Dive into a great adventure in the Game Boy era!

In a world where humans and octopuses are at war, Tako is a pacifist little octopus who rescues a woman from drowning one stormy night. A fairy sees this act of bravery and grants him the ability to survive on land. As he travels across the world, Tako defies his family and his people to try to resolve conflicts between Humans and Octopuses, plunging him into the very roots of this dysfunctional world.



Tako will solve puzzles, turn enemies into platforms by spitting ink at them, explore mysterious dungeons and fight tenacious bosses on his mission to end the war between the undersea Octopus kingdom and the terrestrial Human realm. Will you help this brave octopus to spread his message of tolerance and teach both species to coexist in peace and unity?

Overstays its welcome

I really wanted to love this game, but I'm having a really hard time finding the motivation to finish it. It's a pretty long game (+10 hours), but the gameplay is far too limited to sustain such a lenghty adventure. I guess it nails the Gameboy aspect here, but lots of games back then had far more interesting gameplay. There's a lack of polish as well, from floaty jumps, enemies appearing at the last second resulting in hits, a pitch black area that's a pain to navigate... One of the main mechanics (if you can even call it that) is switching hats, which change the default attack. Only problem is you're not actually switching between your 2 hats, you drop them. And they drop both at once at the same spot, only a few pixels apart. So you have to regrab them to FINALLY switch. Super annoying. And to make things worse, most hats aren't really useful compared to the basic ink shooting attack. It's a shame, because the writing is pretty good, characters are cute and the graphics are great, but the game is clearly lacking variety in the gameplay and level design.
