Summary

Crab Champions is this season's unexpected Steam phenomenon. The $10 shooter-roguelike is based on a music video and delivers bluntly on the promise of its title. You play as a crab that seeks to be the champion by obliterating rival crustaceans and critters with a variety of military weaponry.

0:55.4

something we're going to come up. I'm sure you don't want to try to just be style. I'm not going

0:58.4

to do it off the dome at this very moment. Now I just want to be, no, I'm good. Thank you.

1:03.4

Okay. The thing I want to talk about before we jump into crab champions, which is an excellent

1:09.4

game and I'm really looking forward to talking about it. I have a problem with the Hungry

1:14.2

Caterpillar. The book, the Hungry Caterpillar. Well, the guy, the Caterpillar. The actual

offs. Everyone knows the Hungry Caterpillar, the official, you know, he gets hungry. He eats

1:33.0

like all sorts of junk food. He gets a tummy ache. He eats a leaf and then he turns to

1:38.0

to butterfly. That's like the classic hungry Caterpillar. Hungry Caterpillar, angry iguana,

1:42.4

constipated chicken. Yeah. All very consistent. Sure. So they've done spin off since then.
