Short description
Dig trenches, build walls, explore the beach, and defend your sandcastle from the rising tide - on PC or in VR.
About this game
King Crab is a physics-driven beach defense game where you reshape the sand to protect your crab’s castle from the ocean. Dig trenches, pile up walls, and redirect waves as they crash toward your defenses. Each round the water grows stronger, the storms get nastier, and your castle is pushed closer to washing away. Explore different beaches filled with unpredictable water, wildlife, hidden items, flooding houses, and ridiculous physics-driven chaos. Ride boats, surf the waves, throw objects around, dodge sharks, and deal with humans and animals trying to wreck your castle. Roam off the main path between waves to uncover tools and surprises that give you new ways to defend. What you discover might be the thing that saves your crab when the next storm rolls in. Play on PC or step inside the action in VR, both included for one price. Either way, every scoop of sand, every wall you build, and every desperate last-second trench could be the difference between saving the castle or watching it wash away. Features Reshape the beach by digging trenches and building sand walls Redirect waves, storms, and floodwater away from your crab’s castle Protect the crab across multiple beach levels with different layouts, music, and hazards Explore between waves to find hidden tools, items, and surprises Ride boats, surf, swim, and mess around with physics objects Encounter fish, sharks, squid, crabs, humans, and other beach chaos Play on PC or in VR with one purchase Face unpredictable waves where no round plays exactly the same
