That is very cool, I love it!
Very nice looking visuals, very original.
Would have loved to have 6DOF

Laughed the whole time, quite enjoyable for such a simple idea.

Fun idea - it worked on Vive just the background looked a bit distant.
Maybe something to interact with (with the tentacles) would inhance the gameplay.

It's very original and it looks nice. Good job!

Ah relaxing tentacles... :D   haha but really the wavy movement is super fluid and feels great. I can totally see this growing into a really unique way to interact with stuff! Giant squid? Tentacle monster? Squid simulator? the possibilities are endless!

Visuals were super nice and relaxing and the music was beautiful. Very zen!

Really love visuals!

Well, that's an easy 5 stars on originality :)

Played on the Oculus Rift S

This was great! I like the music and it feels really nice to have the tentacles follow your hands. I can tell a lot of work has been put into it and it came out very well! Although I am not sure how it fits the theme...

Lmao what an odd game idea that's really original and fun! Well done on this. :D

Developer

Well that's what happens if you try to make something more serious with tentacles but they refuse to server as proper hands ... and then you notice how much more fun is it to just wiggle them to music ;-)

For some reason i could not play the game, the frame rate took a dive when i loaded it

Developer

Sorry to hear that. I had no time to optimize everything and having 100+ bones and fancy IK surely is hard on the framerate. My graphic card might be to powerful that I notice it at all. But I'll improve it in the near futur.

I have a gtx 1070 i9-9700k and 24gb of ram. I should've been able to play it
