Hey! I decided to play this game and it's cool. It's interesting, I like the concept and the designs of the animals are pretty cool. While the game is good, I have a few ideas which might make it even better! More upgrades or customization options (like changing your colour, core size/design or the thickness of your tentacles) Make the fish respawn (I highly recommend this) Maybe some more special ability upgrades? All we have for these are the dash and extra arm upgrades, and I think it'd be a major improvement to have more variety to the upgrades. Additional HP upgrade Defense upgrade? (Upgrade to take less damage when attacked) Make the speed upgrade make you faster than it does as of now. You are very slow in game and the speed upgrade doesn't do much. Make the upgrades for the dash ability do more. These are all of the ideas I have as of now. If I get more, I'll come back and edit this. These are just friendly suggestions and are entirely based off of my opinion and mine alone. Do not feel like I am trying to force you to add these. However, I would feel honoured if I were to stumble back into this game and find any of these changes added. Thank you for your time.
It was actually a "pass the game" jam where the next person continues to work on the game, I was 3rd. It made it into day 6 (last) of the jam and many people decided to build upon my version so now theres a few "final" Octaliens. Here's a cool website showing how all games branched and Octalien being the biggest one https://vykri.com/pass-the-game-2023/
Oh. Lol. I kinda figured that out almost immediately after I sent the feedback, so womp womp. Your welcome though! I guess you learn from accidents too.
Am I supposed to be able to jump into the sky and swim/fly into oblivion? Anyway I love the new fish, especially the Grim Reaper one who chases you down relentlessly when you encounter it.

Love the new fish!! (I wanted to make some too but I didn't have time after the UI stuff and level expansion) :D
Nice work!
This is amazing, you've improved the game so much: the camera, the healthbars all the new fish and you made the fish give you food. I love it!
Thanks! Making new fishes was the best part
Oh yes! You fixed the camera I was hoping someone would do that
