Update! We spent the last 3 weeks working on a post-jam version, now with gameplay! Check it out!

Adding a Web version, runs much better than the old one!

NOTE! The web version may run slow. If it does, please download the standalone version, which looks much better anyway. Let me know if there are issues with the Linux version.
- Arm's Reach -
Confined within the inner sanctum of an evil fortress, an ancient monster reaches out into the darkness with hideous tentacles, searching for unwary warriors in a desperate bid to free himself and his villainous partner from their dungeon prison, by feeding upon heroic souls.
You must slay these foes before they can destroy you once and for all, or before they reach your partner, in their misguided goal of saving her. And, while you're at it, this dungeon has plenty of treasure for the clever monster -- if you can grab it before the pesky thieves do.
CONTROLS:
1/2/3: Choose one of your three tentacles
Q/E: Cycle to next/previous tentacle
WASD / Arrow Keys: Move your tentacle
Space Bar: Grab enemies
(Controller)
Left Stick: Steer Tentacle
LB / RB: Cycle to next/previous tentacle
X/Y/B: Select Left/Middle/Right Tentacle
A: Grab enemies
TEAM NOTES:
We decided to challenge ourselves to do something ambitious this LD. All assets, artwork, music, and code were made during the jam. It's not as finished as we'd like, but we're very proud of what's here, and hope it demonstrates the goals of the project in the days ahead. We had so much fun this weekend!
Stay tuned for a post-jam edition, with lots of new features, gameplay, and story scenes to come.

LOVED the intro
Thanks for, a pity short, but amazingly illustrated story)
All in all, an awesome game.
Despite this, the game is a really clever take on the theme and very solid overall. Great job!
The negatives then. There is no challenge. Blocking the corridors with your tentacles is way too easy and the enemies have no way of attacking you afterwards. As such picking them off one by one is a rote exercise, rather than an exciting time.
You should concentrate more on game design next time. Games are about decision making and overcoming challenges (fun). A trivial victory is a hollow one.
Awesome entry overall.
