Crab Champions

Crab Champions is a project where an unusual hero falls under control: you have to play as crabs. The tropical islands are surrounded by palm trees, sand, ocean, rocks and exotic animals. The islands are connected to each other, and the path lies through sandy areas and thickets. Weather and time of day change the behavior of creatures on the island. Battles are based on movement: the crab slides, jumps and accelerates, and survival depends on the accuracy of these actions. There are a lot of opponents, so you have to constantly change your position. The controls are simple, but require some habit: the crab accelerates quickly and brakes poorly. Jumps and dashes are performed in the air, and the level of skill is immediately noticeable. Weapons and items are given out randomly, and they are combined into assemblies for different styles. Some of the barrels bounce, some fire in bursts, some work from a charge. Rare items provide noticeable bonuses, and combinations sometimes look absurd. Between waves you are given a break to choose your next purchase. Races take place on procedurally assembled islands, and after death a new one begins, with different conditions. Co-op and leaderboards encourage you to continue playing. The races don't last long, but failure sends you to another archipelago. Achievements unlock new items and starting conditions. Anyone who loves fast roguelikes and unusual heroes will find these islands suitable. Co-op supports up to four players, which turns the race into a noisy competition. Records and race tables encourage people to come back.
