Yikes, being a squid is dangerous! Fun game!

I actually really liked this! Not sure how it had to do with the theme but it still was fun. The character was cute and all the little obstacles looked really nice!

I'm very unclear about what right click actually does. I honestly felt like I could move MUCH faster by rapidly left-clicking. Right click seemed to do very little mots of the time.

I liked how your health was represented as the little tentacles falling off, though that was very unclear at first as well.

Still, lots of fun, great job!

Best squid physics I've seen this jam!

Really fun! Also, very hard. I love losing tentacles as a way of showing life remaining. Beautiful and consistent art style, including the lighting. Great music. Very neat. Some hazards were offscreen, so it was tough to know they were coming or to react to them.

Cute! Getting that last one took many tries for me. Had a good time though :)

Great game! Feels like old spongebob games I used to play :D

This game is simple, yet fun! Although it doesn't really fit the theme, the whimsical music and comically imprecise movements/tentacle ragdoll makes it good. Having it require less left mouse clicks would improve it as well, since my fingers were getting sore.

Haha you decided to play a fish as the main character too ^^ Nice game, really hard though! Graphics are ok, level design a bit too hard imo, but that was fun :)

Very good games guys! Nice work on the physics!

I love the "tentacles as life meter" idea! Nice artwork too! That music got pretty grating *real* fast though.

Cool graphics and I enjoy the health system via leg-losing. Not sure how the theme applies :)
