The octopus theme is inspired. I do really love the idea of looping guns, but in this case it didn't do much for the game. If you could set loadouts that had special effects, then it would be fantastic. At first I thought the movement was janky, but then I started thinking of it as dodging, and it felt a LOT better. Well done.
Interesting interpretation of the theme, I don’t think I’ve seen this one before. I feel it may have been realized better though. Maybe allowing the player to arrange weapons themselves to have a bunch of load outs that change randomly instead of everything being random might have helped. As it is, I felt myself just spamming whatever weapon it gave mindlessly and it somewhat works. I think if the intention is that the player changes tactics based on what weapon is up next in the loop, the movement should definitely be faster and snappier. Otherwise, this was actually a surprisingly polished entry with a good amount of content for a jam game. I did have fun smacking the sharks with a sword :P
I died in the main menu. 19/10. Fun!
Satisfying main gimmick with the different weapons and the method of movement was interesting. The restricted movement though was a little difficult to work around, and it felt like I couldn't help take damage from the sharks in particular, who seemed to move faster than me. Overall, very charming and compelling game!
Very unique game, it taught me more about how octopuses hunt in the wild! Besides that, the weapon system is really cool, and the artstyle is too!
Cute little round game, found it a little tricky to play on a track pad. but got the hang of it. good job!
Very fun! Sick bullet hell experience, and very creative use of theme
I couldn't play the game cause my browser virus detector couldn't scan anything : (
I liked the game and the integrity of overall several systems!
For convenience, I would like to see a jerk timing bar and some kind of border on top, I was constantly bumping into it)
We will be very glad if you play our game too! :)
Liked the core concept.
