Community Insight:
Hello we know you probably wont ever get this but if you do we wanted to ask if you could update the game like more crabs more skins mabye eaven a one player mode oh and third person and more rankings and can there maybe be a speckle event where in the crab grab is a certain percent off of cours you dont have to anyways have a great day:).
Really fun and addictive game it should come to console.
The game is Great but the Service disconnect or have connection issues quite often and whenever you get +5 upgrade points out of the slot machine it doesnt register and gives you none of them. Other than that the game is amazing we just want those few things to be fixed and we cant wait for more crabs to be added.
Ive never written a review for any game…. Ever… Usually after to many ads or cant progress without spending actual dollars, which we would never spend on any game, we delete. This game Ive had since the beginning and LOVE IT. Love the crabs and their special abilities, the stupid hats are ridiculously awesome and a must have, the idea behind this game is great…( Great job Robot Squid , shouts out to you guys ) Love that you can get coins by watching a add , or pearl or XP points ( the magnet is the best ) without spending actual dollars. It does take a long time to progress without spending hours playing but thats the point yall . If the game was too short would have nothing to work for. Some games never update but this one does not disappoint. We hope Robot Squid keeps doing that by adding more crabs , skins , hats and would be awesome if there were different islands but cant be easy for a indie game so completely understand , it takes time , so Robot Squid thats your homework , keep it coming yall !!!! ( More weapons would also be dope, thinking katana sword ….. On fire ).
Lets just get to the meat of the game: its fast paced, stupid easy to play ( thats a tremendous feat in todays game play), its not repetitive, it has tremendous replay value , it has tremendous opportunity for growth, and its absolutely a riot to play. Im of the belief that if a vendor puts out a quality game where you dont have to spend money to win; we will always support them. We have purchased a few items and it didnt give us any super advantage over anyone else but it; thats okay; we love our watermelon skin crab! Anyways thats our review and will continually update this as the game progresses.
Haha funny crab go brrrrrrrr kill crab funny.
This game is just as simple and straightforward as it needs to be.
This is one of the best games Ive ever played In our life, the only thing that its missing is a new crab. We have the best crabs in the game but it get boring because that the best crab and there no better crabs to achieve.
Its so much fun to spend time just playing around. We agree it could use a tutorial.
Absolutely love this game. Ive been playing for about a month now. Ive unlocked all the crabs and am still unlocking skills and skins. Soooo much fun. However we are not a fan of the new update. :( The new beach layout doesnt have the same beachy feel to it and it can sometimes be frustrating get stuck on all the new blockages. The crabs are tough enough (but also fun enough) to navigate on their own, we hate getting stuck on something every few seconds. We just want to destroy things and battle! Love all weapons. The new energy can is awesome. The soy sauce is eh funny touch, but not really needed… The green glass bottles are entertaining enough. The game itself is fast-paced, hilarious and entertaining. Looking forward to any new future updates.
UPDATE THE GAME, SO MANY BUGS & CRASHES. We <3 THE GAME THIS IS WHY IM FRUSTRATED.
Its very glitchy and it just gets worse the bigger you get and the faster you move if that can be fixed and maybe make the viewing range bigger we think this lil neat game can go far.
We like this game because you fight in a 1v1 scenario and Ive got one GIANT problem IT KEEPS CRASHING. We are in a match and then the screen goes black and goes back to the home screen and please fix this glitch and also it lags.
Fix your re-spawns. Re spawning next to monster crabs and 5 other player crabs way over your growth level is dumb. Now you might say to wait it out before you hit Start but some of these big ass crabs wont move from the area. Fix the poor spawning situation and its a 5 star.
We have really good internet but every time. We play its always laggy its really annoying.
First of all we wanna say that the idea of the game and game play is so good we loved the game and enjoyed it a lot. But unfortunately it gets crazy laggy like you cant even play and you see yourself crushed by someone else already. We do have a good internet but still cant play. If they could fix this issue we would wanna play this game more often. Sorry for the bad review but we had to mention that. Thank you.
Unfortunately, we have found a bug in a matter of time, the crabs design and graphics are horrible! Please fix, or add a quality / graphics setting.
Takes forever to load. Sometimes it just freezes at load screen, but audio plays in background.
When we start the game it tells us to upgrade our crab, so we do but now Im out of points and it still tells us to upgrade our crab and Im stuck in the tutorial and cant do anything.
Always crashes! And just when things are getting good.
To be honest its a great app but iit just looses connection out of no where so we cant move our crab around and we have really good internet connnection idk if its a bug or not terrible performace.
