About This Game

After your landscaping crab-of-a father gets diagnosed with an incurable disease and your family’s burdened with the resulting medical debt, you’re tasked with filling your father’s claws and getting to work, cleaning up the properties of Cantankerous Cove while meeting interesting townsfolk along the way. 

Play as teenage crustacean, Snippy Pinch, helping your father alleviate his medical debt all while making your hometown beautiful. 

Every landscaping job completed generates Sand Dollars which can be used to upgrade your gardening gloves or claws, buy power ups or, you know, help your family.

Trim flowers you find to collect seeds for unique planting abilities.

Find hidden gems buried around the cove (by tax-evading bastards)

Meet interesting townsfolk eager to you help you (but most of them just want to sell you stuff)

Help restore local businesses and parks.

Delight in totally non-frustrating mini games.

And become your community’s hero, all with the super ability of your little green claw.
