Take control over the legendary giant sea-monster, the BLACKFESK, and wreck ships, planes, dinosaurs, mechs and vikings!
Can be played with Xbox 360 controller or keyboard. Use the controler sticks to move BLACKFESK's arms about. Use L + R to launch yourself into the air and L or R for rotation. Also, you can double jump by pressing L + R in mid-air.
Keyboard: A: Rotate left D: Rotate right A + D: HYPE!!! A + D (in mid-air): Double Jump Arrow keys: Move tentacles
Loved it! At first I had no idea how to move or do anything but after a bit of trial and error I was leaping in the air with my arms waving about killing things with my awesome moustache. The conversations were a great touch too, overall it was super cool!
wowzers! This game is hella fun, and feels great to play! Really slick atmosphere and the art is beyond adorable. The camera work is also excellent. I played with keyboard which was a little hard to get used to, but it works well. I do wish there were some enemies that presented a real scary threat that you might have to avoid or take out specifically. It also seems like my HP never went below 75%. That being said, really awesome game! Take all my stars you magnificent bastard!
Oh my the music blew me out of the water! The best song I've heard this Ludum dare. 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!
HAHAHAHA, great game, although the controls are a bit crazy and the tentacles make no sense. it's all about WRECKING. Oh yeah and there is no challenge at all. But still hilarious. I enjoyed it a lot.
Thank you all so much for the positive feedback and constructive criticism :D! We appreciate it a lot, and it really warms our hearts to get such praise!
Everything looks good: Art, audio, gameplay. Really 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
Nice moustache. The flavor text was great. Unfortunately I was so focused on playing that I didn't get to read the conversations. I also enjoyed the variety of vehicles thrown at you!
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!
Neat game! Clever idea going with a sea monster. I also loved all the different enemies. Controls were a little weird, along with how the camera snapping to exploded enemies. And it needs some real challenge too! (I only played the jam version so I don't know if these aspects were changed.)
This is ridiculously awesome! The physics, animations and even the looping main music is really fun and silly. My only grip is the controls, I don't think having the trigger buttons control the super jump and the rotation, especially since for me whenever I charge I also rotate at the same time.
Best music I've heard in a Ludum Dare game. So catchy. Not to mention, those graphics are stunning, something about the colours/effects you used really make the game pop out from the screen! Loved the satisfying crunch you get when destroying ships and other vehicles. Just needs work on the controls a bit. Great basis for a game though.
Where to begin - AMAZING music, fun and playful game, made me smile... well done! I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/fxtKngYPsCg
I also included your game in an article of my favorites from this jam and added a trophy to your Ludum Dare profile! :) Sadly, I am unable to put a trophy on your profile as it is private because you have not posted anything! If you do post something in the future, please email me with the subject line Ludum Dare 33 Trophy so that I can give you the trophy!!

I definitely think the controls can be improved but there's a nice Vlambeer vibe in it :>
(Great soundtrack by the way)
