What a sweet game! I really liked on level 3 having to choose whether to attack right or left, and the fish enemies were a great addition! I found myself wanting a progress indicator in the level, and the ability to use my left and right mouse buttons for the left and right tentacles. Great entry!
Great game!
I was surprised how intuitive the controls are.
Levels are a bit too long in my opinion.
Creative game with aesthetically pleasing graphics. Enjoyed it very much.
My only problem was that my mouse wasn't captured by the game so I kept incidentally clicking on my 2nd desktop.
Fun game! Looked great and it was very satisfying when you killed things!
My only problem was that my mouse wasn't captured by the game so I kept accidentally clicking on my 2nd desktop and minimizing the game.
Realy fun. Played it on a touchscreen, which might be even more fun than with a mouse. Might have to check out the source to learn a few things :)
Hilarious execution and a lot of fun to play. Well done!
Excellent game, wonderful graphics, really well polished and the controls work fantastically. You've done a really good job with this one!
Looks and feels great!
Those controls man. Enjoyed the game tho. ChingChung :)
Man, this is a great entry... but so hard. >__<
(I think that) I understood how the tentacles work... they try to move toward the cursor in a straight line... But this knowledge is pretty much useless when you are being pressured by a lot of enemies. XD
On my first play through, I got the 'extend' power up first, which helped me quite a lot...
Great game and great graphics! I only found the song a little repetitive...
LOVE the art style. Looks really good and the movement on the ship and waves was great. Agree with above comments on controls/aiming, but this is a great little game. I'd polish it up some more and see about tightening up the controls.
Also - best game title ever. :)
I really like this game but believe it would be allot more fun to play on a touchscreen device :) as said by someone else. very polished and it works with the theme. Good job!
Haha! This is a really great game! I love how the music evolves from level to level. I really liked the upgrades and the whole feel of the game! Very well done!
Really great submission! Really creative!
Great pixel art game!
Just awesome. Excellent art, music, theme, and what not. A perfect, complete game for LD33 Compo.
I really liked it. It has a good variety of gameplay.
Overall 5/5! Great job! Can't believe how simple idea can be made into such fun game! This should be taken into textbook! PICKED BY GB!
Very original and solid game! In my opinion it got too hard a litte too fast. Also, I wish you captured the cursor, I keep clicking outside the game.
Cute as always! Great extra with the upgrades. I just wished that the goggles looked more fresh on the Squid :)
Love the graphics and the upgrade mechanic was awesome.
Good job :)
A well-implemented big tentacles.
Very polished! Great fun and I love how everything bounces! I found myself attacking with the rhythm of the tune :D
Wow, those animations are super-fluid. Good game, although a hard one.
Audio-visually this is perfect! The controls make this game very hard. I enjoyed it a lot and will keep playing this!
I liked the mood of this game, everything lumbering along like a ship on the open sea. However, the gameplay was just a little too slow and I never felt like I had enough control over the tentacles, but at the same time I appreciate that it needs to not be too easy either. I think the upgrade system is really well done. Great job.
Really polished as always! The graphics are really lovely! The game could be a bit faster though
Hm. My mouse disappears when I play this game, which makes it pretty difficult.
This game was a lot more doable with the googles :)
But I'm now currently being hit by the last ship left, sitting on almost no health but not able to die :P
- great art style, feels really fun to look at, really nice water effects
- good re-use of stuff for different levels
- it was cool hearing the music change as level progressed
- i kept clicking off the window even though it was full screen, that made it difficult to play
- i could not figure out how to kill the blimps, but I didn't want to start from the beginning again after i died.
- an option to continue would be nice
- more precise control would help, i often couldn't predict how I was going to swing. after reading comments it seems like maybe the mouse cursor was supposed to be visible, but for me it wasn't
