The Kraken by Vennril
You are THE KRAKEN - A fearsome, googly-eyed creature from the depths.
Try to hit passing boats with your majestic tentacles, while avoiding cannonballs.
--------------
Controls:
Hold Y, X, C or V to control the respective tentacle. While holding, press the Down or Up arrow to either attack or dodge.
Getting hit will make you lose a tentacle. When you are out of tentacles, it's Game Over.
--------------
Notes:
Originally I had way more complex plans for the tentacle controls, which didn't quite work out. So in the end, I had half a day left to hack in the gameplay you see in this version.
But I hope you enjoy anyway :)
Tools used:
Unity, MonoDevelop, Photoshop

Want to start off by saying I love this art man!
However, the game didn't run too well for me in my Linux box but I think I get the concept. Good job.
The Y key is a bit far from the others on some keyboards, "SDFG" on the other hand is more common.
Really cool game with nice graphics and gameplay, but I've got only one question:
WHY Y BUTTON?
Thats really uncomfortable to play with so distant button
But anyway here's the 5 for you, I liked it!
I like the art of the kraken and the general appearance. It could use some nice splashy sounds! Also, the user interface could be simplified a bit, but since you had more complex controls in mind it probably made sense... Anyways, I'd love to see a post-compo version of this! Good job!
