Disclaimer: Times submitted to the Online Beta Leaderboard will NOT carry over when the online feature is fully released.

While the game is meant to be difficult, many of the challenges presented in the latter half of world 1 were more difficult than intended for that stage of the game, so were making most of those levels easier.

Spikeridge Pathway

Spikeridge Pathway is still too much of a difficulty spike for our liking, so were adjusting the distances to certain spike walls that have been causing frustration.

• Adjusted the positions of the spike walls and the second broken platform in the segment after Checkpoint 2.

  [/*]

• Made the wall next to the small grass platform after Checkpoint 3 bigger.

  [/*]

• Moved the pointy wall next to the broken platform after Checkpoint 4 away to give more space for arm adjustment.

  [/*]

• Added wooden platforms connecting the small grass platforms right before Checkpoint 5.

  [/*]

• Added more space to the grass platform after the Pearl segment between Checkpoint 5 & 6.

  [/*]

• Also added wooden platforms connecting the grass platforms leading to Checkpoint 6.

  [/*]

• Removed some of the spikes next to the middle wooden platform in the last segment. Its now possible to stand on that platform with neutral arm length.

  [/*]

• Moved the Starfish away from the spike walls at the end of the level.

  [/*]

A Cloud Away

A Cloud Away is the first time-sensitive level in the game, and that alone seems to be difficult enough, so were trimming down some of the spike walls to make it easier to traverse.

• Made the following changes to the segment between the start and Checkpoint 1:

  [list]

• Made the first spike wall encountered in the level smaller.

  [/*]

• Moved the spike walls found on the left further to the left.

  [/*]

• Moved the spike walls found right before the first checkpoint a little to the right.

  [/*]

Destructive Learnings

Destructive Learnings was never meant to be as tricky as it currently is, so were moving some spike walls and adjusting the positions of platforms to make some segments easier to understand.

• Moved some of the spike walls between Checkpoint 4 & 5 that could cause an unavoidable death if a swap was made near them even if the arms were fully retracted.

  [/*]

• Made the following changes to the segment between Checkpoint 5 & 6:

  [list]

• Moved the living platform and its Checkpoint (5) closer to Checkpoint 6, to decrease waiting time after respawning.

  [/*]

• Moved the broken platform closer to Checkpoint 6.

  [/*]

• Widened the wooden platform at the end of the segment to allow for emergency swaps.

  [/*]

A Quest to Fetch

A Quest to Fetch is a long level that requires a lot of thinking, and on top of that, some tight inputs. Combined it makes for an exhausting level to play, so were widening the margin of error to put the emphasis on the thinking aspect.

• Adjusted two of the rock walls before the first Checkpoint to be less punishing to hit.

  [/*]

• Made the following changes to the segment between Checkpoint 2 & 3:

  [list]

• Moved the spike wall next to the first cloud to give more room to spin.

  [/*]

• The pushing enemies now move in the opposite direction.

  [/*]

• Pushed back the two broken platforms next to the two clouds a little to give more room to spin.

  [/*]

A Spiky Rescue

A Spiky Rescues main theme is smashing walls under pressure, either from the enemies chasing you, or the cloud carrying you into spiky walls. However, the difficulty of the theme is a bit too intense, especially in co-op, so were toning it down a notch.

• Made the following changes to the segment between Checkpoint 3 & 4:

  [list]

• Removed the wall to the right of Checkpoint 3.

  [/*]

• Made the cloud trip longer, spacing out the spiky pillars more to increase reaction time.

  [/*]

• Adjusted the walls on both sides of the clouds passage to accommodate the above change.

  [/*]

The Cloudy Cove

The Cloudy Cove features several gauntlets of enemies to get through, which is difficult on its own, so were scaling down the difficulty of the surrounding parts in some of those fights.

• Made the following changes to the segment between Checkpoint 2 & 3:

  [list]

• Added a new checkpoint underneath the first flying enemy.

  [/*]

• Removed the spiky walls next to the first flying enemys platform.

  [/*]

• Adjusted the platforms to accommodate for the new checkpoint.

  [/*]

• Moved the second flying enemy and its island further back.

  [/*]

Walking the Plank

The start of the ending segment in Walking the Plank had little room for error to the point of frustration. So were dividing the broken platforms into smaller chunks to help mitigate that.

• Doubled the amount of smaller broken platforms alongside the rock wall in the ending segment.

  [/*]

Watch our sound designer, Benji, and level designer, Daniel, play through some prototype levels to see if they're good enough to be added to the final version of the game.

This is a pre-recorded stream

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

Indie fest is ON! Catch the Six One Indie Showcase from May 22-26. Watch Dan and Benji try to survive their own game!
