@poshaus Uh-oh, thanks for the quick comment! I forgot to toggle the visibility settings to public. :sweat_smile:

Kinda weird someone has rated us already though...

Neat little game, I liked the mechanic of pulling sharks in to block the torpedoes.

Beautiful graphics, and the atmosphere and theme are top-notch too! But I felt the tutorial was lacking. Next time, consider adding an in-game tutorial - nobody really reads the controls on the game's page.

Great job guys! Some thouhgts\impressions that come to mind: Character animation is so stylish and the music is so chill that i wished little cthulhu wears sunglasses :D I think music is not looped, so at some point of 2nd and 3rd stage it stopped playing for me ;( Super cool background level caling\background change animation! Enemies feels weird, like you almost never can dodge aqualangist's attack in stage2, and submarine in stage 3 usually just blows up itself.

The core game loop was really fun. The scale change was a big surprise and worked really well.

I couldn't run it through the Opera browser, but it worked in Chrome, the visuals are great!

The was great, I really love the art. The growth transitions were great.
Could have some with some in game text explaining the attractor beam. I didn't realise that was a thing at first.
The ending was a bit of a let down, It really needed some closure of taking over the surface or something.

The bite sound effect was hilarious. I wasn't sure how the gameplay evolved beyond a basic tractor beam, but it was fun to be a little Cthulhu. Unique spin on the theme!

Nice entry, I'd say the different phases are a bit too long but maybe I just lack of patience. I liked the global mood, the art and music fits well together. Great job!

Love the background art for the different stages and the introduction of new enemies makes the progression feel really good. Would have been nice to get a final growth and new background to celebrate the ending, and more options for fighting back or dodging (projectiles or jumping or something)
