Procrabstination

Funny Idea and I like the concept!

However, I got stuck in the Crab Wars mini-game and could not exit. Not sure why...

The memes, though, are side splitting!

Nice game!

Crabtastic work

Note that to view it on Steam you must be logged in as the collection is age restricted.

LMAO this game! Really funny little game!

Need a button to skip crab wars' opening maybe?

In the end we will all turn into crabs, the optimal life form

This was extremely hilarious!
Biggest highlight so far! So many cool easter eggs err crabb eggs.

This is really cute. All the art is really excellent, especially the color palette in the room. My only suggestion would be to place the computer in a more conspicuous place, so players won't miss all the minigames!

Ok, this game is hilarious. I love the mix of a ton of art styles (that 3D is so cute!). A+ memes. The sound is also excellent and adds a lot to the humor/tone. I played this for a while! Like someone else said, my only criticism is that I got stuck in Crab Wars, I think because the back button is black on black BG? Small comment for a great game. :)

Crab go brrr
+ Millions (a lot) of crab puns
+ Has built-in clicker game with correct number model
+ Crabiroth destroyed my mouse
- Unskippable crabwars cutscene
- (jk) Clicker game won't generate income after leaving the game, which is a bad business model

Funni game, me like

@ideaspersecond @a-flat-miner-studios which version of the game were you playing? I'm trying to reproduce this but am not having any luck on my end 😓

@sebastianscaini The web version on Itch.io. I would suggest adding a dedicated button to exit the mini game that is onscreen at all times.

I absolutely love the concept, lots to play here. I was a little sad that I ran out of stuff to do! very great entry.

I...I really, *really*, want to just post a comment saying "crab" and nothing else.

This game is very cute and humorous. It does really more on random humor through the absurdity of crabs for it, which is not everyone's cup of tea. Luckily, it is *mine.*

The amount of depth here is also hilarious, with the Star Wars and Final Fantasy parodies. The graphics are music are also just an aesthetic.

Just a really nice chill game. Nice job.

Oh this crab is killing me in so many levels lolol
Love the humor in this one

Very nice game, had a lot of fun 👍

Hahah very lovely

It was nice and very relatable. I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you.
Maybe the music was a bit loud, I did not get what was on the radio.

This is a masterpiece.

Most random set of screenshot I have ever encountered so far :D But game is absolutely magnificent. It feels like retro RPG games. Well done.

@sebastianscaini Re: stuck in Crab Wars, I was playing the Web (itch) version on Edge browser.

THIS IS THE BEST GAME ! OMG ! I only wanted to play compo game but I am glad I made an exception for this one, this a masterpiece, I love it so much. I laughed, I cried, I send it to all my friends and I am now a fan of crabs.

A very stupid idea with a very stupid execution! I loved every minute of it!

This was a crabtastic game!

Good job!

This is excellent. I procrabstinated for 6 minutes!

It's crabtastic!
Congrats guys for this amazing game XD

As a temporary fix for CRAB WARS looping in the WebGL build, die without clicking and it should go back to the menu correctly. We'll hopefully get a fix out for that soon.

Adding Crabiroth to my hardest video game bosses of all time list

You are totally crazy about crabs :D you game is quite mad ;)

Please I need to know what happens in The Lustacean (love this sm

Damn, this game is crab! Awesome game! I was laughing my ass off on the crab puns and learned a lot about crab. Thank you for making this game. It is my favourite until now.

really good game, super funny, great style. congratulations!

Feel like you really went for the humor category. Much crab. Such puns. Unless I missed something, this is basically a collection of mini games. The mini games are alright, but not anything spectacular. I like the 3D home place's graphics and sounds, but the computer's graphics could be substantially improved.
For the specific mini games...
Crab clicker has good difficulty scaling, but is a bit short and has no goal.
For Crab Wars, I like the text but I don't want to have to read it every time I die. Also, I don't understand how the score works. Otherwise, decent mini game.
I'm not entirely sure if Final Crabstasy is possible to win on Android, as I was tapping as fast as I could and still barely lost.
Very glad you ported to Android, as that's the platform I played on.
Enjoyed the game.

6 minute of procrabstination :D i like the music and crab jokes was funny too.

One of my absolute favourite games I've played so far! I love that you can go on the computer and play the minigames, the concept is really great! The art is beautiful and I liked the music too, the only thing I have to say is the minigames lack more interesting mechanics but overall I love the game!

Fellow crab game solidarity!

Very cozy game!
Lost it a 'lustacean'!

crab. Big dub imo

Quite a unique experience. The room's aesthetic is super cozy!

Wow, what disponibility! Loved the music, didn't get at first, but after cleanning all I got that I should procrastinate, hahaha

I liked the crabs.

Really liked the atmosphere in this one, felt like a mixed media experience, the music, the 3d room and the minigames were standouts. Thanks for sharing this on stream.

Games within a game?! Awesome!

I wish I could skip crab wars so I could try to defeat my score faster, but the overall game was rather good, I liked all the references/memes :)

The Final Crabtasy almost broke my hand, but I manage to defeat it. Loved the mood, the humor and the attention to the sound and aesthetic.

Okay I'm at 18k on the crab clicker game and I need out

Great entry! Sound and visuals were excellent.

The art is beautiful and music fits in nicely. I loved the memes and that you can go outside lol Very nice

Haha very funny stuff, very creative around the crab theme... So many things to try. Good entry

The game is just a load of crab, the art is so crabby it feels like a cash crab.

Nice art and jokes! Great job, congratulations!

