About Ben 10: Kraken Attack
Kraken Attack is from the first Ben 10 series, before the sequels changed the cast. You fight a large sea creature and the smaller things it sends at you, and the game gives you the alien forms as attack options rather than as a transformation system.
It is a boss fight stretched into a whole game, which was a common shape for a tie in. The pattern reading is the point: the Kraken telegraphs, and a player who watches for the telegraph will finish it while a player who mashes will not.
How to play
- Move along the deck with the left and right arrows.
- Attack when the Kraken exposes itself, and get clear when it does not.
- Deal with the smaller creatures before they reach you.

Tips
- The Kraken always telegraphs. Watch one full cycle before you attack anything.
- Clear the small creatures during the Kraken's recovery, not during its attack.
