Your hermit crab doesn’t have to be alone anymore.
This update adds multi-crab support. More shells to swap, more tiny adventures, more crab energy. I rebuilt the core systems to give your crabs some company. Take care of multiple hermit crabs in this new update.
This is a foundation update that sets the game up for much bigger growth. Before this update, all gameplay was limited to a single crab. Multi-crab support opens the game up to more possibilities and a better overall experience. Now that this update is out, you can expect more regular content updates and continued refinement of current features.
Plans for the future include
Improved building mechanics
Backyard adventure quests
More types of shells
More intricate tank designs and more options overall
Increased complexity in the crabs’ AI
Two more exploration levels
Crab diet effects
More training mechanics for your crab
Room customization and unlocks
More achievements
Inventory updates and new items
Afterlife options
Possible multiplayer aspects, like a park where you can hang out with other crabs
