A tiny crab survives the only way its kind knows how — by growing.

Your shell is your armor and your health. Fill your molt meter, then choose your moment: crack your shell open, go soft and exposed for a few terrifying seconds, and emerge bigger and stronger. But the beach is watching — other crabs are always circling, waiting for the moment you have nothing to protect you.

Slam your shell outward to knock enemies back and buy yourself room to breathe. Survive the escalating swarm, molt as many times as you can, and see how big you can grow.

Made for [Club Club Jam Jam] — theme: SHELL.
