Crab & Fish

66 votes

Because of certain films featuring large casts of aquatic creatures, I'm sure many of us have fantasized about living under the sea like those in Crab And Fish. Of course, the crab and fish in this game already have the luxury of being able to live safely underwater. However, it's not all songs and bubbles as humans have managed to trap various fish in cages. Crab managed to escape and would not let his fishy friends be taken away. By breaking through with his claws, he plans to reach all of the fish and break them out with sheer force.

About Crab And Fish

Some puzzle games use physics in a way that reminds you of when you used to stack blocks as a kid. This is one of them and it taps into that part of the brain that makes you want to knock down the blocks that you spent countless minutes stacking on top of each other, believing that you figured out the secret to perfect balance. It's okay though, since now you're breaking down these blocks for a good cause. The crab needs you to clear a path to the fish prisoners so that they can be busted free and have the chance to swim again.

How to Play

Crab And Fish is a 2D puzzle game that is played entirely with the mouse. You use the cursor to navigate the game screen and then use the Left Mouse Button to click and destroy different blocks. The crab will move based on positioning and physics, moving down as you destroy more blocks. The goal is to guide the crab to as many fish in cages as possible so that he can break them open.

The game is somewhat like reverse Tetris in which all the blocks have already been laid down, you just need to break them. The crab is contained in a hexagon block that will move and rotate as he falls. You can break blocks one at a time to help the crab descend the tower. When the crab makes contact with a fish cage, he will automatically break it open and the cage will be removed from the tower. If the crab falls off the sides of the tower at any point, you will have to restart.

The arrangement of the tower is randomized with blocks ranging from large and twisted to single squares. As they are removed, the crab's hexagon will respond to the space based on placement.

Tips and Tricks

You can take your time with this game and hope that the arrangement you get is in your favor. Ideally, you'll want to keep the crab going down the middle of the tower while leaving blocks on either side to prevent him from falling off. Be especially careful when approaching fish cages, because that can take out a chunk of the tower and send the crab falling.
