Thanks for trying it out. The goal is to "enlighten" all the other squids by making them swim through your ink trail. I should have made the reaction more obvious or added a bit of dialogue I guess.
I think we both started with the same basic gameplay mechanic and went in completely opposite directions haha. The squid movement looks great and everything feels polished, love the ink splat shadow effect especially :)
This is a fun game despite the bugs, I kept playing till I got all the power-ups. Building a snowballing army of little ink dudes is satisfying, although I'm not sure whether me controlling one of them actually had any effect. The AI seemed better at landing hits than I did haha. Nice work :)
