8 itemsAbout the Game
Scuttle Up is a punishing platformer where you play as a depressed-yet-agile crab. Your journey begins in a boring corporate office, and your mission is to escape the 9-5 and ascend to the top of a mysterious island. A prize worthy of a king crab awaits you at the top, but do you have the resolve to make it there?
When you're not falling off the map, you can enjoy the interesting and stylized environment of The Island. There are little secrets hidden throughout, so make sure to look around.
How To Enjoy:
- Be a crab. Awesome
- Grab & throw objects to make it look like you know what you're doing
- Collect hidden hats, wear them, & look cooler than your friends
Remember:
- If you can't make it very far, its a skill issue; try getting good
- You will lose faith in yourself, this game, and all of mankind
- Prepare to suffer
