Local multi-player lobster arena battle!

Wonky controls and lots of action!

Player 1 : WASD-R/Gamepad
Player 2 : Arrow-keys P

Check out a battle here:

Edit: I decided I like Clobsters enough to pursue it a bit further. I am looking into a small scope console release. I registered Clobsters.com, check back there or follow @HartLabs on Twitter for updates.

First rule of the clobs club: we don't talk about the clobs club. 5/5

Would be nice to see some network play so us lonely people could play without frantically searching for a friend, other than that, my only other complaint is the controls feel a little "floaty" at times.
Very original concept and a lot of fun to play around with.

reminds me of starwhals with lobsters, very fun!

I had no idea being a lobster was so harsh. Kudos on the leg animation. The opponent AI isn't too challenging though.

Not sure what it has to do with the theme, but an intersting game mechanic. A bit like sumo, so you have to puch the other lobster into the sea urchins to slowly kill him. I only played 1p so didn't really get the full experience, but it was nicely polished with amazing character physics/animations.

At first I thought the controls were quite clumsy, but then realised this simply added to the fun and struggle of the game! Very well thought out and original :)

Cool game, lobsters need to drink less

Animation is great, very fluent, but it's also very confusing to get into.
Too bad I don't have anyone to try it out with me :(

I never would have thought it but now I know that I have always wanted a lobster fighting game.

Multiplayer :) I love the idea of movement and there are pro moves to be made! Easy to learn hard to master!

Kinda felt weird playing by myself, but the game is entertaining even just bashing two lobsters together awkwardly.

Clobsters is such a great name, this game made me grin wildly! I love the physics, it's just a shame it's not a tad more predictable. The encroaching sea urchins also made my day.

I really like this. The legs look very nice.

Played this one with my SO and we had a lot of fun, lots of laughs. The physics were crazy and we couldn't figure them out, kept spinning around all over the place. I loved how the ring kept shrinking, very nice touch. I think if you polished up the audio this could be a really good game.

Really crazy controls! I love the way the legs are animated on the lobsters. When you do the official release, if you do online multiplayer, I can imagine 6+ player battles could get really interesting!

i really liked the way the lobsters moved, even though it was a bit challenging at first

That was fun! was difficult to manage but that made ​​more challenging, the instructions could have been elsewhere were not seen, but the best I've tasted so far, good job! :)

Really nice! Movement was a bit weird, but it felt really solid as well.
