Great game, loved it. Controls felt a little awkward being mapped to Q and D for turning on keyboard. But overall I loved the concept and the combat was really fun.

Great game, loved it. Controls felt a little awkward being mapped to Q and D for turning on keyboard. But overall I loved the concept and the combat was really fun.
This looks awesome!
The game menu looked really impressive. The in game felt like a modern n64 title. High praise. I'm pretty sure the enemy boats were cheating with auto aim and the kraken was kind of a push over but the music and art design is really good. I think people who like boat games will really love this, I think you guys did a really fantastic job!
Super nice! In my opinion the random tentacles where a little to powerful maybe some way of predicting were they will pop up would be nice. Like a little pool of bubbling water or something. I like how polished and good looking this is.
Cool game, awesome gameplay
Cool game, awsome graphics and cool gameplay. A little bit too difficul. However how this game fit the theme?
The game graphics is awesome and so is the water physics!, altough it was really unclear on the controlls at first so took time to figurer that out, and the game was kind of short but other wise the game was great! and I really like how the eye of the kraken followed the player xD
The music and visuals is overall really good. The gameplay idea good, but the controls felt really weird. But overall a pretty good jam game.
I absolutely loved this game. The controls are awkward and could definitely use some polishing and work, but the main idea is genius and you could BLOW PEOPLE AWAY if you developed this further. I'm so glad you submitted this, thanks!
Wow, such a nice game ! Even if the controls are a bit weird ^^
What an amazing octopoulpe ! Water's physics is really satisfying, good job even if the controls are a bit strange ;)
Awesome gameplay, but a little bit weird cotrols. Excelent game :)
Very nice game!! look awesome! The gameplay is good and fast to learn A beautiful kraken at the end! i like the eye looking at you so badly :D Very few and minor bug for a game like that (in the tempest, the level 2, enemy ship stay on the beach :P ) COngrat guy! i will try 3D game in a next jam!
Awesome Game ! The controls are a bit confusing but really nice graphics :)
very cool game and graphics even if the view are sensible
Hey guys! Well done! I had fun playing it and killing the cut kraken :D
When i saw this i knew it was gonna be one of them good ones. And yes it is good! Controls are a bit weird, took me a sec and might just be me but its SUPER hard haha. Very pretty, polished models and over all pretty fun!
I played with a controller and the controls were just fine. At first it was very hard because the other ships had very good aim, but then I realised it's very easy to avoid the cannonballs just slowing down for a bit.
I liked the game, it was fun to play and the combat with the kraken was cool.
Really good 3D models and nice looking water! Great job with the game! :smiley:
This was an awesome game. Great job on the water. The music and environment made everything feel so epic
This is a very impressive game for the time limit! All the art looked great (especially the kraken, obviously), and I liked the interstitial cards that reminded me I was working toward something (the kraken). I didn't immediately notice I could charge shots, which was very important, but I eventually figured it out. I wasn't able to hit the lower part of the kraken near the waterline, which I hit a lot and it felt like it should have worked.
The game menu looked really impressive. I really enjoyed the game, i just think a tutorial with only one boat or something like that could be great to let the time to understands the controls and know how to use them. Excellent game good job
Awesome game, very well made! Controls on PC need a little tweaking, but when I plugged in a controller they felt great. The Kraken was next level
Really cute and funny to play !
The models look very good and I like the music. The controllers felt a little bit weird specially the left turn with "Q". Also, when you sail close to the border and your camera is out of the playable area you can't see water through the transparent white wall. Once you get the hang of the controllers the game is enjoyable and the combat is good.
Fun game, good mood, just a bit too easy and quick to finish
Real cool game, the job done is incredible. The graphics are really cool. The only bad point is the boss a little bit too difficult, the tentacle causes too much damage. But everything else is really cool and well done. GG
Great game, it's a pretty unusual take of the theme, I like it. The game feel is good too. Good job to the team !
The game is just amazing in all aspects, had tons of fun playing it! Good work. Kudos for linux build which worked flawlessly!
yeah this is gonna win the whole jam 10/10. only weird thing was, why Q and D to turn? very unusual from conventional A and D
I enjoyed playing it. Defeating the Kraken was satisfying and the Kraken itself is so cute! Very polished and nice game. But I have so many questions about your choices on the control scheme! Why Q and D? Why the firing side changing with the camera position? It was very annoying in a tense battle when the side switches randomly while you're trying to look around. Other than that the game is great and fun. Nicely done!
Hey I think My comments are going to echo a lot of the comments you are getting. The game looks great and plays well, but the controls feel pretty off. I'm not sure what the reason was for mapping the turns like you did, but it seems unintuitive. Also the mouse look feels really floaty in a unappealing way. But I will say that those flaws are overshadowed by the good qualities in the game and that this is overall a really decent entry.
To answer to all the comments saying the controls on Q and D are weird, we are sorry, we are french, and with the French Keyboard, it's the "normal" mapping. We did not thought of that while developping the game.
really solid entry! I quite enjoyed beating it. controls took some getting used to though...
The best main menu ever! Also, amazing graphics, solid gameplay and decent balancing. I think most people have already pointed out the slightly odd control scheme driven by the French keyboard. The only other bit is that dying feels a bit unsatisfying. Maybe a sinking animation would have made that feel more lively. But all in all, this is an excellent game!
Really impressed with how much you managed to get done. The wave physics/graphics are great and the art is really solid too. I like that the kraken's eye followed you around but I did feel that he was pretty tanky. Nice work!
