We're happy to announce that Tentacle Tango is part of the Made In Sweden lineup this summer. While tango might not be a strong Swedish dance tradition, we think you'll notice the game's Swedish roots in some of its wild landscapes and environments.

In this stream, you can follow designers Dan and Benji as they struggle to master the two intertwined octopuses.

We're also getting closer to a definite release date and will share it with you soon!

In the meantime, enjoy the demo!

Cheers, Kristian
