Crablike (alpha)

You can only move sideways because you're a crab. Get fish to score points. Try to figure everything else out. If that isn't fun, read the guide below.

-----CONTROLS-----
WASD - Move
J/Space - Dig

-----GUIDE-----
The controls are wacky. 

The crab is facing up here. W moves it left (towards its red claw). S moves it right (towards its blue claw).

A turns the crab counterclockwise. D turns it clockwise.

Combine moving sideways and turning to move in all four directions.

The goal of the game is to score points. Anemones spawn at a fixed interval. They attract fish but shoot projectiles. Getting near an anemone will cause it to stop shooting.

Collect fish by walking over them. Remove anemones by digging (J/Space) while you're standing on top of them. Collecting fish yields more points than digging up anemones immediately.

You automatically block projectiles coming from the direction you're facing, unless you're digging. Collecting fish in an unbroken chain increases the value of each successive one. A combo of 3 or more pays out the value of the entire chain again when it ends.

Having lots of fish around will make rays more likely to spawn. They're worth 100 points if you dig them up in time. If you don't, they'll eat your fish and hurt you if you get in their way.

Digging up the trash that falls to the ocean floor will spawn useful powerup items. Every third piece of trash you pick up clears your hand. Two of a kind gets you one of the corresponding powerup, three of a kind gets you two. Remember, you're vulnerable while you dig!

Purple -> Shield
Green -> Ghost
Yellow -> Time Stop
Red -> Score Multiplier (can stack)
Blue -> Wildcard (no matter what, each pair of blue dice in your hand will spawn one random powerup)
