Race to Kaiju

pretty funky idea, I like the music. The game has pretty telling visuals, so it kind of explains itself - I managed to win the first time I played without reading the description. I loved the visuals of the Kaiju!

The ending animation is incredible :clap: :clap: :clap:

Besides that, I can't say I understand the strategy of this game, which didn't make it very fun or satisfying to play. I think I have a grasp of the vision here, and an AI that's better at the game might help teach me a thing or two about a strategy to this game.

The hand drawn graphics are great, and the SFX were on point.

It took a while until I understand the loop. Also I though the windows of the one boat are canons, so a UI icon would have been good. But I like the Ships and the veraity. Also the music is really nice and was running in the background a little. (Even if the loop is broken somehwere)

Thank you for presenting your game and make it web playable!

And I love the animation / God? That comes at the end of the game :D !

I like the music and the effects. I kept on placing ships and they interacted but I didn't got the ' feel ' that I was using a strategy and I didn't understand the stategy .. Maybe I was doing it right, but I didn't got the feedback that I was doing fine. I really like the red indicator that you can't place boats somewhere. Good job!

Hi! really clever and fresh game, was fun fighting the ships with clear objectives.

Nice concept for a strategy game! There are a couple of things which I felt could be added for better QoL:

- A circle for cannon radius would be nice. It also happened to me that I placed a ship with a cannon next to another one and mine got killed earlier which felt unfair. Not sure what is intended behaviour.

- When you're trying to connect to an empty blue socket I think it always tries to connect to the last placed ship. It would be nice to be able to choose the green connector as well. I had a situation where I had a close ship, but couldn't connect to it because the game was trying to connect to another one.

- It would be nice if same ships will be excluded from the choices of three. I got a situation with 3 shitty ships which didn't feel nice :'D

I loved the game overall though. When opponent connected to my ship which he disconnected a turn before was a nice plot twist! It added depth to game once I understood that I can steal parts of network. Also the finishing animation is cursed and I love it! :D

Really like this concept! I didn't understand the connection mechanic at first, but I got the hang of it on my second try and managed to reach the kaiju. As mentioned in the previous comment, I think that showing the radius of the ship's cannons would be a great help. Nice job!

Cool looking Kaiju!

Thanks for tuning into the stream and sharing your game with us!

Kaiju? Who's afraid of the big Kaiju? But you should be, so you'd better hurry to get there first!

the designs of the boats are super cool, I really like what it gives off in terms of atmosphere. It might be cool to also have the game board drawn by hand as well. For the gameplay, in my opinion there should be a little more clues for the player to understand the different possibilities available to him and what he must do.

Thanks for coming to the stream!! I appreciated your entry- more feedback might be coming later!

It's funny but also unfortunate how messy the game can get, with the enemy having so many ships on the same location. I wish it would have been more clear what all the information was. I like I wasn't sure of the ships were equally strong or not. It also would have been nice if I was able to cancel, after selecting a ship. But I do like the idea, and the race against the enemy. It's also cool how you got the animation of Kaiju blasting his laser or whatever.

Nice game! Simple mechanics but surprisingly deep strategic thinking with the cannons, limited connections, and ship stealing. Music was also a big plus for me. I could see this being a fun 2-player game too.

Interesting game, I like music in it. It was funny, thanks!

Very cool. Quite enjoyed this one

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod of the stream (with a chapter for your game)
