Save your sandcastle! Hordes of crabs are scuttling up the beach, and all that stands in their way is a cowboy with a beach towel. FLICK, SWEEP, SWING AND SPIN • Tap to snap a crab away • Swipe to sweep a whole line of them • Drag back and swing to crack the towel like a whip • Draw a circle to spin and clear a crowd • Hold and release for a power snap A TIDE THAT NEVER STOPS Defend Sunny Bay, Rocky Point and Night Tide, then do it again as the tide comes back tougher every time. Face wet sand, shell crabs, jumpy crabs, pop-up crabs, hermit crabs that hide in their shells, twin crabs that split in two, ghost crabs that fade in the moonlight, and crowned king crabs that only a spin or power snap can stop. WIN PRIZES, BUILD YOUR DEFENCES Clear a round and a battered king crab limps up to hand over your prize. Place jandals, sun loungers, kayaks, campfires and more on the sand to hold the crabs back, and win golden prizes on every return to the beach. MASTER YOUR TOWEL Chain different tricks for combos and land three in a row to power up the golden towel.
