OK that’s enough of anticipation

OctoEscape!

Now… A few things about the game
(btw, the only avaliable version for now is the test map)

Origin

This game is a remake from an old game with the same Idea, but the art was totally different


A bit different actually!

Controls

Use A and D to move left and right, W to jump (if you are in water, you can spam W so you get lauched out of water faster!), left-click to punch in the direction of the cursor (you can punch the ball), pressing enter or E makes you control a tentacle, following the cursor, and if it overlaps with an object (the ball for example), you hold it (press E or Enter again to release it), and for last, camouflage! you need to hold the Spacebar or Q while overlaping seaweed

Geez! That’s too much

Now your opinions!

Is it good? (still gonna add some things)
  • Yes
  • No
  • Kinda
  • PB & J sandwich

Anyways

I really need to find a way to make this topic more active… errr…

I don’t have much of the ideas done so… What do you recomend?

Is the topic not good enough? or Is it the way I’m reacting to the game jam?
Sorry about that! Still learning ):

um… maybe make the controls a little easier to use, it seems pretty janky and unresponsive now.
and also i feel like it’d be cool if you could stand with your tentacles like a spider thing, and movement was tentacle based, you don’t just magically slide around.

but its realllllyyyyy cool.

is this game still on the title screen or is it just me

1 Like

Yeah… I was thinking that the way you move in the game is pretty weird, I was going to animate the tentacles so they move

Could you explain how the controls feel to you?It seems fine to me

Youre doing fine! Not everyone is going to jump at every new topic because we all have different interests!!
I’d say clean up the meachanics and then work on storytelling

Uhh how did you do that?

IMPOSSIBLE!
