Crab Catch
Eiichi Fujimoto

Introduction

One day, a crab that was playing by the seashore decided it wanted to travel beyond the sea. In order to prepare for the trip, this crab needs to eat 10 apples, which are being dropped by an unidentifiable bird.
However, the old sea urchins and hermit crabs want to stop the crab. Furthermore, apples are not the only thing the bird drops…
Catch the apples and go beyond the ocean.

How to Play

This game only needs the cursor keys to move. The sea urchins aren’t as threatening as they may seem. To catch the apples, you need to be standing at the water’s edge. You have to achieve your objective within 2 minutes.
