With feisty crabs as your helpers, build your blocks to the goal lines before time runs out; but beware, "pirate" gulls & baby sea turtles will try to stop you. You will also need to deal with earthquakes, giant beach balls and strong winds!

Use logic and skill to win doubloons and pearls used in the store for upgrades, colorful crab body art and more. Challenge Levels and awards also await our top competitors. As part of your marine mission, you’ll have to explore Tropical Beach and clean up trash while collecting doubloons, taking cover behind trees from attacking gulls and searching for pearl targets.

While you take a breath between building, enjoy marine life fun facts. And, a portion of in app purchases revenue goes to help our oceans and support marine conservation programs. So, Congratulations- just by playing this game you are a Player in Making a Better World!

True sandcastle artists will love Sandbox Beach, which is a creative space.

When your own unique masterpiece is completed, save a picture, or share an image of it with friends on Facebook, Instagram and other social media...or destroy it with a bang and start again!

Our original soundtrack, the Crab Castles Surf Shop, captivating 3-D graphics and original ocean characters make your escape to Fiddler Island marine magic!

Crab Castles takes a different approach to the classic block building puzzle genre. The goal of this game is not only to reach and maintain a certain height in a specified amount of time, but also to use action strategies.

Build Levels have four goal lines and a Challenge level. If the block tower is built and is standing at or above the first green goal line when the timer goes to zero, you can move on to the next level. When all four goal lines in a level are achieved, the challenge level for that level will open. Special Levels introduce new game play: here you must control your crab’s speed and direction while it runs around Tropical Beach. Your primary goal is to pick up the trash items before the time runs out. That wins the level. Along the way pickup doubloons (win points) and win pearls by hitting pearl targets by tapping on the screen. Once you collect all the pearl targets in level 30, the doubloons on the beach turn to Platinum and are worth double points. If you can collect all the trash and all the platinum doubloons in one gameplay, you will reset the pearl targets! The platinum doubloons will turn back to gold.
