UNLEASHED - Son of Kracken.
Become the terror of the deeps!

GAME IS TOTALLY COMPLETE - Play away!

If you find errors, let me know!

You are the son of the great and mighty Kracken, and it's time to return terror to the seas. Destroy ships, find treasure, eat everything moving.

Updated: Boats now have defenses! They'll hit you with their spears, give you a cannonball, or use their armor to flee destruction.

Take a look around the map and see what you find! There are some hidden treasures about!

Be careful! Your destruction will not go unnoticed - the Royal Merchant Marine is always guarding their waters.

Added victory and loss conditions - game is functionally complete!!!!

Now with more awesome sounds!

Funny Game. Getting to new Enemies takes a bit long maybe

Fun game! Enjoyed luring ships into the vortexes and standing up to the navy.

Ah ha, I can review it now - so my comment below still stands and now you have a rating as well :-)

Why hasn't anyone made a game where you play a sea monster like this before? It's awesome!

Not that this is a complaint really, but I found the game very easy -- I could probably continually play until I fell asleep or died of starvation.

The minimap is a nice touch.

The voice-acted sound effects are amazing. Bonus points!

I like it. I couldn't figure out my main object, though. I like the graphics, and the free roaming. Radar was nice too.

Pretty good game. I had a little trouble getting into it and wanting to keep playing, but the idea is great, the sounds are funny, and you clearly did a lot in a short amount of time. Ultimately, I think I just needed a little more direction. I could only get the tentacle grab to work, the other one didn't seem to do anything??

Great idea :) This was fun and well made, I like the varied attacks and the minimap is a great addition.
Some music would've been nice though.

Great idea to play a kraken. Well done. As former people said, adding music would push the immersion.

Cute game and a pretty polished effort. Nice.

Ship AI could be improved. There was one port where ships couldn't leave, I found it stocked with about 10 ships, and racked myself up a level or two. Ships that aim for you shouldn't sit on top of you, but circle around you. It was easy to drop vortex and grab and be done. Difficulty was low, but it had an amusing art/sound style.

Funny, maybe a little bit too easy!

Nice working game. Easy to control and also challenging a bit.
