I humbly submit "Hexapodidae" in defense of our six-legged crabs XD

Adorable crabs and fun crab facts, nice soundtrack.
Wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to be doing or how to guess an answer in the conversation minigame, and it didn't seem to matter if I was successful or not, but they all ran smoothly and looked great!

I won! The clicky-clack music and jingle are definitely stuck in my head now after hearing them 100 times.

The music is really fun and sets a mood. I love the silly mini games. Reminds me of a mini duck-life type of game but with crabs

What a cute game! The aspect ratio was a bit difficult but once it was full screened, everything was visible! I loved the audio, the sound at the end of the escaping minigame was my favourite. The minigame itself was pretty fun too.

The crab character is really well done, I love the little movements, kind of like it's dancing!

Overall great job!

Fun! It was really cool to see this one at the cabin jam. The crabs facts are super fun and the music was done really well.

This game is bonkers and I love it. Didn't think I'd be trying to interpret crab signals today but here we are. A+.

I like the idea of following the map to an end destination and having minigames as different stages. It reminds me of Club Penguin, other 2000s era web-based games, and edutainment.

Why won't mister diver accept by bubbly wisdom?! Very cute little game. Maybe a hint to which paths lead to which mini-games (or even mood bonuses?), as I ended up mostly getting socialize. Nice submission!

@nondev your crab senses (little lines around you) will indicate a survival stage, but i agree we could have gone further with the idea. also would ideally have a few more mini games. thanks for playing!
