\"Crab<\/a><\/h1>\n

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas Apple gave to me… \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Mr. Crab<\/h1>\n

Illusion Labs\u2019<\/a><\/strong> latest game is a vertical platform auto-running game that simply requires you to know when to jump and how high to jump to avoid obstacles. Mr. Crab\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> controls may sound easy, and its colorful visuals might appear to be a bit young for some, but this friendly crustacean offers players loads of challenge.\"Crab\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

With his bright red shell, babies, goggly eyes, and a hat slightly askew on his head, <\/span>Mr. Crab<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> is a delightful crustacean character.\u00a0Each level he attempts to climb in order to reach the summit essentially loops in a circle and if you miss a jump It means falling down to a lower platform and up you go again. As Mr. Crab travels the circle, he collects his baby crabs along the way. Hazards can cause the baby crabs to fall off but Mr. Crab has the ability to retrace his steps and collect them again. As players progress through the game, platforms get smaller, more precise jumps are required and close attention must be paid to Mr. Crab\u2019s environment. There are a whopping 44 levels to conquer in this game, each increasing in difficulty and pulling the player in as he progresses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I actually downloaded this game because I enjoyed\u00a0Rayman’s Jungle<\/a><\/strong> so much and decided to give Mr. Crab a quick play before sitting down to write. I have to admit, I was quite taken with the game\u2026and experienced the right amount of frustration when I had to repeat a direction. I did learn that some of those drops worked in my favor…or would that be Mr. Crab’s favor? \u00a0Although the game might feel a bit repetititive, it may be one of those games you play for a while, put down, but eventually pick it back up.\"Crab<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
