I liked the turn-based gameplay and the setting. I do wish there was a tutorial of some sort.

I found the difficulty to be very high, but it was absolutely lovely.

nice! graphics are great, gameplay is fun (though hard!), control is easy... well done!

Awesome entry. I figured out the trick in the end. Turn 1 move toward the kraken. Turn 2, move again so that it is in a line above you, then fire wave thingy and hope to kill it. From there it is just running as far as you can, while shooting at them when you have the chance. Also, fire wave thingy when you are far away from them! Played it for awhile to figure that out. From the perks menu, it seems like the game was set up for much more! Will look out in the future.

I really like the visual style of this game. The kraken won, but I will try it soon again!

Thanks for all the kind words! This is actually just a WIP of my current game project, and I had to comment out like half the source to get it ready: there's an RPG hidden in there that will appear in future projects. =)

My computer isn't a Unity fan, but from what I could play it was really impressive!

The music was very 'McFunky'. I really enjoyed this even though it was way too hard :)

I liked how the tentacles could move across the land - magic! I like the turn based movement - my barrage did nothing - I died at sea - curse you! nice job

Brilliant game! You had the cheek to call it terrible on Twitter. :P

I love the art style and the game in general. Really like the way the tentacles of the kraken are represented individuals. Lovely game!

Can't wait to see the whole game when you've got all your pieces together! :)

Really nice turn based game, I was just expecting more attack effects from the name of the attacks

dustystylus 2014-05-02 09:57

Hehe, how big is this Kraken? :O Really nice turn based strategy, would make quite a cool boardgame, actually!

Great! Mighty Cthulhu/Kraken is a bit too power fool for lone ship, but i had fun trying to kill him.
Overal nice game!

This was really fun, although a bit hard. I liked the turn based aspect, which I find pretty unique to a LD entry. Nice work :)

Looks great and was fun to play! Looking forward to the finished game.

Pretty nice game! It would be nice if there was a gentle tutorial to explain some of the details like AP usage. Yes I eventually figured it out, but when I was initially moving around, it made me nervous to use AP. xD Pretty good turn based system, although I had a lot of trouble winning. One tentacle felt like it could kill me dead in two hits!

Cool music and graphics. Nice use of theme. Vote to get more people to see your game ;)

Very nice to see another turn based strategy game. And a well made one too! The difficulty is quite high and I didn't made it to the end, but I had a lot of fun anyways.

That was tense! Good fun. I like the various attacks and the moody soundtrack.
