Interesting take on this game - if anything I feel like its far too often that the fish spawn and I am still on cooldown with an arm making it impossible to even have a chance for them -that being said I don't think there is a failure condition to this game?
I think with a bit more visual story telling (rather then typing it up in the description) would really go a long way here also, and some SFX to sell the story a bit more
Keep it up :)

A simple but really interesting little project — beautiful art and a cool (and tragic) premise. Congrats on the game!

GraverunOh, this is beautiful! I've always found the grim fate of the octopus mother so, so tragic, it's quite special to see it depicted in a game. The animation for the arms were really impressive, amazing work on that. I'll want to come back to this to see how it develops. Well done, everyone!

SoulboundI loved the octopus animation and how you interpreted the theme. The game itself is a bit rough around the edges, but I'm sure it will clean up nicely after you finish it!
One thing is that I think all of the arms have different point at which they deter fish? and the one on the top left has it really early compared to the rest. I might be wrong though.
Good luck with the project!
