I love having crabs. I have recommended my friends get crabs. I have even offered to give my friends crabs. I can say with certainty that you will not regret getting crabs.

So. Much. Potential!!!! Please don't give up on the development of this game, it already has so many good parts and I'd be overjoyed to see where it can go!! First, it's very cute (even just the strolling and jumping are top tier) and easy to play, the crabs look amazing and so does the general environement. Loving the "build and decorate tank" options even if limited fr now (loving it even more now that I've understood how the scale works lol, poor first bro got a lot of miniatures stuff). On one hand it's not that easy to figure out at times and the general mechanics are a bit blurry (no real discernible goal aside from keeping the Pinchy Friend alive - which is a cool goal but a couple of extra info boxes could work in favor of impatient players) but discovering how everything fits together slowly and getting excited for updates and unexplained sightings is a real joy. The Backyard Adventures are obviously in early stage but the squirrel aready gave me a couple of jumpscares and the fact that we're not immediately grabbed and banged on a rock or something (we do be looking like nuts in fairness) is excellent. (old man shakes fist at sky moment: so tired of the constant zombiei…

Awesome little game, not much too do yet except watch and clean. I leave the game on to get exp and collect poop for pearls, I love hermit crabs and this is the second best thing. Can't wait to see what they add! would love to see water features, hiding in shells and them digging. crabs often get stuck circling eachother creating a poop circle.

Since it's an early access game, there isn't much for now. As of now, it's pretty much a Tamagotchi :) Feed it on a daily basis and don't let it die. If you are NOT into such a game, then Crabs is NOT for you. Your crab finds pearls (around 1 100 a day) everyday (as the game keeps going while you are absent) which is the money of the game - so you can purchase food and water for it and eventually, a better spot to live, but that's it (for now?). I don't understand "yet" the reviews saying that players learnt a lot about hermit crabs... Even in the backyard adventure, I thought that I had to avoid the squirrel, thinking it would eat my crab, but no. Plenty of potential places to visit in the yard, but nothing to do with them yet.
