Awesome! The only complaint I have, and eventually it may be intended as a gameplay feature:
- it's hard to predict the current pattern of the octodad when you try to leave the sea

It's a cool play on "beneath the surface", since you can't see what's going on up there, and your controls are much less precise above water as you're a bit outta place then. It is indeed very hard because of that, but the dichotomy's a neat idea.

Too much of the difficulty felt like chance for this to work at a larger scale, but I like what you did here.

It didn't seem like any of my shots had an effect on the octopus but the fish looks cool!

Thank you for the comment, TyrusPeace. I totally screwed the content of the game and the balancing of it due to lack of time.

The game is way to hard and the control could be much more tight with a bit of tweaking. :)

Awesome, I love it! I think you should really have some idea of where the shots are up there when you're ~beneath the surface~, otherwise there's a lot of guessing involved.

Also feels like the jump really should be more precise. Instead of just adding force to the fish every time you press the jump button, the current velocity of its body should be set to zero, so that the jump has always the same strength.

Otherwise pretty awesome!

OctoKing MK2 is too hard!

Thank you for making a bullet hell shooter!

Second boss was impossible for me to beat. Like all the weird stuff going on though. I liked eating the boss's bullets for my own ammo (once they were in the water.) Wasn't sure what the 'fucked-up water ratio' meant though. Cool art. Just wish it wasn't so brutally hard.
