AAAH, CRABS! by rovingsquid
AAAH, Crabs!
A fun family game about the ramifications of an ill conceived night out.
Scratch them all off before the bites get out of control. Do it quick though, they multiply.
And remember, "The more you have, the worse it is"!

( You'll probably need a good mouse for this game. Laptop trackpads will work, but good luck winning... )
Please note, only the windows version has been well tested, Mac and Linux versions are provided, but may or may not work well...

The controls are fun in their clunkyness, though they still did not feel as "swipey" as I imagined the situation.
Killed 3697 crabs, got 6672 bites
Thanks for the good feedback!
IMO the theme is is not integrated in the mechanics but just a game mode.
I managed to kill 13217 crabs with only 25304.. Won't like to be the man stinged by those crabs ^^
Good entry :)
And I must say damn those crabs xD But I think the hand could move more faster and more responsive, the fact that I am in pain and need to clear them off :p
Anyway overall, good concept and well done. I liked the art too and good music choice with nice sound effects.
All the best and pls feel free to play and rate my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/split
It's way too hard but could be fun on mobile.
Cohesive artwork and sound. The theme doesn't really appeal to me though.
Please rate our game too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/kinball/
Cheers!
Maybe like dx0ne said it could be ported to mobile, it can be a fit.
The silly music also helped with the mood.
Overall really fun!
Congrats on a very well done entry!
