Community Insight:
We saw this game and we remember from the past time so we download the game. We beat three stages and beat one boss and Ill be three stages on the forest, but we couldnt be the medium stage and the sound glitching. And then it kick us out and we didnt know how did it kick us out for no reason but it has been seven years or nine years that checked the update so please update the game and fix the bugs.
We loved this game soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much we play it all the time!And free.
Why does the game crash (the only reason why we gave 5 stars is bc of the 2nd game.
We loved this game ever since we were young. But playing it now just feels so depressing. Everytime you open the game after completing a few levels, the game will just crash after a few seconds. This bug is temporarily fixed by using airplane mode and/or offloading the app and redownloading it, but its not a permanent fix. We even have a theory that the ads are whats causing it. Meaning that buying the full game might be what permanently fixes this issue.But still we ask you this: PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!!! Or better yet, make an Apple Arcade release for this game! This game deserves so much better than it did back then. We loved this game and still do now, but any and all game breaking bugs need to be fixed. Thank you.
Its been years since we played this game and im shocked that its still the same. Will there be more levels? This game is so cute and fun that we hope yall make more levels.
We love this game used we used to play this everyday when we were 7 while watching creepypasta.
We played this game with our brother for hours on end. This was the game we fought with our mother over just so we could play more.
Our childhood game when we were like 4 or 5 this was the goat keep up the good work.
When us little us play dis gaem cusz it fun un gud grafiks.
We know this game is older but its nostalgic and we love it. We see that the app developer is still active you guys should make more levels! We love the cheesy cartoon look and Mr.Crab 2 just doesnt have that. Consider adding some new levels Im sure theres some great theme ideas.
We dont need to explain, just made our day as a younger self.
This game is so nostalgic!!! Us and our dad used to play this game all the time and we still do.
Used to play this when we were really little and we just found it again. We remember liking it a lot. Nice graphics, cute characters, and easy to play. We dont know why but the shiny pearls are very satisfying to collect. Thanks for the memories.
This is a good game and but we think it would be cool if you add more features.
We first played this with our dad when we were 3-4 it was our favorite. We were a little sad when we redownloded the game and had to pay but it was worth it. Thanks for great memories mr crab. Definitely download for a great time you made a good game. (This is better than us crab 2 just saying) Bye.
We try this game before it wasnt free. Please illusion labs make this game free again.
So when we were younger we used to love this game and whenever we got money we would always use it to try to get everything on this game eventually we completed everything there was and we stopped playing for a while but recently we found out about it again and Ive started playing through it again and the nostalgia really hits hard. It is a bit annoying how you do you have to pay for stuff but overall its not really a big deal and we love the new feature that you get to open your mouth to jump still overall great game tons of nostalgia.
This game we used to play a lot when we were younger and we still love it to this day.
We love this game but we have one problem! We keep jumping and jumping but it jumps automatically every time and we dont know what is causing this menace! The developers need to fix the bug this instant! And we mean it.
We love this game and how the graphics were cute and the sound effects, and we played this game with our mom when we were 3. But we dont know why you only have a couple levels and you have to purchase the rest. We read some of the reviews, we some of them we agree. Im not saying the game is bad, but the thing we agree with is the make the characters have special abilities. You see, we bought the whole game and now there is SOOO much to do now, but it gets kinda………………….boring? OKAY OKAY Im not saying the game is bad, but it needs a push, some pep in its step, you know, some energy. So can you add some special abilities, or add some cool stuff in the maps, maybe even mini games. OOOOOOOOOOOOOHH MINI GAMES!!! What a great idea! Please add this stuff, or maybe make a mr crab 3 because mr can 2 kinda sucked. So can you add this stuff, or maybe some of it. BTW, what ever you add, MAKE IT FREE!!!…………..okay bye.
We love this game. We just wanna talk about your old game; blast a way. We miss it, and wish you can bring it back.
We this game. Its really really fun. And we love how on your phone you can open your mouth or stick out your tongue and the crab jumps.
The game is awesome! Everything about it is perfect! An easy 5 star in our book! This game needs more updates with lots more levels! We hope the developers are reading this>.
We love this game a lot. It is really challenging and addictive. We bought all the crabs and all the levels and we're not disappointed. We are half way the game and it saddens us that they are not making new levels because they moved to Mr crab 2 which is really bad and not fun at all.
We love this game so much the sound affects the skins its just perfect. Bonus tip: some people will have the option to watch an ad to get noodles, Gaia, and some other one. And yeah toodles.
Hi there our family loves your game so much and we do too.
