CrabbleUp is a laid-back, retro-inspired roguelite.
You are a small hermit crab, and you embark on a journey to explore the depth of the seas. Level-up to strengthen your existing abilities, and learn new ones! The skill tree is hidden, the levels are procedurally generated, each playthrough is unique, and enemies hit hard! Can you beat all the bosses, and live to tell the tale?
View
The view is isometric 2.5D using hand-drawn graphics. You navigate a maze in tiled levels with lots of details, designed for full-screen mode. Although you can switch to smaller resolutions if you want a windowed experience. Multi-monitor setups are also supported.
There are multiple camera modes to fit your preference, each keeping all players in the screen at any time.
Unique playthroughs
You can play solo, or together with someone else. Solo sessions are independent from co-op ones, so you don't have to worry about starting a new session just yourself when your partner isn't available. Each session is random generated, and different from previous ones!
You can use a keyboard, or game controllers to navigate the menus and play the game. The only place where a keyboard is required is when creating Profiles with custom names. The default name will be your Steam profile name, if you want to skip the keyboard completely.
Your shell can be customized from many options, and there will be more to come in following updates.
Challenges
You will meet many different enemies, who require observing their movements, and approaching them carefully. However, not everything moving is there to hurt you! There are also entities to heal, and entities to passively obstruct your way. Each chapter features its own unique boss at the end, which will really test your skills, and maneuvering finesse!
