About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Set in a living ecosystem, 'Everything is Crab' is a cute, challenging, highly replayable action roguelite. Make animal inspired evolutionary choices to concoct your own unique creature every run, both mechanically and visually.

It's Spore meets Modern Roguelites

As everybody knows, eventually, every organism ends up evolving into a crab. Right?

Well, except for you. Choose your own evolutionary path and strategy to thrive and defeat convergent evolution. Take that, science!

Over 125 abilities combine to create a plethora of different builds and playstyles: Become a wily trickster, a ferocious predator, a gregarious leader, a nimble nomad, or take on any number of other survival strategies.

Legs! Claws! Pincers! Wings! More Legs! Fur! Tail! Scales! Tentacles! I SAID MORE LEGS!!! Build your formidable, visually awkward chimera or get Darwin'd in the process.
