Remember when you were a kid at the beach and tried to build a sand castle as the tide came in? Welcome to Crabs and Castles.

Essentially you dig and fill in squares to build a sand castle to protect your flag. Meanwhile waves roll in, which will disrupt your construction and ultimately carry the flag out to sea.

Use the shovel to dig up sand, and use the bucket to dump it back on the ground. BUT WATCH OUT! When a crab comes out, click it till it goes away!

Controls:
Space Bar = Toggle between shovel and bucket
Left Click = Action (Dig/Dump/Hit)

Although the game play is time consuming and simple, it seems much too, well I suppose the words im looking for is that its not exactly player friendly
For one, the base placement is a bit random, and will sometimes be so close to the water that you don't have enough time to replace sand under it and build up sand around your base
Another reason is that some crabs are somewhat easy to kill, while one specific one is nearly impossible to kill and destroys your castles within moments of reaching them
WIth note of the crabs, whenever one spawns you are forced to try and kill it and could die at any moment from the water, making it more of an annoyance to fight rather than a challenge
One final reason, involving the water once more, your base dies when the water reaches it, and looks as if falling, if this is the case, then it doesn't seem very practical as its more of a easy way to die

Good concept, but that's all :(

This game is a time killer! I play this while i download/loading other things

It really is a good concept, but the water drag system was just a little too random for me. I'd suggest fine-tuning that and maybe making a way to actually stop it once is gets so high. I like where this game is going.

Fun game! I like the wave action and the overall concept. I just need to work on my crab smashing skills!
