The gameplay was quite fun, I'm glad the enemy projectiles weren't too fast! That being said, at around year 8 I started having performance problems, though I'm not really sure why. There were tons of ships, but I think it might be because one of the moving objects that spawns maybe never despawns? I don't know though. Its an otherwise very enjoyable entry. I like that it turns into a bullet heaven after enough years.

Reverse Pac-ManRelease the Kraken!! :D
I like cheerful graphics, and music! Gameplay was fun too! Good job! :D
P/S: Shout out to a fellow Godot-er! :D

Space EscapersNice music here! And the risk-reward system of getting up close for a melee attack works well. I found the scrolling texture for the ocean a bit of an eyestrain, though, I'm afraid...

Spookin' SamuelIt was really fun to throw trash at the enemies and I liked how instead of the enemies getting stronger you could choose to get weaker yourself. It really made me feel like soon to be extinct kraken :D

The Soul of the PartyI survived for 8 years! Good work, though I never did find much use for the attack, I just threw trash the whole time. I like how not only are we playing as the villain, but you also have to choose debuffs instead of buffs.

Noble NavigatorThrowing trash feels great the attack not so much - it feels sluggish.
Anyway nice take on the theme!

Plat FormerCool game. I had my fun sinking those annoying ships. :D First I thought I select buffs until I released these are debuffs :D

You're the Boss!I hate arcade games that just relies to spam the exact same obstacle 999 times. Plus the debuff is pretty common in arcade games.

To lockpick or not to lockpickEnganging concept for a gameplay loop, the resource management for projectiles & the risk of close combat. Nice balance to an increasingly difficutly gameplayloop.
Good job!

Dark King GorbinI lived 6 beautiful kraken years in the great pacific garbage patch. I agree with the other comments, with how fast everything moves it'd be nice if there was color differentiation or something between the trash, boats, and bullets. That was fun, glad I played :)

Lil' ScoochersWhile playing I wasn't quite sure how the theme was implemented until I read your comment. Now I have to say that reversing conventional game mechanics is a very interesting way to implement the theme. Unfortunately, I had a very difficult time distinguishing the background from the important game elements. Nevertheless, I think the game is good. Well done.

Soul Swap Inc.The choice of how you want it to get harder is interesting. Good job for the jam!
