Long live the Crab Liberation Army!

build.zip is the file to download to play for anyone unsure. I encountered a game crash when I clicked on the last icon with two boxes, and then clicked on the scythe object twice. Upon restarting the game, I tried repeating this, and nothing happened.
Also, when assigning a task to the purple crab, I think it was assigning the task to the pink one instead. I don't know how to advance the game but the music is nice, and the color scheme and first scene look really good. edit: oh, clicking on the date goes to the next day, I see

Thanks for trying our game and for the feedback!! :)
You can also press the spacebar to advance a day too.

The pixel art was very well done, the start sound was a little loud, but overall the systems were pretty comprehensive. If you continued making improvements to the game, I would love to see some tool tips on the buttons, as that might make it easier to tell what they do quickly when you are first starting out. Really well done!