A funny, self-contained and creative little experience. I'm a big fun of some of the small touches and can easily listen to the Crab ASMR for hours. There are some small gripes, I've had, like the Crab Wars cutscene being unskipable, but you could easily just click through the result screen if you weren't careful, but that's knit picky. The graphics and audio really tie it all together and it's so nice to see creative interpretations of the theme.

Great idea, loved the humor. Its fits the theme really well too. I had a lot of fun playing this !

I think this was unintentional, but the fact that all the games were pretty easy to accidentally click and start the game over is actually pretty clever. Without it, the player is likely to exit at will and finish up the game, but with this one you're more playing as the avatar who won't stop playing. It's a great use of mechanics to sell the theme :)

Really creative game idea and very fun

Claw-some game. And while I must crab-mit that the whole pinch-sertion of crabs was a bit… crab-stract, I cant help but to tip my hat to the shell-cellent pun crab-pacity you have demonstrated, well done !

Love those crab meme. The visual is really cute and the gameplay is relaxing.

Very fun game!

Games are super stupid and useless and this fits so well with the theme and the game, good job. I love the art on every part of the game, and it feels polish even with so many crab styles!

Thanks for making me lose 9 minutes of my day 🦀

i uh clicked the crab

@peachtreeoath haha we've been found out! that was 100% the vision :smile:

lol ok it was right on the border of being intentional/unintentional so I couldn't tell, which makes it even better!

funny experience!

Wait... How did you know what my pc desktop looks like?

Very goofy game. Love it.

Awesome experience :)

well, that was surreal. i think i put on all of the clothes / interacted with the crab things, but it still gave me the "you're forgetting something" when i went outside. i was kinda expecting the character to be wearing the crab clothing and accessories.

it was pretty frustrating not being able to skip the crab starwars intro sequence, which i'm guessing was intentional, but still not a good experience, especially the second time. i ended up closing the tab after pressing many buttons.

thanks for making my day a little weirder!

I'm the kind of person who procrastinates on work on the computer by cleaning my room, so I instantly lost the first time I played. It's a delightful little clicker game, and just a fun silly concept. Crabiroth was a tough fight, but thanks to my years of Cookie Clicker I managed to take him down! Like other people have said, it was a bit too easy to click through and restart a minigame, and the unskippable intro to Crab Wars was kind of tedious, but those enhance the procrastination. Also... I'm not saying I'd read a full-length novel of The Lustacean, but I'm also not saying I wouldn't. Loved the idea, and great execution as well!

Excellent commitment to a joke! I played the android version.
Shell-phiroth got me a couple times, but eventually my fingers limbered up and he went down.
Then I realized I was stuck in the minigame and it just kept looping. Still, lots of fun. Great job!

Really cute and neat game! I loved the FF7 bit too. Fun submission. Good job!

I procrastinated for hours on your game hahaah very cool!

very neat game! love all the stuff you've dotted around, just wish there was more of course!

Love this game. The modeling is cool and I enjoyed the crab memes. BTW, I almost broke my mouse playing final crabtasy LOL.

Pensaba que no me iba a gustar pero wow increible propuesta, me lo he pasado extrañamente bien procarastinando con cangrejos jajaja jamas pense que clickar como una psicopata el raton iba a ser divertido

You are my fav game. 5's all around. This game has me so ded. WTH guys whyyy?!

You hit every love I have. Randomness, minigames, cool people sounds synth'd together. This game is amazing.

+ Maybe lower the music a bit when the radio is on. I couldn't understand what it was saying.

Love this game and all the jokes, great job XD, may you ascend into the final stage of evolution : CRABS

Also i would love to see more the little story you wrote haha

A laugh-out-loud experience that looks excellent and really gets the theme right. There's a lot of stuff to do for a jam game, too! My only gripe is that it contains a lot of mashing, which isn't exactly accessible (something to keep in mind for your next jam), but overall a fun game. Well done!

I am too much of a responsible adult now and only discovered the minigames after I had cleaned the room. I lost it at Crabiroth.

What a game, this can only be done with jam

The largest crab has legs spanning 4 meters or 13 feet? That's a lot of feet for one leg!

Crab Apple doesn't seem like that good of a pun, but when I thought of the alternative (Crapple), that wouldn't be too favourable either. Crabble, maybe? Or even Crabple, to have "b" stand next to its vertically flipped counterpart "p".
...Crab pie?

Crab Wars: Got 8 points on my first go, possibly because I tried to avoid all these bullets which as later turned out might have actually been stars or something. On my second run I got 245 points. Would be nice if I could hold down mouse to shoot automatically, instead of click-spamming. There's already another click-spammy game here.

Crab Clicker: Managed to get up to the 800-costing claw and 1000-costing auto-crab before proceeding to other types of procrastination. The crabs appearing in the background were nice.

Crab Fantasy: Rather than being another click-spammer, I wish it instead had two commands - Attack and Heal - and it would be properly turn-based. I mean, isn't it what lots of jRPGs boils down to - cast recovery abilities when things get tricky, and spam attacks otherwise?
One more thing: wish the attack sound effect wasn't so loud, because it prevented me from enjoying the music.

I can relate to delaying laundry more than I'd like to admit. Though in my defense, I'm not procrastinating from doing my laundry *right now*.

Overall, this was nice little crabby silliness, I admire the dedication for crabs and the amount of content. It was enjoyable, but I'm also sort of glad there wasn't too much of it, so it didn't overstay its welcome. Well done, I expect some high Humor rank for this one. ^^

That was fun for sure ! I missed the game by doing the laundry first, but I liked procrabstinate after that :crab:

Really fun concept! I finished doing the laundry within one minite and didn't realize I missed the minigames until I saw the conmments and replay it.
