How it feels

Guiding lovestruck octopuses through deadly date spots feels like a whimsically tense puzzle where romance and danger collide.

What players say

Players guide a blue octopus to a purple one by placing directional arrows. The game starts simple but ramps up in difficulty. Some players note a single looping track and an abrupt ending after world 8 that suggests the game is unfinished.
