I might actually just suck at the game lol. The game is pretty unique and I enjoyed it! not sure what to improve on lol.


Edit: I take it back! I am great at this game suddenly!

I enjoyed the music, it's very relaxing :)
Got the infinite damage almost instantly. 
I do enjoy this concept a lot and i  wish there were more levels 

Submitted

The game is cute and has a really cool concept, but It's a bit too easy. I consistently get mythic damage really early along with high xp multipliers and more tentacles to a point where after the few 10ish seconds the most effective strategy is just to hold S and win. Maybe if the upgrades got more rare the lower you went so rare and mythic ones weren't available off the bat it would have more sense of progression and challenge.

Ahh, a fun lil' thing. Extra tentacles seem a bit buggy - seems easy to get caught on stuff - but it's mostly simple and it works. Nice job!

Submitted

The concept is good. The balance is out of hand xDD. I can get infinite damage every 2nd chest. Seems it always be like that. So from there the challenge is cut. Its quite easy at that moment.
Sometimes it seems a bug and I can go horizontally to collect the chest.
Congratulation for submission!

Fun game! I think make mine a little bit deeper would be cool. My record is only 50 seconds😎

Well done game, The intro screen is very beatiful, mechanic is creative. I think that infinite air is too powerful, but after all I enjoyed this masterpiece. BTW. why did you choose octopus as main character? What was your inspiration?

Submitted

great game, love the giant upgrade and the squash and strech.

Submitted

Game is really luck based and too short. It has a lot of potential

Submitted

Nice game! but it felt like it went by too quickly.

Submitted

Cool game, I liked the art style. The upgrades were really fun. I ended up with an unstoppable giant octopus with infinite damage and tentacles. I could just barely hear the music with my volume maximized though and no sound effects that I could make out, which is unfortunate. Overall a solid submission!

Submitted

Fun little game! This game made me laugh out loud multiple times with some of the unexpectedly ridiculous upgrades. Also, my wife said she likes his hat haha so that's a good sign.

I also made a roguelike, but came at it from a very different angle! 

Submitted

I like the concept of the game and the art. Maybe add some audio?

Submitted

Fun and satisfying. Getting the mythic upgrades was funny. I wish there was some audio to accompany the drilling, would make it a bit more satisfying.

Submitted

Fun little game! Leveling up was nice but the mythic upgrades felt like I was cheating. The art was also good :)

Submitted

Cute art :) Once I upgraded my damage the first time, the upgrades came quickly stacked up and I won almost instantly.

Needs some sound effects!
