The graphics work really well. The sounds are a little incongruous, and the controls don't always respond the way I expect/want them to, but overall good.

Thanks for the feedback

Great fun, would like to be able to get a little closer to the water line. Seeing the people spill out of tipped over ships and eating them was too much fun, good job! :)

I like the gameplay a lot, and I played for a while even though there wasn't any win or lose.

The graphics on yours are definitely better than my Kraken game. Looks amazing

Good graphic

I think I was getting too much fun, because eventually one of my tentacles got stuck somewhere offscreen (beneath the screen surface) and I couldn't move much.

I would love to see how it looks in replay with above-surface only looks, should be creepy! (multiplayer remake?)

Great idea, thanks

One of the most original games gameplay wise.

Once you get the hang of how to control the kraken, its a lot of fun trying to get all the ships flipped over. I wouldve liked a way for the game to end/the kraken to die, so you could actually set meaningful highscores.

Still really liked it though, great job.

Simple by beautiful graphics and fun game play based on physics! I hope there will be some attacks from the battle ships(cannon, torpedo...) to make the game more challenging! Also, some blood while eating the sailors will also be a great add-on! Hope to see your wonderful HTML5 entry next LD!

Awesome game! Very innovative control of an octopus! Very impressive!

I love the art style, reminds me of LUFTRAUSERS. Too bad there isn't more depth to it (no pun intended)

Playing with physic is always fun! And what could be better to play with psysics as a kraken?
It's true the controls are sometimes a bit confusing, but wrecking havoc is fun. I miss a possibility to loose or a reason to push my performance further. It's a great concept and I would love to see a post portem version.

When I read the Eaten score at the bottom I thought I had to catch tiny drowning people with the kraken's mouth. Fun game.

The audio sounds a bit more like I should be collecting coins, not like I'm devouring hapless humans. I like the basic mechanic and the graphics though. It'd be cool if the battleships started dropping depth charges or something that I needed to dodge.

I like the concept and it's visual presentation, however the controls make the game difficult to fully enjoy.
A good effort overall though :)

I like it!
