"Contextualize in Aghrrr"
148X - On a stormy night at sea, Boris, a half-hearted pirate, lies drowsy in his bunk, plagued by a sharp stomachache. As he writhes in discomfort, he tumbles across the floor of his cabin, tormented by hallucinations brought on by malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, and the relentless rocking of the ship. In his delirium, Boris faces a terrifying vision. Now, he must fight for his life and find a way to escape this nightmare… or perish.
Crabs and Rats is a 2D platformer with a Pixel Art and Cartoon style, set in a chaotic pirate world. Inspired by the vertical slider format, the game challenges players to dodge obstacles, avoid deadly traps, and escape from white rats and massive green crabs, all while trying not to fall into the abyss.
Designed for two-player local co-op, the game puts your reflexes and coordination to the test as you navigate through collapsing wooden platforms, fast-paced levels, and unpredictable hazards.
