nice

The controls were quite hard to master (though I think thats part of the charm). Nice work.

celisoft 2015-08-24 07:55

Beautiful game but I didn't succeed to play on my azerty keyboard :/

geeitsomelaldy 2015-08-24 08:18

Difficult to control, but I guess that's what you were going for.

Mouse control didn't seem to work in Firefox, had to run it in chrome.

thebrickanator 2015-08-24 08:20

Really cool entry! I loved every part even if the controls are quite hard to use perfectly.

jorgemoag 2015-08-24 11:19

Great game but the controls are a bit weird.

tayl1r 2015-08-24 11:26

I only got 77 but I had a lot of fun!

tlansdale 2015-08-24 11:47

Difficult, but fun! Good job :)

Heavy. Like heavy metal, but in a game with a kraken.

Fun game, but difficult. The controls were hard to master, I kept trying to hit 1-4 instead of qwer.

mantis 2015-08-24 16:43

loving the music!

andrewjamesadams 2015-08-24 18:16

Hard to play, but once you hit a groove it's fun.

mutuware 2015-08-24 18:16

Great audio!

endingchaos 2015-08-24 18:27

Wow amazing job!!! The graphics were sublime and the controls were QWOPin fantastic :) Great job Great physics!!!

increpare 2015-08-24 18:30

input didn't work on safari/osx, and game didn't load properly on firefox

raducumiczzz 2015-08-24 18:47

Controls were a little hard to master. Was fun to play. love the music and the voice!

kaltic 2015-08-24 18:49

Difficult to control though I love the idea and the game looks great.

I only think the controls seem bad mostly because of how it takes for the tentacles to start moving.

jod 2015-08-24 18:52

I am terribbly impressed.

The mix of music, gameplay and graphics is extremely well done!

I went 'Oh, you must be kidding me!' when I saw the airships :D.

I believe at one point I hit myself with a tentacle. Why are you hitting yourself Kraken? Why are you hitting yourself? :D

8 tentacles up!

infokub-arcade 2015-08-24 19:30

controls are really complicated but I like this game =)

meursault 2015-08-24 19:52

The combination of controls and slow physics is pretty fun and challenging. I like the music.

hackhalo2 2015-08-24 19:56

I really enjoyed this game. The controls were a little to forgiving, though, but otherwise I got 210 points!

asian 2015-08-24 19:58

music and audio fit the game really nicely.

sighnoceros 2015-08-24 20:00

Cool game. As others mentioned, controls are difficult to get used to, but that's the point. Simple and polished, good job.

aberdeenphoenix 2015-08-24 20:03

Flailing simulator! I enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed catching bombs and throwing them.

vennril 2015-08-24 21:10

Pretty solid game from start to finish. Nice choice of music and sfx, the graphics work out well, and I got used to the controls fairly quick.

Interestingly enough, the controls are kinda like what I had in mind for my own game, before I had to change them due to time constraints, haha. Glad to see it in action!

Overall well done :)

shaw 2015-08-24 22:46

Overall look and feel is great, the controls are a little difficult to get the hang over but great work nevertheless.

vividhelix 2015-08-24 23:06

kinda laggy but well made otherwise

runedrake 2015-08-24 23:08

Final score, 97

I wish I had a couple extra arms to play this game :P

flygamer101 2015-08-25 01:09

Nice idea, and had great artwork especially water.

jcourt 2015-08-25 01:56

Nice game. It was hard to get used to the controls, but once you do its a really good game.

weazen 2015-08-25 03:13

This is really hard with a laptop trackpad! Like the idea though, enjoyed it.

teamoa 2015-08-25 03:31

Great game, controls are hard but it adds to the gameplay. It get's pretty difficult later on. Loved it

jmguillemette 2015-08-25 03:54

controls were hard.. but great concept

ruka 2015-08-25 04:45

It's difficult to control.

balbinoaylagas 2015-08-25 05:06

i really enjoyed this game. i thought the controls were very good design, they were a bit stiff but managable. could have had better graphics. but overall it was quite good. great job.

hammerfrenzy 2015-08-25 05:46

Really liked the art and music, controls maybe just a tad sluggish. It felt like I wasn't able to react quickly enough once things got hairy. Overall pretty cool though!

acerio 2015-08-25 10:37

Controls are hard but still a great game :)

galvesmash 2015-08-25 15:08

Great game but difficult to control the tentacles!

razavidn 2015-08-25 15:43

Love the clunky controls, it feels like you're moving a giant sea beast.

crucknuk 2015-08-26 09:20

Controls are a bit difficult to play with, but it is a nice concept!

colindoody 2015-08-27 20:54

Neat spin on the Kraken idea. The Kraken sounds were definitely entertaining :) Controls were difficult, but I definitely enjoyed trying out something new.

Nice job!

theholychicken 2015-08-30 01:16

Really really cool!
Wish I was able to control all 4 tentacles at once though! Would be nice if it could take multiple keys pressed down.

jcwelgemoed 2015-08-31 18:35

190. control challenging to master, but lots of fun. Get quite difficult. Considering this is a compo entry, very well done indeed. Kudos.
