adventure crab mountain method by tak

[raw]
made by tak for LD28 (JAM)
adventure crab mountain method is an experimental food chain game

you're a crab, and there are more than a few things that aren't crabs. check that out!

THE MAC VERSION is now playable :P sorry about that

just a few tips on what you can do:
- you pick up certain items by walking on them.
- you can check what items you have by cycling thru them with the up-arrow key
- you can drop whatever item you have selected with the down arrow key
- certain animals react to other animals
- certain animals react to certain items
- it's possible to kill all animals

I can't stress enough how awesome this art style is. Very nice job on the art. I unfortunately couldn't figure out the game play, but I'll give it another shot if you can post some more detailed info on how to play it?

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS GAME. It's weird at first and then once it clicks... oh man... you're on this mad exploration dash to figure out all the little secrets.

It looks. So. Fucking. Good.
And it sounds great, too. More than great, actually.

I'm not totally sold on the theme connection so maybe you need to explain it better to me or something... but that's my only gripe. I managed to map the controls to X-Padder and had a blast running around snipping things and poisoning all kinds of crazy creatures.

AWESOME GAME!

Good entry! I like the visuals but I can't understand what I need to do actually. I only kill few snails and one big creature.

Didn't get what it is the relation with the theme but... this is so beautiful and relaxing... definitely deserve much more comments!
Good job!

PS: Just a random note, at the screenshots, the crab looks like an angry face. o.0

Art style, mind=blown. That, combined with the audio gives it an amazing atmosphere. I had no idea what to do though apart from tun around and attack/pick up random things, but I loved it!

This is just so cool! Would be cool if you explored it further maybe! I've always been a sucker for games with ecosystems and stuff like that :D

This is a beautiful piece of work. Seriously love the art and music. Had a Proteus feel to it, but with crabs (which makes it better ;)
