This is the first game I've rated this time around. Screenshot must have caught my eye :)

Brilliant and original concept. I'm not sure I've played anything quite like this. It made me feel huge like king kong on the top of the skyscraper swatting down planes. Music & sfx were perfect for the mood.

Game played a little choppy/slow - maybe it's my browser? If I could restart without reloading the page from the "You Lost" screen, I'm not sure how.

Great job!!!

High scores for innovation and theme! I definitely enjoyed it. (My game is jealous of your tentacles!)

Nice one :)

Very addictive gameplay. Not the greatest visuals but they were mostly consistent which is nice. I haven't really played a game like this before and managing both tentacles on each side of the screen was actually quite hectic and fun. Well done!

Interesting mechanics. I didn't know for sure how to effectively use both tentacles, but it was a fun to flail them in the air.

Got to 400, idk if that's easy or not :P. Only complaint is that you only need to use one tentacle as its length reaches the entire screen, thus making it pretty much just a useless attachment.

Bonus points for tentacles!

Very innovant!!

I like it!

It's very good idea to manage each arms!!

The game ran well for me and I liked it. The music was very eerie.

But can the game be won? At the end I got the message "You lost", so can I actually win the game?

Really fun game with very satisfying gameplay.

Cool entry! The smooth, flat-colored graphics look really clean. Good variety of enemy types. The tentacle moves well, just a little slower than you'd like. I'm a fan of the way you can smack enemies into each other for combos, like Planet Punch. Good stuff.

A "Replay" button and persistent high scores would be icing on the cake.

I like the idea and the game is funny too! The graphics and music was nice aswell :)

jakob37 2015-08-27 19:09

Nice little game! I liked the mighty feeling of moving the tentacles, destroying the oncoming swarm of small UFOs :)

adsilcott 2015-08-28 15:15

Fun and simple game. Like the tentacle movement.

dracomagna 2015-08-28 15:16

Simple but good! Also, with that kind of controls, you should think about making a mobile version of it.
Anyway, nice job!

drauthius 2015-08-30 13:06

Cool game. Simple and fun. :)

The concept for this game is great and you built upon it perfectly with all the diffrent types of enimies/projectiles. Great Game ;D

Nice! A little easier to control than some of the other monster arm physics entires.
