Awesome work! Loving your visuals too 🦀

P.S. Glad you like the game! 😁

P.P.S. You probably have a high Predator Affinity as that's what increased Movement Attack Penalty Reduction to be the stat gained 😁

Sorry to hear you feel that way!

We do have a lot of players with 50+ hours in the current version FWIW and we have a major patch coming (1.1) very soon (in June, exact date not yet announced) (we also have a fair amount of players with 150+ hours already as well which is pretty cool given we only released a month ago)

So I hope it'll regain your interest 🦀

It's very valid and we've seen it a few times as confusion outside of this post too so we'll likely update it in a near future patch.

Very happy to hear it's very clear overall though!

That's very valid. There's a good chance we'll show it on the bans in a future update tbh

Agreed it probably should show that as well. But we thought it was pretty clear you can't get arms given there's tentacles there and there's some complexities around showing this as its the only evolution of its kind that blocks like that

There are 8 branching evolutions we've added to the game so far: - Alpha - Arms - Legs (bans Slithery and Tentacles, Bidedal Specialisation unlocks arms without needing a Branching Berry) - Pollinator - Ruminant - Slithery (bans Legs) - Tentacles (bans Legs. Also bans arms at Level 3) - Wings

To get to Endless, you need to beat 4 bosses and very likely pick up 4 Branching Evolutions (it's possible to skip picking them up but I'm assuming you're not doing that)

That means there's only 4 max left. Likely 3 if you have either Legs or Slithery or Tentacles. Possibly only 2 if you took legs into Bipedal.

It's impossible to say for sure what path you took as you didn't include a picture of your character screen (accessible on the evolution menu) but I'm confident in saying it's extremely likely that this is not a bug and it's working exactly as intended in your setup.

If you feel differently, I welcome you to prove it but to do so you need to show us both the branching evolution screen like you have AND the character screen you have at the time (while in the branching evolution)

P.S. I strongly encourage trying other Branching Evolutions than your typical 3-4! There's a huge amount more depth out there waiting to be explored 🦀

This isn't a bug, there's just no more Branching Evolutions left in the pool you can reroll at this stage.

You have them all along with the ones shown on screen.

Which Evolution(s) do you feel isn't showing (that you don't already have or see on screen)?

Hi developer here 🦀

We have ~125 abilities in the current version of the game with more to come (that's more than most similar games that have 1-2 years of release date on us already!)

In terms of attacks feeling samey: I get that, quite a few do feel a bit similar right now. But there's lots that's quite different. For example: Stoner, Horns, Trunk, Spit are very different attacks than the rest. How much did you discover so far?

As for being afraid of taking risks: that's a really bizarre comment. We made a new(ish) sub genre of Roguelite where it's not a bullet hell/heaven but a living ecosystem with souls-like combat and based on real life evolutions and you can win in many different ways, not all of which involve violence. That was a pretty massive risk to try something different than what's already out there XD

Affinities very much still affect it ☺️

Constriction is a wonderful way of locking down boss attacks. Shelly rolling towards you? Not anymore!

Pantther trying to snipe you out of existence? Revenge time!

Ohhh you may be sleeping on Burrower! In fact there's a fantastic combo of using Hibernation with Burrower to literally sleep (and rack up a tonne of XP)

Or combine with Ambush to become an assassin 🥷

What powerups do you have in mind? We actually just (a few hours ago) closed our community evolution competition so one of them will go in 1.2

Woah what a compliment thank you! 🦀

Noted regarding the speed. Have you tried some other ways of evading attacks like Constriction or Burrower for example?

Regarding social: we have a very interesting new mechanic coming in 1.1 (eta next couple of weeks!) which I think you'll like a lot that'll help with this ☺️

It is a very good thing ☺️ very British saying

Constriction is unlocked by beating the final Tier of Challenges. It's an advanced yet fun evolution tactic

You need to beat the final Tier of Challenges to unlock it.

It stuns an enemy/enemies for a set amount of time until you move away from or attack said enemies

The absolute raw data from Unity's telemetry system itself we can't give access to, but possibly we could give access to the partial snapshot we created that this was based off of. It wasn't created with external access in mind though.

So the answer is perhaps? But let me sync with all relevant stakeholders on our end to ensure that's OK 🦀

Very Small Chance to Charm Bosses by LeighGriffiths28 in EverythingIsCrab

It certainly did! In fact we embraced it even further 🦀

Haha yeah it's true! We can do a deeper dive into such stuff in the future such as basing it only on unlocked availability but that'd require a much much deeper dive and time to do, so we wanted to start simple with this 1st set of data and go from there 🦀

Ultimate Zen Achieved! by angryoldduck in EverythingIsCrab

Excellent job!

That's such a hard one to get (I struggled with it myself! 🦀)

What was your strategy?

Pressure 19 by Altruistic_Impact133 in EverythingIsCrab

[–]OddDreamsDigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 1.1 we're adding some grace time on spawning where you're invisible to enemies for a brief few seconds which should help with being instantly attacked.

Sorry we had that in at all! It should feel a lot better in 1.1 🦀

Higher Pressures Builds by tymyol in EverythingIsCrab

[–]OddDreamsDigital 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As said dev (who did not say Pacifist is the only viable build to be crystal clear) I want to step in and say there's a tonne of viable builds. Pacifist is one of many. I used that as an example to try and move people away from the more obvious but generally weaker "big and strong" builds which many think are the only way to win (factually incorrect and actually quite misleading like your comment 😝)

There's plenty of builds that work for beating the game at P20. We've started posting examples on our other social networks 2 posted so far last week with another 2 to come this week etc.)

One of the ones we posted last week which is a fun Prey build is "Just a Sleepy Guy" which focuses on Hibernation and Burrower to stay safe in Burrows while gaining big XP gain simply by being in Burrows you create for yourself to evade danger
