What it is
Critter Crunch is an arcade-style puzzle game from Capybara Games, first released in 2008. Players control Biggs, who grabs critters with his tongue and feeds smaller ones to larger ones.

For multiplayer, it has Co-op and Versus modes playable online or locally. Power-ups and special critters add further variation. Steam features include single-player, multiplayer, online and LAN co-op, shared or split-screen co-op, achievements, partial controller support, and Steam Cloud.