This game has potential, but it has a lot of problems. The first is a connectivity issue. When you are playing online it stalls and freezes. The game itself is also not fun, because the idiots who programmed the spawning made it so that youre always surrounded by a majority of much larger crabs. Your experience will be trying to avoid larger crabs that chase you down and dont give you a chance to get big. The other problem is the controls. They are sluggish and clunky. When you try to get away from someone chasing you, you get hung up on the map geography and get killed. Uninstalled.
Goes fine for a minute until an OP player comes and smashes you. Severely unbalanced.
We finish the tutorial and go to play multi player and it keeps kicking us out of the app.
Freezes on loading page and dose not move on.
When we downloaded it we putted us into the tutorial and we finished it and then it said robot squid and we didnt let us in the stupid game we delete it and Undeleted it but we still couldnt get in so fix this right and Im giving this stupid game a one star for nOt putting us in.
Who could have thought of the game of crabs is so much fun. We have been playing it for 3 days and its strangely very addicting. The good thing is you dont have to pay in order to enjoy the game. You can earn bonus and rare crabs just by watching ads. The game is well thought with fun elements (weapons, shields, hats, skins…) to boost attack/defend. Overall, the developer did a very good job. Thank you.
You can be a crab! Seriously, why would you play anything else?!?! 10 out of five stars.
We have full bars and nothing will load.
This game is very fun to play, it can get annoying when you spawn near a big crab, but overall its very fun. Our main problem with this is that we cant get into king mode. We have sat for ten minutes and we didnt get in. We would suggest making a offline mode, to help new players, and make connection issues less of a problem.
This game is dope as hell. We got our cousin hooked on it and we stay getting people mad af when we murder them with the Alien Crab. Lol we just came to read the comments about people complaining because the alien crab got them. Ooops lol.
Love it and it dont spam us with ads every time you die.
Love it so much fun and great if we made this game we would play it to.
Its a simple and stupidly addictive game. If you dont get too butthurt you will have a blast.
This game is awsome we love the crab models sometimes it can be a bit grindy though also the abilities make each crab so different some are a bit OP such as alien crab other than that its a great game if you like smashing crabs into paste.
Crab rave meme irl game cool cool cab fun mutplyer 10 out of 1.
This game has outstanding graphics and is a very fun game to play. Its one of our favorite games of all time. Those dudes at robot squid are awesome.
Ive had this game for a couple days now and we love it, but there is one problem, the problem is that we consistently lag out of games, we even turned the graphics down one but it still happens, besides this problem the game is great.
This game is very fun to play. Youll need to be online in order to play it though. The Crabs are really neat, and make sure you check for extra upgrades or bonuses before each game you play, as your Crabs can level up or wear hats/with different designs. We look forward for anything new for this game.
We really love this game but we also have an Android and want to use our account on both of IPhone and android. So we guess if you guys can add a save all data option on Facebook then that would be great.
Ive been playing this game for awhile now and we gotta say that it really does take the time out of our day cause its sooo fricken addictive, like we own every crab, and so the thing we like about it is that just because you have the biggest crab doesnt mean you are gonna kill everything in your path, size and strength also matters. Each crab has its own special abilities so you got to get a little bit tactical despite what crab you are. Overall Flawless game! If anything, please in the future add more crabs? We mean like add just more crabs in general it would mean a lot and add way more fun to the already amazing game! Much love Edit: hey we also want to conclude that maybe add a chat for when your in the arena like when your fighting for dominance because it would definitely add some spice to the game, thanks.
We love this game we have been playing for a few hours already but it keeps crashing us and we have to offload the app and download it again which wastes our time and we just wanna play the game without crashing.
This game is fun but there mite be lag for you,we had lag. But it is fun. FUN FUN FUN.
Hi! This app is great for kids and teens that love crabs! Its fun and exiting! But we were wondering if you could make an easier way to get the different crabs? Im just a kid and does not have money to purchase the purls. We really want the hermit crab skin because we have a hermit crab, but it is very hard to get. Every thing else is great.
Wow, just wow. This game is so amazing! The graphics, and animations are amazing! Im so addicted. We really hope you make more games, because this is awesome! We came back just check if you had more games, because we love this! Keep up the good work.
The game is great but its starting to lag a lot and takes the enjoyment y away.
This is amazing hope peeps play soooooo much of this and good reviews.
The only thing that could make this game better is if they added a orange fiddler crab otherwise a great game.
This game is actually really good. Graphics and gameplay are like heaven, we havent crashed and Im using a three year old iPod. The developers actually know what they are talking about and they reply and try to fix problems, they arent distant or detached from the community like almost all other devs. There isnt much more to say, its just good. You should definitely try it out, maybe give them a five stars if you feel like it because the devs are the absolute best people. We feel like this game is very underrated and it should be more recognized.
