The guide

Overview

Dive into the action-packed world of Crab Shooter, where you battle fierce aquatic foes using fast reflexes and precise aim. Navigate through challenging levels, unlock new stages, and outsmart relentless waves of enemies, from rival crabs to crafty humans, in this exhilarating top-down shooter.

What it's like to play

Bright colors, big buttons, and a cheerful noise when you get something right. That is the recipe for most children's games here, and it works. Sessions are short and happy. A child taps, something fun happens, and they tap again. The challenges grow very gently, so a stage that was tricky yesterday becomes easy today, which is exactly the point of the whole thing.

1Press Play and wait for the first prompt. The game will highlight or animate the thing to tap first.
2Tap, drag or swipe as the game shows. There are rarely more than one or two kinds of action.
3Listen for the happy sound or watch for stars, which confirm a correct move.
4When a stage finishes, tap the next arrow. Replaying a stage is fine and often fun.
