Killer Krakens is a free browser arcade game from The Night Crew, our animated show about janitors in space. In the pilot, the crew plays this game — so we built it for real. One boat, a rack of depth charges, and the whole deep rising to meet you. Arrows steer, Space drops a charge, K lights a thunder keg. Scores save in your browser. No ads, no sign-up, no download — and it's in open beta on iPhone via TestFlight too.
