### 5/5 — Great but no mouth

*2026-08-15, version 1.18*

I think that anyone who likes crabs should play this game every day, but there’s only one thing that just barely bugs me is the fact that they don’t have an eating animation with a moving mouth an I think that would be awesome but still 5 stars. Another thing that I forgot too mention is I don’t really like how there’s a limit to how many times you can use the fishing rod and it takes awhile to get actual crabs when fishing but then again it’s still great.

### 5/5 — Honestly the cutest and best game ever!!!

*2026-08-10, version 1.18*

So I’ve been playing this for about 2 hours and I already have 6 crabs and they are so cute!! Please go play this Support them let’s make this the game of the year!!!

### 5/5 — 감사합네다

*2026-07-11*

저가 키우던 블랙아이 크랩 이라는 게가 있었는데 얼마전에 용궁에 떠났어요ㅠㅠ근데 이 게임에 게가 있어서 해봤는데 마음속 빈자리가 채워지는거같네요ㅠ감사합니다

### 4/5 — ❤️❤️❤️

*2026-07-08*

It’s so good but I don’t think think that you should have to wait for 2 hours before you can fish again when you’re rod breaks.

### 5/5 — カニだけ魚無しの釣りゲーム

*2026-06-09*

カニを釣って、そのカニで数種類のミニゲームができます。
神経衰弱/タイミングジャンプ/ピッキングetc...
釣りやミニゲームで集めたコインで着せ替えができてとてもとてもかわいいです。
カニの歩き方が、縦に歩くので横歩きしか出来なかったらもっとかわいいです。
戦闘するゲームに疲れたらカニと遊びに来てます。
着せ替えが欲しいので、日本でも他のゲームをリリースして欲しいです。
楽しみにしています。

### 5/5 — Super cute!

*2026-05-31, version 1.18*

I haven’t played for long, but so far I love everything about this game.

### 5/5 — My childhood favourite game

*2026-05-31*

I used to play this game all the time when I was young and I would always love every crab u get because they are so cute so keep up so keep up the good work and I’m glad I found this game again

### 1/5 — Repetitive. Slow.

*2026-05-09, version 1.18*

There is no way to advance in this game without paying money.  The rules say you can watch videos to earn gems, but they are available, so you have to pay, because you never earn the opportunity to get enough to advance.  Total waste.
