Crab Game 3: Shell on Earth
Due to the laboratory explosion of 2022, the world has been overrun with crabs of various shapes and sizes. These crabs have been going around attacking innocent people and causing mayhem everywhere they go. You are the sole worker of a restaurant called The Pickle Grotto located squarely in the middle of one of humanity's last remaining cities. The Pickle Grotto and the city has just come under attack. Luckily for you not all the crabs that escaped are evil, some even love pickles. Serve those crabs, hire their help, and defend your restaurant from the crab menace.
This game is composed of two phases. Phase one sees you grilling and pickling cucumbers to serve to your crabby customers. By doing so you earn money and points. These points are then used in phase two.
Phase Two is comprised of a Plants vs Zombies style game, you use the money earned in the first phase to buy towers to defend the restaurant. Take a look at that bar on the top of the screen, thats the crab deck, with your growing points more shelled friends will be unlocked.
Keep in mind that you must pay attention to both screens while playing as neither will pause while you look away. Have fun and good luck.
Controls:
A = Move to Restaurant
D = Move to Battleground
Leftclick = Interact with Items and Crabs
Mouse movement on both screens.
(if you grab the wrong item while cooking you can left click in empty air to clear your hand)

The graphics were also a little hard to read at first, as all the cucumbers visually blended into each other. It would have been helpful if they had clearer color distinctions to make things easier to understand.
Overall, the game has a lot of potential, but a few tweaks could improve the clarity and playability of the game!
...also the crabs were a teensy bit larger than tiny LOL
