Hi friends!

The voting results for the alpha version of LD are in, and out of the 2,700+ games submitted, here's where Kraken Skulls landed:

#110 Theme
#199 Innovation
#246 Audio
#303 Overall
#331 Humor
#373 Fun
#416 Mood
#556 Graphics

The innovation one is the biggest one we're proud of - it means we've created something pretty unique here. And we're still iterating over new features; we'll be demoing a new build with the group ink attack tonight!

Thanks for considering us for Greenlight!

Hey all!

Thanks for stopping by the Greenlight page. As you can see from the description, this is a massively improved version of our Ludum Dare 33 game. If you're curious to see a (buggy, stripped down, made-in-48-hours) prototype, then head over to http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-33/?action=preview&uid=54947, download it, and check it out.

Thanks so much!

Description

Release date: December 2015

WHAT'S KRAKEN?

On the giant squid of life, you are but a tentacle. Splash around with two unwieldy appendages as you bash, slap, grab, and squirt in a clumsy attempt to protect the head. In the style of Brothers and The Splits, each tentacle is controlled by a different hand. Team up with friends to defend the head before it's destroyed!

INKCREDIBLE GAMEPLAY

* Three different game modes: waves, endless, and last man standing
* Plenty of levels to add a new challenge
* Global scoreboard
* Boss fights, harpoons, and cannons
* Eyebrows on a squid

"Came for the kraken bad pun, stayed for the kraken good fun! I LOVE IT!! I had a great time playing this game; controlling both tentacles was a great kind of challenging." - inurashii
"Great eyebrows" - architect404
"Like an Octodad kind of endearing clumsiness" - Arnage

I think I could see this working well for 4 player multiplayer.

Looks good, voted!

You've got to be squidding me. No.

I love how people take free to play games, put them on greenlight then ask for money and MAYBE add a little bit of extra features.

Nope

Heyo! Just wanted to jump in and hopefully answer a few questions:

1) We're targeting around $3. The free version of the game is available RIGHT NOW at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-33/?action=preview&uid=54947. Since the free version, we've been adding polish, levels, modes, new mechanics, etc. Basically, things we couldn't do in 48 hours.

2) Yes, this was a Ludum Dare game originally!

3) The 2 reasons we're not targeting mobile right now, primarily, are controls and multiplayer. This game is all about splitting your focus between tentacles - each tentacle is controlled by a different joystick (or WASD/IJKL). Like Octodad, or QWOP, or Brothers, this difficulty is the main game mechanic. And, this is a party game!

To get a sense of both of these things, download the free Ludum Dare Version and try it out. Hopefully you'll see why we're going for Steam first!

I'll keep dropping by to try to answer questions about the game =D

I'd play it free, wouldn't pay for this.

As a free of charge game, maybe, but as a paid game, this game is below the expectations of Steam customers. Therefore I vote no, if it becomes free of charge let me know and I'll reconsider.

Shalashaska 8 Sep, 2015 @ 1:29pm

Ok, the idea is nice and fun, but seeing so many ships all together is just a big NO.
