[raw]
made by Aumni for LD33 (JAM)
Kraken vs Leviathan - Action party game, local multiplayer with AIs available, playable up to 4 players!

Krakens and Leviathans are having a fierce competition to see who are the top monsters!! Unfortunately, this lost submarine has been caught in the middle of the fight and is being used as their playing ball.

Kraken vs Leviathan is a competitive local multiplayer game where players try to shoot the ball into the opponent's net while polluting the water as much as possible. Monsters move faster in their own pollution and teamwork is the key to prove that you are the better monster.

Awesome colors! It's fun dashing around and leaving behind this colored trail of ink when playing the krakens. Fun game ;)

Great art!
Music seemed a little out of place. Could be just me though!

I think it is a cool concept, with a nice take on how the game should play. I love the glow effects and the particle effects and it was great that you had both good AI and a very complete game. However, I felt like the turning of the character made it very easy for me to be confused since I got confused on whether I was turning moving directions. The feel of the game was pretty good, but something felt off. The sort of washed out colors on the art made it not as visually distinctive as it could have been. But it is a great game, keep up the good work!

As a fan of both krakens and rocket league I can appreciate a masterpiece when I see one! Excellent design, wonderful game, graphics are superb and the AI is fantastic. Extremely solid entry. Well done.

Very pretty game and a silly idea. Great job! Perhaps in multiplayer mode it would be nice to differentiate team mates with different colours? I kept forgetting when Kraken I was D:!

Really tough AI made for a real challenge. Sadly I often felt more frustrated then happy because dash felt clunky and I didn't know when it had recharged. Also felt like pushing in the "ball" from the sides was the only real strategy.

This is really good! I love the cool effects when you boost. The ai is very impressive.
What is that thing you hit around? a helicopter?

A super fun entry! This would work great as a shared screen multiplayer tablet game. The visual style stood out, great job overall.

Love the neon arena, great job with the art. The controls are very responsive but the game is lacking something, maybe sound effects? Super good for 72 hours though!
