Crab Rush is a free top-down twin-stick shooter you can play right in your browser — no download, no install. You are a toy soldier with a water pistol defending a circular sand arena against endless waves of angry crabs. Move with WASD or the left-thumb joystick, aim and fire with the mouse or your right thumb, and grab the power-ups fallen crabs drop: spread shot, rapid fire, freeze and hearts. Every fifth wave a Giant King Crab storms the beach with a charging dash attack.

How do I save my progress? Your best score and a wave checkpoint (every 5 waves) save automatically in your browser — hit CONTINUE on this menu to pick up where you left off.

Does it work on mobile? Yes — touch controls with a virtual joystick are built in, and it runs in any modern phone, tablet or desktop browser.

Is it free? Completely free — Crab Rush is part of the Playing in the Sand browser arcade.
