About this game

Deep in the ocean, there is an octopus lurking. A shark approaches. Will your octopus try to eat the shark? Or flee? Its life is in your hands now.
Care for an octopus and help it to thrive. But stay on your toes, it’s an octopus-eat-octopus world out there, and you might not guess who’s a threat.

Ratings and reviews

I really like it! Educational and interesting. I'm surprised at how many large creatures an octopus can eat. Everytime I would be wiped out by fishing, but that just goes to show how much damage human actions have on populations. I do recommend, if you are thinking about continuing improvements, maybe a goal other than survival, could be reproduction? Surviving long enough until the next generation is born! Also, maybe a short comparison between the three octopus and thier names?

This app is a simple and informative game that teaches you about Australian octopuses. The game play is very repetitive though so I don't think it has much replay value. Perhaps if there were more functions like exploring the environment or a trivia or puzzle mode. One thing that annoyed me was that you can't change the camera angle and so you are always looking at the back of your octopuses head. I would have liked to see what their faces looked like. This app has a lot of potential.

You can really tell that the animators were having fun playing with the models lol
