My opinion
This game is alright, as Moby dick is hard and a little bit unpridicatable which makes him hard to fight as when I move from one spot another spot, as he trys and attact me. As I can see why there is a medal for winning and winning with over half of your life. The range isn't far making it at times hard to get a hit on dick, whats with that I thought fisher men can through futher than that. As also the spikes make it a little bit difficult, but that isn't bad, as it helps you be more aware. I will say that the animation is good but not excellent and the voice work for Ahab is convincing and a litle humories. I think it's just me but this game seems to have a simular game play to Castlevania X on the SNES, as Ahab is on planks moving to try and attack whilst the whale attacks you, makeing you fall in the water, not being able to use your weapon instead of killing Ahab. This is what I think any way. Its a good game, just needs a little tweeking, like make the range a little longer, and it makes me want to beat this game, just like Ahab wanting to kill the whale.

Great, but...
I thought the game had a great concept, music, and design, but the controls were hard to use, and the fact that Moby deals more than double the attack that you use can be very frustrating, but It was pretty fun.

Interesting submission
While not the best in the NG Game Jam this time around, it was still good. I guess it doesn't help that this was easily the most difficult of any game I had played so far. What does matter is that it has positive points in terms of the animation as well as the sound. It was pretty satisfying to be able to at least cause some damage to Moby. How wonderful it is people are embracing classic literature in any way they can. You can just keep pressing the attack button to at least get the 10pt medal.
You really know how to create a dark and creepy atmosphere. While it's still pretty cartoony, it's somewhat faithful to the original story. I think I read it, but maybe that was just a movie version I saw. It's good to see how cool those spears look when you throw them everywhere. You should right click and "Play" to go ahead of the opening scene.
