About the Game

CRABS! is a chaotic, physics-driven brawler for 2–4 players. Build and battle fully destructible crabs across underwater arenas using modular weapons, procedural animation, and reactive movement systems.

Every crab is procedurally animated and made of dynamic parts that can be blown off mid-fight. The crab adapts and keeps going. The movement system adjusts in real-time based on limb count, weight, and terrain — making every match unpredictable.

Equip a wide range of weapons and modifiers: from explosive launchers to precision rifles. Each weapon can be customized with variables like fire rate, damage, piercing, and ricochet. Mods can also unlock movement options, turning weapons into tools for traversal and escape.

Features:

  • Local/Online Multiplayer (2–4 players) 

  • Fully destructible, procedurally animated crabs

  • Reactive movement based on custom limb physics

  • Dynamic, modifiable weapons and combat tools

  • AI enemies with unique traversal and behaviour

  • Round-based upgrade system with varied builds
