Crab Game (game)

Crab Game is a video game made by Dani using the Unity Engine and its particle system. It was released on Steam on October 29, 2021. Dani released the devlog video on October 29, 2021.

## Overview

Crab Game, is a first-person multiplayer game where the player tries to win money by participating in "children's games". The concept of Crab Game is directly inspired by the popular pop Korean TV show Squid Game, where the participants have to outcompete each other in challenges, while those who fail are killed. Some of the game modes that Dani included are similar to those seen in Bean Guys.

## Bugs

Crab Game public servers were once plagued by DDoS attacks, so Dani advised players to not play on public servers. This has since been fixed.

### The oval damage screen.

This is a bug that makes the screen full of red but the center, forming a small oval, this can happen when joining a lobby.

## Trivia

* This is Dani's third Steam game (second if you don't count Karlson (3D)'s demo version).

* The description says: *"Players fight each other using guns and melee weapons. There is blood and gore during fights, but pretty light hearted and cartoony."*

* \*There is no milk in this game, despite the description claiming that there is milk.Further more, other parts of the description are outdated or false, such as map and player count

* Even more, there is no Crab Game or dedicated game to the game's name, unlike Squid Game, which had an actual Squid Game

* There is an unused minigame in the Crab Game trailer called "Baseball", it is a team minigame where you have to push the other team out of bounds to win.

* Although Squid Game was released before Crab Game, Dani and his fans jokingly claim that Squid Game stole the concept of Crab Game.

* The bomb in bomb tag minigame resembles a Modèle 1847 grenade with a burning wick instead of a fuse.

* The money prize has a label saying "The United States of Muck", which states the possibility that Crab Game may take place in Muck, or the money comes from Muck.
