Description

Swinging Crab is a 2d platformer game with 6 exciting levels (and a tutorial level) to speedrun. You're a crab with the goal to reach the end of every level as fast as possible. The game was made for VimJam5 with the focus on "Racing", the semi-optinal theme "Escape" and the diversifiers "4 color palette" and "animal characters".

Development

Development time: 30h

I worked solo on  the game from Tuesday - Sunday in my freetime.

All Assets (-> sprites, sound effects, music, UI, ...) except the font were made by me.

Font I used: Tripfive

If you want to use my sprites and music you can download the spritesheet and the soundtracks and use them in your project under the CC0 license.
