## About This Game
If you love old style, pure of heart out-and-out arcade gaming, you and My
Nuclear Octopus may just be on the verge of a beautiful friendship.

NOTE: Due to a lot of flashing lights, this game is NOT recommended for folks
with any photosensitive medical conditions.

Walking into an amusement arcade during the 1980’s overwhelmed your senses.
The audio from every arcade machine screamed out for attention, each one
fighting to grab the passer by, begging for you to feed it with coins.

My Nuclear Octopus is what might have happened had I been born a few years
earlier and landed a job designing arcade games in 1984. It’s loud, it’s
simple to pick up and it’s tough as old badgers. The graphics are crunchy old
sprites, something you might see in an old Commodore 64 game, a BBC Micro game
or maybe even an 80’s arcade.

The logic is simple – you play for a few minutes, you get as far as you can,
the game ends. Next time, you play again and try to beat your score. Somewhere
along the way, the rest of the world disappears and you find yourself one with
the Octopus, in some kind of harmony with the game as, for a short time at
least, 100% of your focus goes into keeping back the marauders from another
dimension.

Lose yourself for a short time, just like we did in the old days.

The story so far:
Octopi is under attack! A space dimension portal has been opened and strange
beasts from the 1% dimension are getting through. It’s all up to my Nuclear
Octopus to save the universe, using its magical ink to send them back to their
own dimension.
