WOW, what a nice game, amazing graphics and shitstuff
This was amazing! :)
I needed a while to figure the controls out but when you finally get it, it works quite well.
At the first try i fell into the pit, at the second i got the Nitro and even made it back, but when i dropped it on top of the cave (not before it) it only blew a tiny opening into the stones. http://remics.net/screen/210416015533.png
This was a bit frustrating and i did not have the motivation to do everything again, but i guess the game would have ended there anyway :P
Anyway, i really loved it, i think i played your game for the longest time so far this LD.
Oh, i forgot to say that it would have been nice to somehow distinguish the two tentacles, i fell down a lot by mixing them up and having to guess which one i need to retract/bend now.
Wow very nice concept! Art and music are very nice too! But I guess it's too hard for me to control T_T Can't get through the reverse climbing part...
Anyway great entry!
Absolutely great, even if i couldn't pass the first 5 meters <3
very interesting idea! :) and very hard to play :)
Bit too hard to grasp, nice application of the theme.
Loved the art and the concept
Good use of theme, cute tentacle boy, and lovely background music. The movement drove me mad, though. Gripping seemed to do very little, since it was so easy to knock yourself free, and so easy to let go by pushing the wrong button. I do love the idea though!
Perhaps you might want to check out another game I saw that uses similar mechanics, though it took a much different track with it. Maybe it might help with more ideas? http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=56711
It almost felt like walking! Except you control each leg with the hand on the opposite side of your body, moving each leg independently up/down front/back by pressing unlabeled buttons, and at the same time being amazed by the peculiar things that your legs can do.
I would probably have liked this amazing game more if the poor boy have had no legs, since there is no valid explanation as to why he does not just use them to walk. Sincerely, I hope that you continue to develop this idea. Especially the control scheme <3
Looks like it has potential. The controls are a bit hard, but it reminds me of QWOP. Also, awesome graphics!
Great ambient music! A little hard, but the concept was very cool! Reminded me of the game octopus dad.
Really cool mechanic although I did find it hard to use. Great interpretation of the theme!
