Cthulus are Beneath the Surface by Pent

[raw]
made by Pent for LD29 (COMPO)
Play in Firefox or Chrome for best results.

The point of the game is to bomb the Cthulu's and achieve the highest score. The game will progress through stages until they overwhelm you by swimming up to the surface.

This game is multiplayer and you may see other players in the game with you.

Good luck!

Not bad, Cute Cthulus haha, those side ones are a little hard to get though, especially on the left side.

I can see other players moving and firing, but I do not seem to be able to. I'm using Firefox.

Pretty fun:) Neat to play with other players, I also like (took me a while to notice) the dead ships on the ocean floor...
Great job:)

I love that there's multiplayer in it :-) And the idea about cute Cthulu's is awesome.

Excellent concept and (as far as I could tell) seamless execution! Bomb firing sounds got a bit repetitive, but not much to do about that.

It was awesome when I entered to play without reading that it was multiplayer LOL, nice graphics but a bit boring after some minutes :/

At first I didn't want to hurt the Cthulu because they looked so innocent... I really liked the multiplayer aspect too!

I really like the clean graphics and how responsive the game feels despite not having many animations.

The first multiplay I see here, and damn, I am really competitive. I've leaded the game for hours (actually, minutes)!

Pretty fun, the multiplayer took me by surprise. Would have been nice if there were powerups or something. Good job!

I wasn't lucky enough to play it while someone else was also in the game but this could become really fun. maybe you could expand the idea, do some skill trees or something similar.

The multiplayer is a really neat idea and well executed!

Simple but really well put. I was able to play a bit with somebody and you can truly feel the teamwork!

Nice work getting mutliplayer w high scores, though I didn't happen to see someone else playing.

Solid implementation that ran well and had a little of everything, but I felt it was too easy, or maybe too slow. The enemies eventually won by having huge numbers of them but I felt like I had nearly maxed out the killing I could do.

Missing difficult scaling (diffucult to master in a short game jam). Audio seemed random-generated and a bit repetitive :) Other than that, a decent job. Did not test multiplayer, but impressive if it works!

Couldn't run it in Chrome for some reason.
