Blip&Dig

Great visuals! I really liked searching for coins, digging the up and upgrading my crab army! Really satisfying!

Long live the Crab Army！

I knew I was in trouble when I clicked a cluster of X's the first time and a whole group of shovels came out. Very satisfying. Great work, you nailed that loop! Very addictive.

It was a great game, and I became the king of crabs and a millionaire.

My computer was dying after launching this game

My laptop started STEAMING after i spawned so many crabs, hahaha. The game is fun, art is very viby and cool. Music is a bit to loud by default, but it is not a problem. Gameplay is addictive, haha.

AND VERY IMPORTANT. CRABS. ARE. FREAKIN. CUTE!!!!!!!!!

@teaminister thank you, your comment is very inspiring :D

A little sleep definitely wouldn't hurt our artist.

great job !

Cool crabs!

@artemget I'm possessed by crabs

Friendly crabs and a very satisfying game!

I noticed that it's much faster and more practical to drag the mouse across the screen instead of searching for the exact location of the signal, which somewhat defeats the purpose of using the detector or signals.
But, it's great to see the crabs working for you.

Good Game!

@eden-zorro Thanks for your feedback! Try spinning the metal detector around an army of upgraded crabs - this was intentional, despite it making the early game experience weird.

Also, I could rebalance exactly this part of the game because it sounds reasonable. If ludum rules allows me to do that...

i've consumed all matter on this beach in every universe.

love the cute crab sprites, easy going music and the radar detector mechanic.

easy going game thats fun to max out. glad to see a fellow crab lover in the jam

We need more crabs! Great game!

I definitely overdid it.

I had a lot of fun beating this! The crabs are adorable!

Theres lots of room to keep going with this and I hope you do. I would recommend getting a free build onto itch (or whichever shopfront you choose) and also putting it on IncrementalDB to generate some traffic (it will probably end up on there eventually anyways)

The metal detector sometimes feels like it doesnt hit everything im dragging it over, I really want to be able to go mad and wiggle it crazily on the beach.

Would love to see more content, such as prestiges, the beach zooming out, or any other fun mechanics you have cooking. Maybe you could involve the ocean in some way?

It feels very satisfiying if you dig up multiple coins at once.

@pentagrammal I'm really glad you actually played through our entire game! That's the best compliment we could ask for.

@hjmw Thanks for the feedback!

We originally planned to add prestiges, artifacts, and even a slot machine (with tickets from the floating bottles), but after assessing our capacity, we decided to focus on polishing the game instead.

As for the metal detector - initially, the idea was for players to search for treasure more thoughtfully (as discussed in the comments above), but then I realized it's actually more fun when the search happens faster. I ended up settling on a middle ground - the metal detector has a slight delay (literally 0.05s) before registering a treasure when you hover over it.

We'll think about further game developing and publishing it on itch(or any other platform).

Hooray, crab!

Damn, people are going nuts with their high scores. I love idle games. I can spend so much time on those. Good job!

Edit: New High score, easy!! Come and beat me

The gameplay was compelling, the music was a vibe, the crabs were adorable. Really what else can you ask for? A+

I clicked on the game because I thought the art style was similar to Stardew Valley, and I didn’t expect to be unable to stop playing! Who can resist digging for treasure with a crab army?

great game and great art!!

@blues @pentagrammal @hjmw @ydindamin @hmeo @haoxuan Guys thank you so much for such nice reviews, I started drawing like 3 months ago and couldn’t expect such simple art would make so many people happy ♥️

Automation-based incremental, what's not to love?))) Adding some roguelike mechanics would be the cherry on top)

Lovely visuals and sounds

That dopamine face you make when the billions start rolling in:

A cute and sad game. I made the crabs work...

The volume settings are missing, but the game is ready :)

The game has nice art. The crabs are funny.
I didn't feel like I was getting something valuable.
The metal detector's sound was missing. I understand why you didn't add it, as it would have become boring for the player over time, as the mining process is fast.
It would also be nice to have sound settings. The sound was very loud at the beginning.
It might be interesting to focus on leveling up the crabs and adding new species.
Thank you for the game!

Soo good game! If my keyboard wouldn't have died I would still continued playing as it was very addicting, in a good way :D good music and chill vibes with all the crabs. Really enjoyed the game loop, visuals and sound. Great game for this jam!

Very cute. Pretty simple gameplay, but that sort of thing is fine for a 3-day game jam imo.

Just wow! Like Gamblers Table, but all about hunting coins together with cute crabs! 🦀

The game gets addictive super fast—adding crabs was such a great call!
Only thing: the balance. Prices or upgrading coin value are just astronomical—I couldn't unlock a single upgrade in 15 minutes of play.

Huge thanks for the game! Wishing you all the best in polishing it further—the idea is totally worth it! 🚀

good polished little incremental game. good work!

A great little game. Toward the end, it started to feel like those speedy crabs were about to go digging for gold bars in my stomach if I didn’t quickly show them where to dig.

Cool chill game and nice visual. Good job!

Great work for a Jam! The art is fantastic, I read somewhere that he started with pixel art three months ago, so his future is very promising xD It's really fun to watch an army of crabs working jajaja! Well done!

@bambutcher @pacelin @tryam @barbapapa @squimmy @dwang @sound-steppe @catanus @irkar @emaigualmc2-art thank you guys for nice reviews, we really appreciate it!!

Incredible level of polish for 3 days! Really cute art style. Super addictive game loop and effects. I maxed everything out

Cool game

Very addictive idle game with a nice setting! The crabs are cute

I think I can stop for now 😅. It was funny that at first I would lay down dozens of "X"s and had to dig them myself because they didn't dig them for me fast enough, but by the end even when I tried spreading them across the beach they were sooo fast, most of them didn't even need to move to clean them up.

The game itself has such a nice vibe, honestly, and the little crabs are actually so cute! I love pixel art games, and the visuals here are really nice, the art just hits.
