About the developer and future plans

This game is developed by a single developer (Denys Almaral) using Unreal Engine 4 (Yes, without shiny 3D graphcis and lens flares ;) )

There is a mobile version already published on Google Play, but  (I have removed the app from google play because of new policies incompatibilities with old versions of Unreal) I'm by soul a PC Gamer, and I wish I could focus on a PC version with more rich content and features. Even the first version was targeting android, 2D platformers games are always better for playing on PC, I enjoy myself much more playing Crabby Ball on desktop with keyboard or controller.

I'll appreciate a lot your sincere comments to know if you would like to play a game like this on your desktop PC and what additional features would you like to see.

UPDATE: As the game relay on physics was a dead end using UE4 since there the physics are not reliable , that's why the project is on hold until better solution or porting to a different engine, maybe one with Box2D physics underneath. 

This are some of the plans for the PC version:
- Additional game modes: Local Co-op and local Multiplayer.
- Tons of new levels with interesting mechanics.
- Improved graphics environment.
- In-game Level editor.

Hope you like this game as much as I have fun making it!

Kind regards,
