Team Mascot with Awards
Crab Rhapsody is a collaboration between USC Games graduate Albert Liang’s artistic brilliance, USC Games graduate Sanketh Bhat’s technical genius, and Berklee graduate Evan Carcaterra’s genre bending score that adapts to the players musical choices. The player takes control of Crabby, a brave crab who is tasked with rescuing band members that were stolen off the stage in the middle of their concert.
Crab Rhapsody uses vertical layering and horizontal resequencing in the Wwise audio engine to provide an exciting and ever changing score that will have players bopping their head while tearing through enemies with musical weapons. Below are a few of the tracks that help make this game an award winner!
