About this game

Eat snails, smash rocks, slurp jellies, and slash seaweed as you eat your way from the bay to the sea in this casual-clicker action game that mixes hungry-hungry-hippos and pinball to create a uniquely cute, yet challenging, mobile experience.

How to play:

Swipe and flick snails into the mouth of the Mad Crab to fill up the hunger meter at the top to complete the level.
Time your shots carefully to build up to big bonuses. The higher your streak the more your shot is worth. Will you be a Mad Crab and fizzle out? Or will you eat all the things and become King Crab of the Deep Abyss? The choice is up to you.

Use a throwing type motion with either mouse or touchscreen to throw the snails into the crab's mouth to keep him from going mad. Its not quite a flick, and its not quite a swipe, but get it right and crab eats all night.

There's other factors involved but generally:
Snail speed = Swipe distance / swipe time

Some obstacles may be clicked, swiped, or smashed through.

Drag the blue bubble downward to pause the game.

Very enjoyable! The unique yet simple game-play in Mad Crab Grab makes it a great time-killing game. While it can be repetitive, and has a low skill ceiling, it is an excellent first game from a solo developer and sets the stage for many great games to come. I recommending trying this game out if nothing else for the super satisfying shakes, colors and sounds when you get perfect streak. (Turn on/up you volume, it's awesome!)

Addictive gameplay and fun art style! Definitely worth a shot for anyone who might like something similar to soccer or pool, but more casual. And if you like sea creatures that's a plus! The crab is really cute and fun to feed, and it's sad when he gets stung by jellyfish (gotta stop them!). I like that the levels change things up, like sometimes the crab is running--would love to see more mini games in future builds. I also think it's really impressive everything was created by one person!

Great app. It kept me mesmerized! Very smooth changes, cool colors and lighting. Got pretty hard quickly, nice and challenging. I bet this would keep my kids engaged for a long time, as it sure has got me hooked. I like the idea of feeding a crab!
