• King Crab – Trench System & Performance Improvements Patch - 18 May 2026

  King Crab has received another major update focused on performance, stability, and water behavior improvements. This patch includes significant work on the wave and trench systems. Water now dissipates and drains more naturally through trenches, improving both gameplay strategy and overall fluid stability during larger wave events. Other improvements include: * Performance optimizations across multiple levels * Reduced water simulation instability and bubbling issues * Improved trench and wall interaction behavior * Better wave flow and shoreline behavior * General bug fixes and polish A huge amount of work has gone into improving the overall experience since launch, and I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to play, leave feedback, and report issues. If you've already played the game, it's worth checking out the latest build. Thanks again for the support.
