Octopus Odyssey by Flayk

[raw]
made by Flayk for LD32 (JAM)
There once was a hungry octopus who lived in the reef.
"I'm famished! I could sure go for some crabs!"Said the octopus, as the nearby crustaceans backed away in horror.

A pearl flies by the octopuses head, nearly hitting it.
"Ey you" Said a clam within the seaweed. "You aint welcome here anymore"

"What do you mean? I eat guys like you for breakfast!" said the octopus

"Not anymore you don't" the clam replied as all sorts of eyeballs and baddies are in the background.

INSTRUCTIONS:

wsad: Move
lmb: Squirt Ink

Use the bubble to block pearls and change the jellyfish' direction.
Grab the giant ink splotches for POWER UPS
The first-level Power-Up will grant you, "Penetrating Squirt" (Can shoot through pearls).
The second-level Power-Up will grant you "Rapid Squirts" (Shoots ink rapidly)

BOSS TIP: Use the Penetrating Squirt first to thin the numbers of clams. After they are thinned out, use the Rapid Squirts to clear a path.

THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING OUR FIRST JAM!

I was unable to beat the stage with the billion clams because sometimes picking up an ink powerup would create another octopus and the camera/viewport would get really confused. Since there were so many powerups it was difficult to avoid this happening.

Hey this game looks and sounds great.
I enjoyed playing but the mouse control
was painful on my mouse laptop's pad.
Fun game, thank you.

final stage was way too difficult. i finished it because the game glitched out and duplicated the player. so i had a double fire ability. that aside i loved the mood of the game.

LOL I liked the cute graphics and the random R&B beats playing in the BG whilst you shoot clams and seals in the face with your ink

Very cute and fun, with very solid gameplay mechanics! Quite difficult I must add, also reminds me of the gameplay in Beat Buddy!

Very cute graphisms ! (but not enough animated)
It's a bit difficult (can't pass the blue octopus and the fish), and a lifebar would have been very useful !
