Fight Crab is a highly anticipated fighting game in the works for Steam and Nintendo Switch and currently available in Early Access. Many have been wowed by what they have seen, and have wondered what inspired the game. Well, in an interview with QuarterCircles, Fight Crab developer Nusso explained why the game was made the way it was.

I was not satisfied with existing fighting games. The fighting game characters move with pre-made animations, but I wanted to manipulate characters freely. Since a game controller has only two sticks, it is difficult to control humans with this. However, it seemed possible to operate the crab with a controller. Because crabs are flat like game controllers.
