I don't know why but the loading bar went up to about 293% while loading the game on FifeFox :smile: 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!
SFX are great! The gameplay slightly tricky due to limitation of the space. Seagull is my favorite one. But the lore of the game is unclear. Overall, the game is original and fun :cool:

Cool game with breathtaking sound effects. Those are some very hungry sharks, either that or rafts are made of baguettes.
Directional movement is… interesting, but it kinda fits for a crab so that's okay.

As other said, hilarious but I would prefer if there was some level of AI when there is not another player online as without another player it's difficult to tell what the goal is. Also some kind of "winner" banner as the last player standing would be good

I like this kind of graphics, it reminds me plastation 1 game.
I try several times to get a chance to play with other jammers.
The real question is: why crab? :sweat_smile:

Now I've played your game so often on Jeremy's stream, I keep losing. OMG, OMG, OMG! Nice game though

It was definitely confusing at first to try and figure out what was going on, especially when whoever is also playing isn't doing anything. Also wasn't expecting to spawn as the seagull when the game first booted! Love the concept, agree with another comment about maybe having an AI feature for solo play. Nice entry!

A classic Kuvi game, fun as always! Loved playing a little with Jerem's viewers and I feel like I've gotten pretty good at it already. Looking forward to seeing this in the scorechaser's tournament :)
Yo I actually loved playing this game so much! The concept of it is incredibly well executed and was quite enjoyable to play! It was a little confusing at first to how it worked, but once you get the hang of it, it was really fun!

I really like the clean 1v1 part of the game, I wonder if it could even have deeper yet simple mechanics to increase the skill ceiling.
As others have said I'd love a winner's banner so I can display my crab dominance!
Thanks for letting me play this on stream, it was awesome!

Played on Pomo's stream, had a blast!
Loved that there was something to do while dead, which is often a failure case of battle royale games.
Super fun. So glad I got to play it while a streamer was showing it so I could play with so many people :) great work! Really cool and a genuinely good time. Polished and pleasant to look at and listen to. Just a great entry all around.

Poor crabs. The entire world is out to get them.
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.
Hahahsha such a funny concept and sounds. Also I didn't meet any bugs good game man
Kuviman never disappoints, really funny game! Great to see the Rust crabs there :)

That... was pretty awesome !! I had the opportunity to play with stranger, that was really intense ! Short but efficient, really easy to understand, funny....
Great game, congratulation !
Game gets so chaotic, its pretty fun. I just wish there was an audio slider, but otherwise amazing entry!

I just played during your stream it was so much fun! Also impressive to have done a multiplayer game like this in such a short time!

Fun session with 16 people. Lots of pooping and rng, strong casual party game vibes.

I just played this on stream with you and it was hilarious 😂
Another Kuvi Classic, can play this for an entire stream. It all comes together, love it Speaking of, did you know this man streams the development during LD? Thank you so much for making this and for being the background noise I needed!
fun game to play with others for a lil' bit, great music : )

I had a lot of fun playing this during icylava's stream. Great job on making a multiplayer game!!!
Played a couple of times with twitch groups, it's just a fantastic game. I'll be using it to settle disputes in future for sure :)

The game was a joy to get to play during a stream! Definitely is a ton of fun in a hazardous lobby. For small critique the seagull crosshair does not appear to be entirely accurate, but that may just be due to latency or something. Regardless that doesn't take away from the fun, great job!

That was a lot of fun, and the simpleness of the battle kept it very light hearted and enjoyable. MORE CRAFS PLEASE.
Nice, that game was really fun to play through, I'm grateful I got to play it with a group! (played with @rincs)
The bravery to go for a multiplayer game in a jam is noted. Awesome fun to play while watching a stream haha. And the audio, fantastic!
Another killer multiplayer game from Kuviman! The game runs astonishingly smoothly and is lots of fun. The fact that you can still engage with the game after you die is awesome too (and hilarious) Good stuff!

Battle royale for a jam game!? You're insane! This is so cool! Love the parappa-esque graphics and hilarious mouth sfx. I tried joining once when no one was on and it was a little sad--maybe an AI could join you if there's no one else on? Tried again later when someone was streaming it and it was hilariously fun. Great work!

This was genuinely a lot of fun. Was a great idea to have you submit it in streams because that's where the fun really shines especially with streamer commentary. Was also really cute. What sets this apart from other kind of battle royale games was the fact you can actually still do something despite being out of the game, makes the engagement constant and it was done very humorously. Very well done!
a classic and silly kuvi special :D The visuals are really good, paid off making the tool you did imo! You often think of fun multiplayer experiences that really respect the theme, kudos!

I like this painting style
[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1944529420?t=03h43m05s)
I love that you give those that were knocked out some way to still influence the outcome of the game. Very clever!
Fun to see a battle royale for a jam game! I liked that you had stuff to do after dying. Good work!
This game was really fun! Liked pretty much everything about it. Also quite impressive with a online game for a game jam
So smart to have a single lobby that everyone joins, honestly just brilliant. Played with some friends, was a lot of fun. The aesthetics/art/sound were all great. Super impressive to do a solid multiplayer game for a game jam. Loved it a lot!

I really had fun with this one. Felt good to win a round too. I am really bad at being a seagull though haha
