Mr. Crab 2 is a rare sequel that keeps the soul of the original while polishing every single edge. The 'spiral' level design is still the star of the show—it’s such a clever way to handle a platformer on a phone. The one-tap controls are deceptively simple; you’ll find yourself carefully timing jumps to save every last baby crab and nab those hard-to-reach stars.
The visual jump from the first game is huge. The worlds are vibrant, the bosses are genuinely funny, and the customization options for your crab add a nice layer of personality. It strikes that perfect balance where my kids can enjoy the colors and simple jumping, but I can get obsessed with the 3-star mastery of the later, more vertical levels.
Unique 3D vertical platforming
Intuitive one-tap controls
Massive boss encounters
Extensive character customization
Beautifully rendered environments
Tap the screen to jump. Mr. Crab moves automatically along the path. Time your jumps to hop between platforms and avoid enemies. Your main goal is to reach the summit and rescue the baby crabs along the way.
Explore every nook of the 360-degree levels. Some baby crabs are hidden behind obstacles. Collecting all babies and stars in a level is the key to unlocking new worlds and customization items.
The primary goal is to reach the top of each level while rescuing as many baby crabs as possible.
At first, this game was great. By great I mean, the best game I had. The levels are fun and challenging, the baby crabs are ADORABLE, and the different selection of crabs is great. The different levels are also great, with backgrounds like a jungle, driftwood, and the beach. The only problem I have with this game is that after a while, the game stopped giving me new levels, same as the vending machine. The only things that the vending machine would give me would be baby crabs and clothes for the adult crabs 🦀. This makes me rlly upset. I still love the game, though, and if this was an option I would give it a 4.5. - mochi girl 🍡 ✿
This is worse then Mr. Crab 1. I was so disappointed in Mr. Crab 2 when I got in. It had some nice new features like now you can get a whole lot of different crabs for free. Another is they named the babies which I really liked. Lastly, you got hats much easier. What I don’t like is that the babies look different from you now which I don’t really like. Next is that there is way to many stuff now. Like when you play through a level there is so much different stuff like this wheel that you spin around on that I don’t like. Another thing is they made the monsters less harmful. In Mr. Crab 1 the monsters would make you go down a platform but in Mr. Crab 2 you just get pushed back a bit. Another thing is that you have to pay for levels. You can watch an ad to get them but I hate ads. So disappointed please make it better.
I got both of the Mr. Crab games to see how they were and I saw a big difference. Mr. Crab one has a nice minimalist, clean look. Instructions on how to play are simple and easy to understand. No matter if it's the beach or the woods themed one. The boss levels are a little challenging and fun, letting you think. I say it's nice for kids and older! But Mr. Crab 2 is definitely not worth even getting. The game quality and design looks like it got even worse from the first game. And when it came to playing, I couldn't even see the baby crabs I had to rescue because of all the freaking "jungle" mess in the level. It felt like I had no control over where the crab was going, it seemed like it was moving itself. While free games like these spam you with ads, and promotions to but the rest of the game. I highly recommend to put your money into more Mr. Crab 1 levels then ever get Mr. Crab 2.
My friend showed me this game and I loved it. It was very fun to play and just overall a good game. I got pretty good and unlocked a lot of levels. But once I got to the Tuscany level the game got unnecessarily hard to play. Getting the baby crabs was nearly impossible. Even just trying to pass the level got frustrating. Very upsetting. Playing this game with my friend was a lot of fun because we could work together to pass each level. At first I had a goal to collect ALL of the baby crabs no matter what. But that was easier said than done. Now I’m considering deleting this game. Not fun anymore, and having to watch ads before every level is a little too much. I don’t really recommend.
Please get this app I had this app for 3 years and it is still working it is the best game with crabs trust me there are new levels in different months like in October there is a Halloween typed thyme and it will spook the heck out of you! There is just one problem I got all the baby crabs, but I didn’t get all the adult crabs. I also have been using my coins to try and get more baby crabs if I didn’t get all of them and the game was just lagging, but I DIDN’T GET ANY BABY CRABS after about 100 tries. Please fix this.
You have to be kidding me! This is unfair! I worked so hard trying to get all the baby crabs and I finally got the skully babycrabs , but you still have to pay for Skully! Why! It’s not being paid for your work, it’s paying to do your work! Absolutely unfair! The only reason I give this 3 stars is because 1.) the baby crabs are cute, and 2.) the update is great. I went farther than I ever have in this game because of the new levels. Please let the baby crabs for Skully and Lolly be the ones to unlock them, not money. Also my sound doesn’t work for this game. I don’t know why. Please fix this! P.S the graphics are great, and I like the vending machine idea. This app is better than mr. Crab 1
First off, you have to watch an add for EVERY level after the first few worlds. Even if you’ve already completed that level. Then you have to watch more ads so you can get the rest of the levels from a vending machine. Second, I actually collected every last baby crab, yet the last two were still locked, even after I got all the baby crabs for them. Apparently you have to spend 4 dollars to get them both. Even though they’re just skins and don’t have any special abillities. The game is fun, yet the developers got greedy. Spend your money wisely when playing this game
Ok so I love the game and the baby crabs and the whole game and stuff but I’m on the vending machine level 1 and whenever I don’t have enough stars to buy a level I just click the ad button instead but when I watch the add and when I’m done watching it, it sometimes doesnt give me anything and so I have to watch the add all over again but other then that this is probably my favorite game right now









It sort of goes without saying that we're massive fans of Illusion Labs around these parts, and while we're still anxiously awaiting a Sway...
