Rafty Crab by kuviman
A battle royale on a raft. And you are a crab. Until you loose. Then you are a seagull.
Since this is PvP only, playing with a friend or a couple is much better than alone :)

Anyway the game is hilarious, nice sound effects! I guess that it is multiplayer as there was another crab with me on the raft all the time (and I managed to throw it in the ocean quite a few times). Cool entry!
Directional movement is… interesting, but it kinda fits for a crab so that's okay.
I try several times to get a chance to play with other jammers.
The real question is: why crab? :sweat_smile:

Loved that there was something to do while dead, which is often a failure case of battle royale games.
The graphics were super charming and the fact they are all just textures makes them even better!
I had a great time playing this on stream with everyone! Very impressive being a custom rust engine.
Short but efficient, really easy to understand, funny....
Great game, congratulation !
I love that you give those that were knocked out some way to still influence the outcome of the game. Very clever!
