Crab Adventure - Hyper-Casual 2D Arcade & Tap-to-Move Game

Crab Adventure is a cross-platform hyper-casual 2D arcade game developed to test and refine a core game loop and continuous survival mechanics. We created this project as an R&D sandbox for fine-tuning tap-to-move control systems, dynamic difficulty scaling, and performance optimization for mobile devices and WebGL.The project demonstrates our team's expertise in configuring 2D physics in Unity and building a versatile, scalable architecture for casual products.

Challenge

Project Context & Goal

The primary technical objective of the project was to build a reliable and flexible foundation for hyper-casual games featuring continuous movement mechanics, inspired by Flappy Bird logic.

The engineers were tasked with developing a system that ensures flawless control responsiveness (tap-to-move) while seamlessly handling the gradual increase in object speed and overall scene complexity.

Furthermore, the project aimed to validate the team’s ability to create comprehensive modular systems, including procedural obstacle generation, score tracking, and adaptive camera management.

Features

Key Features

The core functionality revolves around a dynamic game loop focused on scalability and user retention:

  • Procedural Environment Generation:
    Seamless integration of an object spawning system (obstacles, bonuses) that automatically adapts to the current difficulty level and session duration.
  • Continuous Core Loop:
    Highly responsive tap-to-move controls, synchronized with the dynamic acceleration of the scene.
  • Deeply Integrated UI System:
    Dynamic score calculation, session-end screens, and a rapid level restart architecture with no noticeable latency for the player.

Solution

Technical Execution & Challenges

The most significant engineering challenge was optimizing performance for low-end mobile devices and browser-based WebGL versions while maintaining movement fluidity:

  • Memory Management: Implemented a highly efficient object pooling architecture during continuous obstacle generation, which minimized C# Garbage Collector overhead and guaranteed stable FPS.
  • 2D Physics Precision: The Unity physics engine was fine-tuned to ensure absolute collision detection accuracy at high object speeds.
  • Adaptive Camera Rendering:
    The camera logic was designed to smoothly track the player without screen tearing or jittering effects.

Result

Business Value / Reusability

As a result of this development, we delivered not just a game, but a robust infrastructure that reduces costs for future developments:

  • Single Codebase Architecture: A versatile code foundation that can be rapidly adapted to create any side-scroller or runner project.
  • Ready-Made Solutions Library: The created procedural generation modules and scalable Unity UI Canvas components accelerate the start of future commercial game development by 20-25%.
  • Cross-Platform Foundation:
    Clients receive a reliable base for rapid prototyping of their business ideas, with out-of-the-box support for mobile, desktop, and web platforms.

“We offer custom menswear with online and offline showrooms in Singapore and the UK. People sign up online, come into the showroom, and are measured. We then have their measurement profiles so they can go and reorder online when necessary.

Initially, we had a booking tool that was relatively basic. Together with Soloway, we overhauled the booking tool, making it a lot more flexible and useful to our needs. In the end, we started with the development of an entire order management system that administers measurements and tracks orders along the process. Soloway’s streamlining of the booking system nearly eliminated customer service calls, reducing staffing needs. Their intuitive project management system allowed for an easy flow of information. Soloway was an honest and transparent development partner.”
