Yarr love sailing!
Great game, I love the Kraken, please make more enemies.
Fun! The gameplay is quite simple but the game feels really polished and the leveling-up was a nice touch. Also there's something magical about sneaking up on a ship and absolutely wrecking it while exclaiming "Surprise!" :D
Really well done! Easy but challenging controls, nice soundtrack and pretty graphics. There is a small bug: if you press behind the kraken you will not turn around, instead you will continue forward. It is fun to play regardless of that though!
I idea behind this game is awesome, had a lot of fun with this!

Quite fun, it is very repetitive but theres something about eating ships that made me want to keep playing. However it gets to a point when you're going around the whole map trying to find more ships and there doesn't see to be any so you are just waiting to die.
Fun game, It would have been great to have some variation in the ships and their mechanics, but I understand that this wouldnt have been possible in the time given. Underated game.
4.6/5 Yogstars
Check out my team's game. :)
This game was pretty darn fun! Once I got the speed upgrade I felt unstoppable ( ✧ ∇ ✧) Really enjoyed this. So much scope for going further with this in future to :D
This game is so much fun to play, and is incredibly well-made considering the time limit! I think the only complaint that really comes to mind would be that it can feel a little hard to control at times, I often found myself getting stuck on rocks or just missing a ship after what felt like I should've hit it. Other than that though the game is really good!
Really nice work, v pleasing to look at/hear, and I'm sorry to hear your build broke as the towers sound pretty cool. This game has a lot of potential!
Fun idea, the theme is really cool, it all looked really good. Taking down those ships was super satisfying. Though sometimes you could look through the world, I think this could have been fixed by lowering the near plane of the camera. Also after 15 kills no more ships appeared. :(
LOVE the art style, and the gameplay feels really nice too. At higher levels I ran out of stuff to eat, but I did notice that some content is missing so maybe that was the reason.
This is why I love pirates. It's very fun, it feels too good and sounds spectacular. In the later stages of the game you simply cannot find anymore ships. I suggest spawning more ships, make the game a little harder, add some enemy variety. Then you've got a really good and fun game in your hands. It was just a blast!
Thanks great to hear! It kinda sucks but I had more ships and obstacles (mines and towers) that spawn but they broke on the web build right before submission, ill maybe upload the fixed version after the jam is over
Very good game, and one of the best interpretations of the theme I've seen. Well done :)
I really like the tentacle grabbing animation and the upgrade cards. I'd be nice to have more feedback when you get hit by a cannonball, like a groan/gurgle or something, so you know with certainty when you get hit (at the moment it feels like it could just be normal hunger drain or a cannon sometimes). Great job!
Fun interpretation of the theme, impressive 3D models! I liked dodging the cannonballs from the ships I was chasing.
Yoo, I was seaching for this :)
Looks super cool. It would be even better if you add more upgrades.
Good job!
The gameplay is great! It's really fun, well done. It doesn't have the best looking UI but apart from that the graphics are great. I hope you continue to work on it!
I really liked the creative use of the theme and how oddly satisfying it was devouring the ships! Well done! :)
