i love this game so much, its got super cool movement and also great level design. One problem i have is that pressing A and B seems to be a bit buggy and makes the grapple kind of “miss”. Sometimes your momentum just gets killed randomly when grappling.

A suggest i’d make is to make the octopus grapple with its tentacle (idk it just makes sense). Also proceduarally animating all of the 8 tentancles like Bladerr in [Procedural Animation Dev Page](https://forum.makecode.com/t/procedural-animation-dev-page/41737) would be incredible with the high paced movement
