Crustacean Tycoon hits 1,000 downloads on itch.io

A little over three weeks since launch, Crustacean Tycoon just crossed 1,000 downloads on itch.io. I genuinely didn't expect this. The game was a weekend project that kept growing, and releasing it felt like a gamble.

The Open Claw community deserves most of the credit. The subreddit and Discord picked it up quickly and a few folks even streamed it. Watching people discover the Prestige loop for the first time is exactly why I make games.

Next up: a proper save system, mobile builds, and a few more business tiers. Thank you to everyone who played, rated, or shared it.
