It's been a week since Playtest 2 ended, and we wanted to share some fun and cool statistics that came from it...

Over 170k crabs joined the playtest, clawing up an average playtime of 4 hours and 11 minutes! You managed a total of 3,680,906 runs, which is less than 3% of the estimated crabs on Christmas Island, and 2,607.792 deaths! πŸ¦€

This doesn't mean that Omnivore isn't loved as it was chosen approximatley 79% of the time that it was offered to players!

Challenges were a new addition to playtest 2, let's scuttle into the numbers...

The chilly Ice Age had the most amount of total runs at 334,301! That's a lot of frozen crabs.

Wild Wild World had 58,750 restarts, the most of any challenge.

The Dry Age had the highest win ratio at 16.6%.

Odd Mutations is an odd one that didn't have a stat that was the most or the least!
