Really liked the game and the music is a banger. You should continue to work on it.
But all the parts of the tentacle can lag the game and I could surf the boxes by holding them.
Could you share how you made the tentacle work?

Thanks! The tentacle is made up of several hinge joints, with the first joint on the gun, and the last on an object that follows the mouse. A specific amount of joints is made based on the distance from the mouse, and then several pixel-sized boxes are given parent joints to follow to give it a visual.
I’m currently looking into a better method with the marching squares algorithm that could reduce lag completely and look better.
