I have had great fun playing with friends and family, but now I can’t ever play again unless you update it. I hope that you have enough time to dedicate to this project. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2017-06-16, version 1.0.10* THIS GAME IS AWESOOOOOOOOME ### 5/5 — I love this game *2017-03-15, version 1.0.10* It's just so fun because you control a giant monster in space!and that it's awesome so thank you for this game ### 4/5 — A great game, but one problem *2016-12-24, version 1.0.10* Everything is fine except, my crab turns white and a barcode below his mouth appears ### 5/5 — I NEED MORE STUFF TO DO ON HERE *2016-05-25, version 1.0.10* Hi! I'm writing a review, and I usually don't do that, but this is an exception. I really love this game, and have fully upgraded my crab, and I want more. I restarted it on my new iPad after, well, that. I feel like this review is going no where, but I just want more stuff! The game lost its edge after I fully upgraded it, because I knew I wasn't getting anywhere after that. If there were more and different upgrades added, and some other things, I would greatly appreciate it. I'd love to have different crabs with varying abilities, and mor upgrades to the crab. You would upgrade each crab individually, and each crab would be better and harder to get than the last. Give them interesting and funny names and "personalities." You could add things like magnetic claws and more powerful claw upgrades, and have unique upgrades for different crabs. I see so much more potential for a massively amazing game, and it's just sitting there gathering dust! Also, I think you should be able to switch out your hand for a blaster or something. ### 5/5 — It's good but... *2016-03-13, version 1.0.10* When I brought a second spiky claw the crab was white and had a barcod☹️☹️ ### 4/5 — Awesome game *2015-12-30, version 1.0.10* It's a funny and cool game but the music doesn't work and my crab is all messed up ### 5/5 — I agree with this guy, and it's the best game ever. *2015-06-29, version 1.0.10* /\ | | This guy thinks we have four hands, but I'm going to let that be. This game really does need some upgrades like a magnetic claw, or a an Aimee when you have a bullet in your claw it has a little aimer. It does need some more bosses too., and that's pretty much it. ### 5/5 — Needs cool updates! *2015-06-21, version 1.0.10* -smoother gameplay -4 hands (cost 3000 coins) -hats -new boss (air fortress 2000) ### 4/5 — Great game but... *2015-03-07, version 1.0.10* I totally agree that this is a fantastic game to waste time or for something to do but my problem is when I start up crabitron the crab is white and has a barcode on him but beside that the game works fine just if the debs could fix it please I'll really like that because a giant white crab with a barcode doesn't look very good ### 4/5 — Rating for crabitron *2015-01-21, version 1.0.10* Great game, interesting concept, but a few quirks can ruin the gameplay occasionally. The controls can be hard to use, opening and closing the claws can be troublesome. The main issue I had though was getting your game to pickup all four fingers, without confusing the claws. Also, because I was using four fingers, multitasking view would pop up, so I had to turn that gesture off in settings. Another item that would have been really nice is to show the health of the crab during gameplay. We got clues from the way the crab looked, but a bar would provide a clear cut way of knowing how our crab was. Thank you very much, from a developer I can see how much work went into this, a few things just need to be sorted out. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Full of creativity, humor, and heart *2015-01-16, version 1.0.10* Wow. This game can only happen on the iPad. There are so many enemy types, from 5th element type hover cars, police, to aliens. The physics are ever so satisfying when you crush a ship in your claws. The graphics are full retina and the artistic style is cute. It's not pay to win which is how all apps used to be. Worth the $3. I hope they make other games of this caliber. ### 5/5 — Fun fun fun *2014-12-29, version 1.0.10* Great game, have been playing on and off for about a year now. I have yet to experience any bugs. It is as challenging as it is fun. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How do I get a refund? *2019-12-29, version 1.0.19* Does not work with ios 9.3.
