"Contextualize in Aghrrr"
148X - On a stormy night at sea, Boris, a half-hearted pirate, lies drowsy in his bunk, plagued by a sharp stomachache. As he writhes in discomfort, he tumbles across the floor of his cabin, tormented by hallucinations brought on by malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, and the relentless rocking of the ship. In his delirium, Boris faces a terrifying vision. Now, he must fight for his life and find a way to escape this nightmare… or perish.
Crabs and Rats is a 2D platformer with a Pixel Art and Cartoon style, set in a chaotic pirate world. Inspired by the vertical slider format, the game challenges players to dodge obstacles, avoid deadly traps, and escape from white rats and massive green crabs, all while trying not to fall into the abyss.
Designed for two-player local co-op, the game puts your reflexes and coordination to the test as you navigate through collapsing wooden platforms, fast-paced levels, and unpredictable hazards.

Crabs and Rats 1.1 Enero 16 2025
Los dulces del evento de Jack O Crabber ahora si hacen daño. Corregido un bug en el que Bora podía farmear puntuación infinita estando AFK. Corregido un bug en el que Bora podía saltar infinitamente sin restricciones. Los loros han recibido una mejora a su IA y ahora escalan correctamente a continuación expongo los niveles de los loros y sus requisitos: Nivel 1, activa cañones y recoge comida ( Nivel de entrada sin requisitos). Nivel 2, Bloquea proyectiles ( 30 comidas necesarias apartir de nivel 1 ). Nivel 3, Cada 10 de comida escupe haciéndole daño al cangrejo, cada vez que se active esta habilidad hará más daño, El daño maximo de esta habilidad Es 1 fase entera del cangrejo al que te enfrentes es decir ⅓ de la vida total de dicho cangrejo. ( 60 comidas necesarias para llegar a este nivel ). Ahora puedes bajarte de una plataforma al darle hacia abajo y al salto al mismo tiempo. El tutorial ahora funciona de mejor manera para que no te saltes los mensajes sin querer. En el menu de pausa ahora puedes cambiar el idioma de Ingles a Español y de Español a Ingles marcando una checkbox. En el menu de pausa ahora puedes salirte del juego, esto para que tengas la posibilidad de salir sin regresar al menú principal. Se modifico el lugar en el que apareces en el modo CO OP por que en algunos cangrejos a veces podías morir al principio por accidente muy fácilmente.Read full article on Community Announcements (Press For Coffee)Patch NotesOfficial
