Quirky game with beautiful neon colors. Couldn't figure out how to kill a fish, but I still enjoyed it. Great concept.

This game shows a lot of promise. I'm finding the controls a bit tough though, especially when I try to rotate the tentacles while the mouse is already over the wheel where I need to click and use the weapons. An interesting game for sure, and I hope to see you take it further. Good job!

You must have an amazing mind to think of such an interesting idea!! I had fun with the swords. Also games need more octo representation, so you've done something great. Well done!!

I love the wildness of the idea but for me it needs a lot of refinement. Maybe struggeling with the interface can be part of the intended gameplay - i mean octodad comes to mind of course - but here it just felt uncomfortable.

An interesting idea, but still needs to be finalized.

Good luck with the development of the project! =)

Wow, I never knew I would love being an octopus and hauling around like 5 boxing gloves.

My favorite weapon is actually the sword (super cool)!

What an interesting idea! I love it. However the controls definitely need work, perhaps it could be using NUMpad or something (but laptop users would then struggle).

But using the mouse to click a tiny UI in the corner while also worrying about enemies was a struggle!

What inspired you to create this?

Such a wild concept how, the music is perfect I can't believe this even exists.

So the control scheme, let's talk about this. It's chaos, I did eventually get used to it but even then it wasn't fun. I felt like it was easier to play while never rotating my octa.
I love the idea of rotating the octa and using the different arms, but I'm not sure if this is the way. Maybe using the scroll wheel to rotate, and clicking with your mouse (with the arm closest to the cursor being activated?). I just love the idea so much I hope you develop it further, sorry for the long comment ;)

And thank you for the great game!!
