    I am so glad people pollute the ocean because it created a large variety of unique weapons and armor for the game.
  • @tyg-zw7nn
    We made a soulslike we feel Nintendo would have made. Sold. Looks like a fusion of platforming/puzzle stuff and soulslike. The shell mechanic is kinda genius.
  • Me at the start: "Haha, silly crab souls! 🦀" Me at the end: "The futility of life can be hopeless and seemingly insurmountable, but through our own actions and free will, perhaps it is within us all to make changes in the world we want to see 🦀"
  • @flads_
    We need more games like this, alot of developers put alot of time in "realistic" graphics instead of focusing in the "fun" part of the game
  • @Bman32x
    The toy shark puppet with a hat on is the villain? I’m in!
  • as someone who is playing this game on easy mode, its still extremely hard😂 another crab's treasure is a new favorite of mine. its soooooooo gooooood
  • @WGasmss
    They really did create a unique game and world, I love this. It brings me back to the feel of old paltforming games but still has the feel of a souls like and it’s amazing how they got all of it to mix so well. The puns are great, and the shell mechanic is 10/10 I’ve never wanted to 100% a game more than this and inscription
  • @WreakinHavocOnU
    This game looks so ridiculous... I love it! Can't wait to try it. LoL!
  • @deepdrag
    Took down the Grovekeeper last night. What a fight. Took me a few hours. Afterwards I started thinking, 'how long is this game.' I don't want this to end any time soon. So, far this is my favorite game of 2024. And one of the best soulslike out there.

    "Your shell has been stolen from you" Aggro Crab officially declares Taxation is Theft
  • Not a fan of souls type games, but your comments about the flexible accessibility options have convinced me to give this game a try!
  • As a Marylander love the addition of the Old Bay container. Also the art style is definitely a breath of fresh air is the souls like genre.
  • @Dinosaur_Arcade
    I'm not big on Souls games. I only platinum Sekiro and Lies of P, but the fact that your main character is a crab got my attention. I always wanted a combat heavy game with crabs and lobsters. Maybe someday someone will make a game starring a mantis. Think of all the combat possibilities with a mantis.
  • @mindflayer5650
    Guys this game must survive I love those lights hearted jokes inside and it's over all designs I beg for it to be finished and done
  • @dudefromtheearth
    Oh this was a real treat! It was ingenious to come out with a game like this. I can't even say that I've played Souls games or Soulslike games. All I know is that I love the character and it's a fun cartoon based game that takes place in the ocean that looks like a real blast! Thank you guys for making this game happen! I'll sure be staying tuned.

    I never finished any soulslike. I usually get furstrated after about 10 hrs, my biggest problem is that i cant parry/block for the life of me. Thats why i never finished lies of p, thymesia, deadcells, salt and sanctuary, blasphemous, ender lilies. This game is so much fun though. I beat the wandering crab dude in the sands between on my own before even getting the first map piece. Right now im fighting the caged abomination in the junkyard sidepath. I love it.

    I’ve been playing this all weekend, and I’m just obsessed… I saw this was a vid where the devs actually spoke about their intentions, and I just want to say - you knocked it out of the park. Truly. I’m something of a “Souls vet,” and this absolutely stands toe-to-toe with any soulslike out there. It might be my new favorite that’s not an actual FromSoft work. It just “feels” right, from combat to exploration… But also, I’ve been gaming since I was a kid in the early ‘90’s, and some of my fondest memories are of exploring the (at the time) mind-blowing worlds of N64 or GameCube-era 3D platformers, and this game manages to evoke that so beautifully, as well. Bright colors, great design, and cute choices/details sell this kind of world so much better than the flashiest new graphics, and while this is visually fancier than those old games and no slouch, it just really taps into that spirit so well. On top of that, the writing in this is just phenomenal. Huge ups for creating such a based piece of anti-capitalist art that somehow still manages to stay funny instead of preachy. Every line of NPC dialogue is a delight, and that is just not something I pretty much ever feel about video games in general (usually with dialogue my feeling is, less is always more… but here I was running around to see what every rando townie had to say). I just… I love it. I don’t know if this is your studio’s “deal,” but please, please consider a sequel, or at least making another soulslike!! 🙏
  • Hope this game gets a sequel it seems deserving of one. I really enjoyed watching the gameplay. Hope it'll be available on ps4.

    Anoraldo Sand Castle DLC called Nonorlando. Just saying.
