Crab Siege
Watchtowers
Sailors shoot from the platform. Upgrade one and you choose: three archers for a crowd, or one gun that cracks shells.
Crab Siege
Chop, build and hold the cove.
An island-defense game for iPhone.
How it plays
Drag anywhere to run, and the rest happens on its own: the captain chops, collects and swings.
Build where it says
Stand still on a priced square and what you carry pours in. A watchtower, a gate or a cannon pops up.
Head out past the fence
Palms, gold rocks and crab nests wait outside the camp. A nest pays in sailors or a sharper cutlass, and lost islanders you walk home go to work for you.
Hold the gate
Crabs march up the road in waves. Archers shoot from the towers and the captain swings at the gate. Clear the last wave, for up to three stars.
Every crab has its answer.
From stage 8, every stage tells you who is coming, so you know what to build first. Each island ends with the King Crab.
Leapers
They jump the gate. A Gate Net stops them.
Hermits
Arrows bounce off their shells. A gun or the Boiling Pot gets through.
Runners
Fast. Road Spikes slow them down.
Bombers
They blow up the gate. Shoot them on the road.
The Swarm
Small and many. Cannons and the Boiling Pot.
The King Crab
Huge, and crowned. A Harpoon or a gun hits hardest.
A cove worth holding.
Towers and cannons for the road, a gate across it, and more to build as the islands get harder.
Cannons
A cannon hits a whole crowd at once, so it earns its place where the crabs bunch up.
The gate
A gate shuts the road, and the crabs have to stop and bash it. Hang a net on it when Leapers come.
The Boiling Pot
It scalds every crab at the gate and clears the crowd for you.
Easy to pick up.
Short stages you can play with one thumb, with plenty of strategy in what you build first.
Get stronger
Clear stages to unlock permanent captain perks. Tap Rally and every tower shoots twice as fast for eight seconds, or call a Cannon Barrage or a Coconut Rush when a wave gets wild.
Grow the cove
Dig a gold mine and open a fish grill: villagers queue up and pay in coins. Bring home a lost miner, fish seller or lumberjack to work while you fight, and open new land when the camp gets tight.
Come back each day
Daily gifts and a Tiki Streak for winning in a row. Climb the Lighthouse or race rafts across the lagoon in events, and earn rewards on the Treasure Pass.
