What is Everything is Crab?

A roguelite where you play Darwin, a blue blob dropped into a living ecosystem, who has to eat without being eaten. Each run you level up by feeding on fruit, fungi or other creatures and pick evolutions (legs, claws, wings, fur, eyes and more) to build a new creature, trying not to end up as a crab like everything else.

Nintendo counts more than 140 evolutions and specialisations. You can play as a hunter, a scavenger or a peaceful plant eater, charm other animals into fighting for you, and take on bosses across rain-soaked greenery, deserts and frozen tundra. It's the first game from Odd Dreams Digital.
