I figured out the trick in the end. Turn 1 move toward the kraken. Turn 2, move again so that it is in a line above you, then fire wave thingy and hope to kill it. From there it is just running as far as you can, while shooting at them when you have the chance. Also, fire wave thingy when you are far away from them! Played it for awhile to figure that out. From the perks menu, it seems like the game was set up for much more! Will look out in the future."},{"author_name":"Thorig","author_uid":"14618","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:53pm","epoch":1398782880,"text":"I really like the visual style of this game.

You had the cheek to call it terrible on Twitter. :P\r\rI love the art style and the game in general. Really like the way the tentacles of the kraken are represented individuals. Lovely game!\r\rCan't wait to see the whole game when you've got all your pieces together! :)"},{"author_name":"ehtd","author_uid":"11246","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 9:34pm","epoch":1398979740,"text":"Really nice turn based game, I was just expecting more attack effects from the name of the attacks"},{"author_name":"DustyStylus","author_uid":"15902","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 9:57am","epoch":1399024320,"text":"Hehe, how big is this Kraken? :O Really nice turn based strategy, would make quite a cool boardgame, actually!"},{"author_name":"xdegtyarev","author_uid":"5862","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 12:14pm","epoch":1399032540,"text":"Great!

It would be nice if there was a gentle tutorial to explain some of the details like AP usage. Yes I eventually figured it out, but when I was initially moving around, it made me nervous to use AP. xD Pretty good turn based system, although I had a lot of trouble winning. One tentacle felt like it could kill me dead in two hits!"},{"author_name":"MintArcade","author_uid":"35966","time":"May 5, 2014 @ 11:38am","epoch":1399289580,"text":"Cool music and graphics.
