Default Crab Quest | I made a video game



Crab Quest

This is a small project I made for college. I had to cut it down a bit in order to get it uploaded to the Scirra Arcade. I'll make some more tweaks to it this weekend. I did all the coding and art.

Features music by Bunny.

The music is catchy and the game play is standard. The crabs look great but the background looks off.

The character controls well, however when you run fast enough the camera can't keep up.

I also like the variety of enemies in the first level, laser crab being my favorite.

Fedora boss crab was a tad bit hard, is there any way to beat him besides holding down so you take no damage and spamming up with the tiny crabs of death?

The background is off because I had to shrink the file size down for it to upload. :/

Boss crab is boss crab.

I beat both levels.

Those stupid crabs with the technology killed me the most.
The camera issue with the crabs running off the screen reminded me of Sega with their "blast processing" in the 16 bit era, Lol.

This is not that bad for an first attempt.

i wish my life featured music by bunny

also not sure if you are aware or care but any enemy/boss encounter can be easily beaten by holding down to hide in your shell while you can command the baby crabs to attack without any fear of harm

I actually forgot that there was the shell mechanic and still beat the boss in one try. I mean, come on, his pattern is super simple.

I really like the jump animation for the crab, the music is superb, background is a little washed out, but I see that you're aware of that.

I give it 7 crab legs buttered.
