Writhe: The Thing from the Omega Sector
This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive (may not load correctly).
In "Writhe: The Thing from the Omega Sector", you play an alien organism recently escaped from Research Station Omega. None too happy about your captivity, you decide the best thing to do is to eat all the scientists on board, destroy all their stuff, and escape!
Use your tentacles to snatch defenseless Scientists and destroy security systems. Once every scientist is devoured, the exit teleporter will activate. But be careful! Your tentacles are invincible but if something dangerous hits your main body, it's instant death!
Along the way you'll encounter laser turrets, antigravity panels, volatile explosives and uncover the secret research project of Station Omega!