This game is so addictive!!! We love the cute graphics and the creative style!! We just wish there were more levels to play.
We first got mr.crab2 then got this so far so god Mr.crab.
We disagree with some of the other people. We like Mr crab a lot. Its really fun. Maybe u could out with new levels we would love it. Pls keep up the good work.
Lots of fun and challenging! Finished all 112 levels…make some more available.
The graphics are really good and the game is so much fun.
We literally love this game, when we were little we used to play this game all the time in our IPad and now we have grown up and we are using it on our phone. We do wish there were more free levels and mr.crabs 2 gave us that change so please create more games like this one. This games reminds us of our childhood and we do really miss it, we dont want it to go away. We love this game so so much and will never forget, even though it really got on our nerves when we got two stars not three. Please dont let this game be forgotten and creators you have got talent so make us proud and create another one we dare you, you hear us…… Ok… Thank you for the experience and we would love to play more Thank you so much we love you MR.CRAB.
Our fav childhood game but it keeps crashing after the first level.
So we used to play this game alot and we were going to redownload it but every time we would beat the first stage we would get kicked out of the game no matter how much we deleted the game and re-downloaded it it just kept shutting off but then we realized this game was made in 2013 It hasnt been updated in seven years so if any anyone sees this UPDATE YOUR GAMES!!!!! ITS BEEN 7 YEARS SINCE YOU UPDATED you guys havent made a game since 2019 please update this game.
Scam 4 moolah 4 stars 5 stars if no scam Just get a good job k.
This game would easily have five stars but the only problem is the levels you have to pay to go on and we dont think thats fair because you can really play one level and then you have to pay to continue playing a free game.
We read someones review called why not for free? And we totally agree. We love this game so much so it is such a disappointment to have these other levels you have to pay for. We have never seen this before in a game and to us this is really saddening, because. We love this game. Only 4 stars for this reason. We love this game, (like Ive said multiple times) please fix this Illusion Labs.
We loved this game..at first. You have to pay to play all the other levels and that not fair. Whats the point? Making us pay for almost all the levels does nothing. You gave us only about 5 free levels and the rest for us to pay for. The crabs are cute and theres no bugs but this problem isnt fair. The levels are fun and cool but we want to try the others, the ones that are not free. Please change this IIIusion Labs, us and other people really like this game and really want to play it fairly.
We absolutely love this game but we like mr crab 2 better but we still love us crab 1 so maybe get mr crab 2.
This game is great but when we trie to get somwhere it always jump s off the wall its so annoying please fix it.
This is a good game but we finished all 14 levels and we finished 14 and pressed next and we had to buy it! Im just a kid so we have to ask our parents to buy it and they will always say no we downloaded this game thinking it would last like 1 year it only lasted us 1 week.
The app mentioned a feature that you can open your mouth to make mr crab jump but it doesnt work.
Why doesnt it work for Android.
This game is awesome! But what bothers us the most! Is that when you are done with all 14 levels, you have to either watch an add or buy a $6.99 game that will only last you 2 min! We just want to play games for our entertainment, not buy it! Please see this illusion labs and take this as consideration…GOOOOOOOOODBYE! -A Frustrated Person.
This was one of our favorite games on our phone so we love it but all of the levels should be free so everyone can enjoy it without having to pay so in the next upgrade that is what you should do.
We love this game but we purchased all of the levels and they arent all available for us, its trying to have us repurchase.
This game is a really good game! The graphics are good and there isnt many bugs. But there is one thing that annoys us.. There are different crabs you can buy like Arnold and Fury, but why do you exactly need them? We know because they look different but also why do you buy them then? If they dont really do anything different why are you asking money for them. We think you should probably make them free, if not then do something like add special jumps or attacks like Noodles can shoot out confetti that makes all the enemies around him explode or get hurt and Arnold can have something like rocket boosters that allow him to kind of fast forward through the level. And maybe make a crab that has special powers that make him a trail to the next baby crab. Also we have one more idea. If you can add a spectate button at the end of the level so you can see yourself going through it. Please read this Illusion Labs, and add any of these ideas if you can. You made a great game but what our ideas are can make the game greater. Take care and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODBYE.
We love this game it is so fun and funny with the character Mr. Crab we love it but there is not many levels at all so we were sooooo board playing the same levels over and over again.
The game and its sequel(s[if somehow there more Mr. Crab games]) is so weird in design and Im autistic so we forgot about this game and we only thought it was a weird fever dream. We hate you not. We thought this game was a dream thats how forgettable it was.
