About the Game

Crab Crawl is a short, single-player game that has you guiding a hungry crab from its cave into the wider Chesapeake Bay in search of morsels of food to eat. The waters are alive with hungry catfish, voracious bluegill, and mindless jellyfish who twirl around the salty currents, grabbing whatever prey bumbles their way.

Key features:

  • Bright, cartoony, hand-drawn art;

  • An expressive soundtrack to scuttle along to;

  • No penalty for getting caught, and overall a design appropriate for most ages and skill levels;

  • Surprising encounters with sea creatures, enemy crabs, and polluting fishermen.

Find all the food to complete the game, and flee a terrifying predator while saving the bay from its greatest threat!
