How it feels

A frantic, sensory-overloading arcade shooter that channels the chaotic energy of an 80s amusement arcade

What players say

Players describe My Nuclear Octopus as a fast-paced, Tempest-like arcade shooter with intense psychedelic visuals and sound. The game is very challenging from the start, and some players warn about flashing lights. A few note a widescreen display issue that windowed mode solves.
