Pls no Snippy

Pls no Snippy is a two-player crab-based competitive fighting game where two crabs duke it out for dominance on their stretch of beach, using very unique controls. The goal of the game is to snip both eye-stalks off the other crab.

It was originally created at Snowed In Studios during a game jam, for use on the company arcade machine. Now with gamepad support!

Gamepad Controls

This game requires two gamepads, one for each crab.

Movement is controlled by pushing both joysticks up and down in different combinations

• Move forward - push both joysticks forwards at the same time
• Move back - push both joysticks backwards at the same time
• Move side to side (crab style) - push both joysticks in opposite directions up and down, then alternate them back and forth. The direction you start with will determine which way you go.

Claws are controlled by pushing both joysticks left and right in different combinations to put them in either open or blocking positions

• Both open - push both joysticks outwards away from the middle of the gamepad.
• Both blocking - push both joysticks inwards towards the middle of the gamepad.
• One blocking - push both joysticks either left or right to leave that side open and block with the other side.
• Attack! - simultaneously press in the stick and trigger of either left or right side to attack with that claw. The claw must be open (not blocking) to attack.
