Crab Bucket
Crabs are trying to escape the bucket! Select a crab and pull down the climbers before any of them make it over the rim. Based on the “crab mentality” — if I can't have it, neither can you.

How to Play
Keep the crabs in the bucket as long as you can.
Select a Puller
Click an idle crab at the bottom to select it as the puller. Climbing crabs can't be pullers — they're busy escaping!
Pull Down Climbers
With a puller selected, click a climbing crab on the walls. The puller lunges up and drags it back down.
Watch the Danger Zone
Crabs near the rim glow red with a danger arrow. A 3-second grace period at the start gives you time to prepare.
Build Combos
Pull crabs within 3 seconds of each other for a combo multiplier (up to x10). Watch the combo bar at the bottom.
Swap Pullers
Using a different puller earns a swap bonus. Closer pullers get more points and recover faster.
Survive the Surges
Every 3rd wave triggers a surge — multiple crabs start climbing at once. Watch for fast crabs with dark stripes.
