A downloadable Crab Simulator for Windows, Linux, and Android

Play as an ordinary brown crab (Cancer Pagurus), living somewhere in the Cromer Shoal Chalk Beds Marine Conservation Zone, and attempt to Survive™️.
There are some dangers that you may face here, such as from starvation, or from another crab (controlled by someone else) trying to unceremoniously crab you to death (yes, that does happen), so don't get too comfortable. Circle of life and all that jazz.

The environments used in this game are authentic marine environments, so you know it's legit :^)

THIS GAME IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT. PLEASE READ THE README FILES INCLUDED IN THE DOWNLOADS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
