People who say it's pay to win only played a few hours. This is a "pay to fast", you can unlock all crabs in game.
For legendaries crabs (demon + alien) wait until it is on sale (around 230 pearls) and buy them. But for the robot crab, you can unlock him at the end of your rank (legendary crab) so don't buy him, and if you are lucky you can get them with the crabgrab.

I have more than +100 hours and I have never paid :
- I have ALL crabs + almost every of them are lvl max (50)
- I upgraded ALL their stats to the maximum
- I have ALL hats and most of them are all upgraded
- My personal record is 17M. (the game crashed..)

This game is really funny, especially when you have a teammate.
