One of the coolest games i've played
Loved it !
Thank you so much! With many great games this jam, that's a huge compliment and we'll take it :)
The townsfolk didn't stand a chance haha. Cute Kraken and fun gameplay loop
Thanks so much for playing!
A fun game with great music and art!
Thanks for playing!
Great pixel art at the beginning. I also finds the kraken actually really cute :D
Thanks! We had a great artist. We also think the kraken is very cute :) Definitely misunderstood
Nice story cutscene, I really like the pixel art!
The bullet hell gameplay was also really good and challenging. It's nice that you added sound effects and that you show the time on the gameover screen. (I did 02:34 on my first run).
Overall great experience. Well done!
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. We had a great team and enjoyed making it. 2:34 is pretty good too!
Whatever country that was just used up all of their money on ammo and is now on the verge of financial collapse.
Probably had to have help from other countries too depending on how late in the game you go XD Thanks for playing!
Cute concept! It would've been neat to see different kinds of ships attack you for an added challenge, but overall great work! :)
We definitely had plans for more but needed to descope. Something for post-jam upgrades :)
Visually is amazing and i like hos simple you made it to fit the 48 hours properly, well done!
Thanks so much!
I lasted 2:18, is good? haha
Was fun, at some point there was so many bullets that I went turtle mode shielding in a corner lol
2:18 isn't too shabby! Turtle mode isn't a bad strat :) Thanks for playing!
Fun game! Started slow and quickly got really chaotic!
Thanks for playing!
It is great fun. In my first game, I was just running into ships as I didn't knew (sry, didn't read the manual). Maybe some kind of foreshadowing indicating it's ability could be cool. Otherwise it's awesome.
Thanks for playing!
Nice work! It would be nice if the kraken had more abilities to make it feel even more like a kraken.
Thanks for playing! Completely Agree! Definitely something to put on the post jam list.
Great game! Very simple at first, it gets challenging quickly! I also love the perfect music loop, that is pretty hard to pull off.
Thanks for playing! We had a great composer!
It was a great game but the boats could have used a particle effect or animation on death to make it a bit more satisfactory.
Thanks for playing! I completely agree. That was on our minds but we ended up spending the time focusing on the core and leaving that as extra for later. We could definitely juice it up and add a sink animation based on direction it ended, plus some effect on hit/ sound on hit also.
Rrrr! I am a monster !!! Was very fun
Glad you had a great time! :) Thanks for playing
Looks like Kirby if he was mean (also surprisingly fun for such a simple game!)
Thanks so much for playing!
Cool game, felt a bit easy at times, you could make it something like the bullets pass through the waves so you need to do more dodging? Just an idea :)
Thanks for playing! We designed the difficulty to ramp up naturally. There were ideas to have items that floated on the screen and I had a thought of potential bigger cannons to pierce waves but we couldn't fit that in with the scope. Upgrades (new abilities) and new enemies would definitely be something to think about upon revisiting the project :) Thanks for the feedback!
Fun game with a nice art style!
Thanks we had a great artist!
Fun! It's interesting how in principle it should be easy - and it definitely starts that way but you quickly just get overloaded and it becomes challenging
Thanks for playing! We tried to ramp the difficulty to the point of being able to last until the music loops so you can hear the whole song that our composer created :) Glad you enjoyed the game!
The difficulty ramps up quickly but it's fun. Nice job!
Thanks! We tried to make it so you could hear as much of the song as possible. We challenged ourselves to make it to the point where the music looped haha
