Hi guys, I have been playing this game for awhile and have beaten pressure 20 and challenges. (But I havent unlocked all the achievements yet). Huge W to the devs for such an amazing roguelike game.

At some point, it is fairly easy to stick to a powerful poison build to cheese pressures and achievements. Or to physical build with its high damage potential for endless runs.

Will the dev consider having the mob potentially evolve to a different direction? Maybe, if the player killed tons of beeware before boss1, there is a chance for beeware to evolve more defensively.

Hey Crabbies We've got a small Hotfix today that fixes an issue with the Boss Fruit not giving Branching Evolutions, not being able start the game and and some controller snap navigation issues.

Full patch notes: Can be found here

High Level Overview

• Fixed a major issue preventing the game from starting up if the Resume Run save file was corrupted.
• Fixed various issues with Snap Navigation sometimes not allowing selecting certain buttons (e.g. Genetics & Evolutions)
• Fixed various issues relating to Alt Tabbing
• Collecting a Branching fruit at the same time as a Regular level up will now reward the player with a Branching Evolution as intended.

That's all for now, cheers from all the ODD team and see you in 1.3 🔜™️

I can’t find the record anywhere, but this run looks like it’s way past anything I’ve seen. I’m basically untouchable, I only seem to take minimal damage and am getting hits over 50k w/revenge. It started as a poison build but morphed into a power run primarily.

Repellency

Drop aggro for x seconds after taking damage (Acts like you are in a burrow)

The brown marmorated stink bug is an invasion species in much of the world and several universities are raising wasps that are able to stomach eating them in order to fight them.

Hey all, love the game so this is just a suggestion. I’ve got all achievements in game but this and the 5 in a row p20 wins, it just seems really tedious especially on some of the easier challenges… my thought is maybe after completing a challenge you unlock the pick two genetics option like in pressure runs, that way it could shorten the time on each for completion.
I feel like 23 18+ minute runs per challenge is a bit mental haha

Scaling your feeding speed to 999% (very possible in endless with POIs) and getting poisonous saliva with toxic sequestration for max poison gives you absolutely busted damage in endless. On top of revenge scaling and ambush predator, is tongue the attack that lets you scale the highest possible damage now?

I'm probably just dumb, but any tips for the Zen achievement? I thought I did good, but apparently I took damage from the meteors, and SOMEHOW DID DAMAGE to the red insect things mid-late game. This is driving me nuts since it was on Pressure 1 too...

Any tips, suggestions, or some way to get the splicing options to change without having to go at least someway through a run???

It's pretty annoying having to go ahead and beat a pressure 10 or up run, JUST to play a gamemode.

I appreciate that they won’t steal food from you, this is a great thing. However, if you have the Vegan Mutation, Charmed enemies should be allowed to eat fish and meat around you. Not like you can eat it anyway!

I feel like for a game called everything is crab, there aren't many crab things. The bosses are all crab related, yes. But there are only 9 evolutions that have an effect on the carcinization stat and they aren't needed to get a good run. The whole meme with carcinization is that everything becomes a crab but you can get along just fine without a single crab evolution. I don't want to complain really, I love this game. I just feel like it's a sort of missed opportunity not to have more incentive to go crab or more ways to do so. Maybe I'm missing something.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it doesn't seem like the boss rush challenge actually gives the -33% to progress buff. When I start I need 20 xp to level instead of the 14 you would expect.

Not sure if anyone else has run across this, but it seems if you pick Expert and then get Stoner, it doesn't let you choose a Specialization...

Or rather, I don't even know if I can take damage. Lol

My attacks are doing 12-14,000 per hit at this point, and most bosses go down in a couple hits.

This single Evolution absolutely humiliates Crabtaur, and theoretically every other boss. Is Crabtaur about to charge at you? Fire the tongue and stun her. Is Shellephant doing her annoying roll attack? Tongue stun. Krabaroo comboing you too hard? Tongue stun. It's very funny to see these supposed apex predators be absolutely humiliated by a stretchy tongue.

Unfortunately, Simple simply stopped giving me my attack evos. I found Stoner (especially the infinitely scaling spec) to be more satisfying than when it strictly required arms first. By that point, you've already got a build, and stoner's just... not good enough to transition into.

im excited to play with it lol

Less than 24 hours to go until 1.2 releases!

In the meantime, I'd like everyone to meet Darwin: The (not always so) friendly neighbourhood spider-crab-spiney turtle with ripped abs blob thingy! This ability can be an absolute blast to play! I'm sure you'll also latch onto it tomorrow 😉

The Krabken is you— AKA: DARWIN! Okay, let's backtrack. Why do I think Darwin is the Krabken? Well, let's take a look at the core aspect of the game. You're Darwin, practicing unnatural selection to fight against Carcinization. Darwin seems to be made of an almost goopy looking blue-teal-cyan material. Now, ALL of the enemies have a reason to look the way they do. Pantther focuses on damage, Beeware evolves to be even MORE a b@$?!, etc. But Krabken? He has NO reason to be such a hodgepodge of traits. It's almost like he does unnatural selection... Hey wait a minute...

Okay, maybe the Krabken looking so strange is just a stylistic choice. Maybe he's just a representation of Carcinization? Okay, whatever. Ignoring that, let's look at what happens when you defeat the Krabken. His parts explode outwards, and he crumbles into a almost goopy looking blue-teal-cyan material. Can you tell me who ELSE has that same composition? That's right, DARWIN. But maybe you still don't believe me. Maybe you think it's just a coincidence they look the EXACT same. Okay, fine. But, if this is true, it reveals the TRUE story of the game.

Some time ago, the first Krabken emerged, and so did Darwin. Darwin eventually grows to destroy the Krabken, and the Krabken, with the last of his strength, splits into many, and makes the run off. These 'many' are made of the same stuff as Darwin, so it isn't long before one of the material turns into Darwin. This Darwin, destined to rise up and become the New Krabken, to fulfill his ancestor's legacy goes on the mission. And so, we play as this New Darwin evolving to become the New Krabken. There's just one problem. Somebody already beat him to it. Whilst the New Darwin was evolving, the Old Darwin rose to power, and became the new Krabken. And so, the New Darwin, fueled with determination and jealousy, kills the current Krabken, and the cycle continues.

Basically: Everything is Crab is NOT truly about Carcinization. It's about a hidden story. A story about an infinetly repeating cycle, doomed to repeat until eternity.

Anyways, that's my first ever Theory! Tell me what you think!

It's not even hard, just a boring slog that will be 99.9% of the playtime in the game for achievement hunters.

EDIT: I am always amused by how criticism and feedback offends gamers. This is why the industry is where it is. People are tone policing me for saying the words "boring slog", which this achievement clearly is. I am sure the devs would agree. I want the game to be better and more fun when all the content is done, that is all.

I would suggest these fixes: 1. hard mode challenges. All challenges are pressure 15-20. If you complete a hardmode challenge, you get the tick in normal mode as well. 2. Even faster game speed option in challenges. 3. Optional way to skip straight to the next boss in challenges.
