Since when did bullets cost ammo? Unrealistic. 8/10, would not tentacle again.

Sound effects make it worth it alone

Giving you 5 stars for audio because your SFX were amazing. I found this game tough and frustrating and I apparantly suck at resource management. But it was a great entry nonetheless!

Dat upgrade sound effect...

Pretty fun. The timing of the day/night cycle is pretty seemless, so good job there. It has had me playing for a while .

Was enjoyable, but the bullets-for-money system was incredibly infuriating, I'd suggest something like paying for special powers or having a dual money/bullets currency system. Although obviously you only had 48 hours, so I don't want to pretend that we should expect the earth.

Overall, an entirely decent game for the time.

Really good fun ^_^
Harder than it looks and the Text could be bigger. Really hard to see key information. The sound effects are perfect and the tentacles ended up looking really cool. The Lure mechanic really adds to it.
Overall I would say huge success!

Mouth sounds FTW ^_^

Sound effects are epic :-) paying for bullets made it interesting (and hard) to balance spending during the day and saving for the night. Good potato!

Very nice use of the theme. Really good for only 48 hours!

Tentaclicious! Raves the Toaster!

I made it to the level 10.
You will quickly lose the game after any mistake. Give players more time to think, build and maybe even sell buildings.
It's fun to build and upgrade stuff. Money management seems to be very important.

The sounds as everyone has said were awesome, and night/day was nice too, but as a design consideration I would suggest giving the player something to do while the tentacles attack, like being able to shoot special bullets that cost extra or something. Because it's challenging now, but not that fun having the controls totally out of my hands for half the game.

"SWOOSH BOOM POW PTING 10/10"

One of the best Dezzles-inspired shooters of our generation. GOTY 2004.

Made it to level 11. Feeling quite proud of myself. You should ALSO feel proud of yourself, because those are the nicest tentacles I've seen in a while. Also amazing sound effects. Really good job.

Best audio LD29 award. You did a sick job with the tentacles too. Had to subtract all your stars for potato though
