About

Open Lobster

Features
Read full description

A tiny lobster is chained to the seafloor. Your job: feed it. Open Lobster is a pixel-art arcade reflex game built around one simple mechanic - things fall from above, and you swipe to handle each one correctly before it hits the ground. SWIPE DOWN - eat the food SWIPE RIGHT - net the garbage SWIPE LEFT - deflect the bomb Miss the right swipe, and you pay. Eat enough food and the lobster breaks free. Move too slow, and chaos follows. TWO MODES ESCAPE MODE Eat 30 pieces of food to shatter the chain. The lobster grows with every meal - watch it balloon to fill the screen as you close in on freedom. The faster you finish, the better your personal best. SURVIVAL MODE No finish line. No escape. Just eat as much as you can before a bomb ends it all. Objects fall faster and spawn more often as your score climbs. How far can you go?
