Hello all! After being in development spanning three years (!), I've at long last finished my arcade shooter game, Crabbie Attack!
This game started its life as Turtle Outbreak back in March 2020 (gee, I wonder what inspired that?) It wasn't long before I felt the game's parody take on the pandemic felt a little sour, so it was shelved, later to be revived and rebranded as Crabbie Attack!
There are plenty of unique physics going on here building off of the delivered gravity mechanics. You'll notice items bounce around, and that was because in the default physics, dropped items would get stuck in walls or worse. Also, a huge challenge was to get two-player mode to work with minimal slowdown.
Testing the game went very well, and I really enjoyed witnessing non-gamers getting into playing this game, and better yet, understanding my game's rules. My personal favorite memory was overhearing a young girl in Syracuse NY's RetroGameCon tell her friend/family member to "play this game... it's good!" I hope you all agree with her!

The full digital release will be posted within this month, and physical cart sales will launch in person at Midwest Gaming Classic on April 1 (no foolin'!)
