You wake up as an octopus in Dr Docto's lab. Survive his trials, get stronger, and escape.
The story
Dr Docto is building a Super Octopus, and you're the experiment.
He sets the trials from his little red TV. Collect his seashells. Knock things off his desk. Get past the shark. Unclog a very blocked toilet.
Every trial makes you stronger. Every trial gets you closer to the way out.

How it plays
Each controller is one of your tentacles. Grab anything, pull, then leap, swing or jump. Easy to pick up, and harder than it looks once you're steering eight arms through a pipe.
Move the way a real octopus does: grip the world with your suckers and haul yourself along.
Sharks, spiky blockages and whatever else Dr Docto puts in the water. Some of it bites.
Earn new tentacle skins through achievements, from rainbow to camo to molten lava.
Crawl out of the tank and wreck the scientist's desk. He did ask for it.
