CrabbleUp
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
IMPORTANT: This game is still in development!
CrabbleUp is a laid-back, retro-inspired roguelite.
You are a small hermit crab, and you embark on a journey to explore the depth of the seas. Level-up to strengthen your existing abilities, and learn new ones! The skill tree is hidden, the levels are procedurally generated, each playthrough is unique, and enemies hit hard! Can you beat all the bosses, and live to tell the tale?
Demo
The Demo is a modified version of the first chapter of the full game, with more content and more challenges than usual. The pacing was increased to give you a better view on what can you expect from the full game, but in a limited time. If you find it too hard, don't worry, the full game lets you learn the skills and tricks in a more relaxed manner.

Hey Pietro!
You are right, I am planning to make my game available in many languages. I already have a list of languages planned, but Italian wasn’t on it due to the lack of a trustworthy translator. I sent you a friend request on Discord (based on your other comments I know your username there), we can continue the discussion on Discord about this translation. :)
