That was some of the most exciting 0.4 hours of my gaming life. 11/10 - IGN
I've been looking for a way to get crabs and now I've finally found it. Crabs are love, crabs are life.
I love having crabs. I have recommended my friends get crabs. I have even offered to give my friends crabs. I can say with certainty that you will not regret getting crabs.
This game taught me about crabs and their various mental illnesses. Really evocative 11/10
Cared for my crabs like a blue collar mother with a platinum credit card and now my crabs have grown to massive proportions, I'm thinking of sharing them or alternatively starting a crab army. CrabCrew4Lyf
Good game, living my dream of being a crustacean
Adopting a crab is more fun than I expected
I just love owning Crabs. Been growing and bonding with my boy Salty for almost 40 hours. Really simple format that works incredibly well. Cant wait to see where the game goes! CrabCrew4Lyf!
