I definitely think the controls can be improved but there's a nice Vlambeer vibe in it :>
(Great soundtrack by the way)
The graphics were awesome as well and the game was fun overall.
However I had trouble with the controls. Using an Xbox controller the movement of the tentacles seemed inverted. and flapped around but didn't have the feeling of really knowing what I was doing.
There also seemed to be no goal, so I lost motivation to continue. Dying turned out to be a challenge as the game seems to be a bit to easy.
But these are all minor points really I really think BLACKFESK is a great game. Good job!
Only after a while I didn;t really know what to do anymore other than jumping around and hitting several boats. Missed something like an achievement.
But overall great job
I felt that snapping the camera to an explosion was a bit too jarring, especially when it was off-screen (ex. when something you hit goes flying and hits another thing in the distance). The controls (keyboard) seem a bit difficult, but I got a bit better at them as I kept trying.
Overall very nice, lots of polish in the Jam Version!
