Haha, interesting game! Not sure if my hits registered tough but i felt i hit the monster a couple of times. Also when it "crashes", it actually crashed my browser, had to reopen it :) A very unique idea, I liked it!

Yep, definately got unstable alright! love the effect you had for the unstableness. The only problem I had was that the demons moved so fast and hitting them was pretty hard

I liked it. It has reminded me of games like "don't starve". Very good sound, movement and effects.

Thanks for the kind feedback!

@appoxgames - yes, with less stability you have less chance of spacebar triggering shooting ;)

Simple but enjoyable game. Also that kraken is super speedy!

Man I was chasing this dude everywhere, found it slightly difficult to aim at the guy. The unstable visual effects worked well to stop me getting to the dude.

I couldn't hit the kraken for the life of me lol The unstable graphics are honestly nightmare fuel, I'm glad you put in the warning not to play after dark. Even with the lights on it gave me a good spook, so I'd say you've done very well at making that atmosphere come alive.

A unique experience! Gameplay was a bit difficult, but the glitch effect looked really nice!

Cool idea. World of Alpacas - yes! The instability effects were just super. The kraken often was too fast for me to get to him, but aside from that, it's pretty solid.

Seemed incredibly difficult, don't think I hit the kraken once but the game idea was cool. Loved the effects.

The kraken is damn fast. I couldn`t hit one songle shoot. I also had a hard time to aim. Butnoce game. Good job

I tried to defeat the kraken, but the kraken defeated me and the monitor began to hiss unstably. I was wondering how you managed to achieve such a believable kraken sound? This is genius!

silurus 2021-10-05 20:31

The atmosphere is really good, The filters that are added as well as the crackling are great. Goodjob!

lol. I love how the crash litterally is what it is.

joshuarabbit 2021-10-06 05:47

I love the screen effect which creates a sense of urgency, when I never succeed to hit the ghost

suisou 2021-10-07 04:49

Really Like mood of this game,I feel sad about alpaca because it can't defeat kraken.It created a great sense of powerlessness. I waited for a while after the game got stuck (I thought Kraken's big face would appear on the screen to scare me):D Great work!

digitaldude555 2021-10-07 13:32

Yo I actually got spooked by the screen, very nice effect. Like the design of the cute alpaca. But from reading the comments everyone including me cant hit the kraken, I think the hit detection is just broken.

furfel 2021-10-07 16:11

Thanks everyone for the kind comments ;)

@digitaldude555 - yes, it's planned - the less stability there is, the less likely space will be registered. And kraken can only be hit when it's going for the pearl or staying on it - that's also planned for more difficulty ;D

lesinvisible 2021-10-08 13:12

I think that this game is a little bit too difficult due to the control. But overall it's a nice experience with cozy graphics.

szkocka 2021-10-10 11:31

Yep, thats moody ;-;

kumber 2021-10-14 13:20

Omg the kraken was very quick! I couldn't manage a single hit in three runs. Good concept and nice implementation, the unstability of the world was well rendered. Keep up the good work!

Well, apparently pearls did not defend well, I lost to the enemy :с . Interesting idea how to play with instability, for me it was new))
