All you need to know in order to decide that you need this game is its full title: The Kraken: The Simulation Application for Nautical Maneuvering. I mean, that says everything you need, right?

As a game, The Kraken isn’t the greatest game around. It’s a slow-paced game in which you wiggle your iOS device around and avoid the tentacles of a ravenous sea beast. However, the gorgeous “ye olde” visual style, and the wonderfully macabre death scenes you get whenever you fail, are worth checking out. 

It’s an amusing little bit of entertainment, and it costs nothing today. You cannot lose.
