User Reviews

Mr. Crab is beloved for nostalgia, charm, and easy, family-friendly gameplay. However, recurring crashes and a long period without updates hurt stability, and occasional glitches detract from the experience. Players are hoping for bug fixes, renewed development, and new content.

Pros

Nostalgia across generations; players recall the game fondly with family memories.
Cute visuals and simple, easy-to-learn gameplay.
Family-friendly and enjoyable for kids and parents alike.
Free-to-play appeal; low barrier to entry.
Works on recent iOS versions, indicating good compatibility.

Cons

Frequent crashes or the app kicking users out during startup or after levels.
Lack of updates / maintenance for years, leading to potential compatibility and stability concerns.
Occasional glitches (e.g., sound issues, jumping glitches) that disrupt gameplay.

Recent reviews

A while back I redownloaded this game because I remembered playing a bunch when I was a child, and wanted to hold onto it for as long as possible. However, the game has a major app-crashing issue in that it hasn’t been updated in over 8 years, so when an ad plays it causes a memory leak that crashes the app until I offload it. I really hope that the game is refurbished at some point to remain playable.
