The 2D Adventures Of Rotating Octopus Character

Date played: June 22nd

Best. Title. Evar.

This is a Playstation Mini that is part of the Playstation Plus program.  Basically, I got this for free because the PSN was down for a month.  It's a simple platforming game where a funny looking orange 2D Octopus Character rolls around the edges of objects, walls and ceilings and has to collect baby octopus to finish the level.  The character moves on it's own and you only get two buttons.  Jump and change direction.  It seems simple but I think it will get much more complex as it progresses.  I only played through the first part of the game which consists of about eight levels or so.  It's a good little forgettable game that wastes time perfectly.

Oh yeah and the chiptune music is really nice.
