The final release date for "The Giant Crab in Space" will be Aug 15, 2025. The game is complete at this time however I would like to allow of some time to do proper testing & quality control. If time allows I will also try to add a few cool new enemies and features. For example I have added a rudimentary random map generator which could be extended.
