WP7 DotW: June 13th, 2012

A difficult platformer is marked down again this week

Written by Suyomizzle on 13 June 12 at 19:04

This week a repeat Deal of the Week appears for those who missed out the first time.

Tentacles (WP) - $2.99 / £2.29 $1.99 / £1.49

Tap the screen in Tentacles and experience 40 finger breaking levels, amazing boss fights and marvel at the truly ground breaking and intuitive gameplay.

Think fast, move smart, keep eating. Enemies stand in your way and you must rip out their eyeballs as you attempt to defeat mad scientist Dr. Phluff. Where will this final battle take place? Have a guess. Nope, not even close!!

Dr. Phluff has always meddled with the order of nature and this time he sought to create the cutest animal ever conceived. He failed. In a disastrous but not entirely unexpected turn of events his experiment was a catastrophe and he created a being of darkness. Black, heartless and with zero desire to be nice, kind, or worse of all cute. Yes, he created YOU! A slimy black blob with three tentacles, a claw, and a never ending appetite for eyeballs.

Tentacles is a completely new take on the platform genre. Use your tentacles to make your way through Dr. Phluff. Yes, that’s right, you’re actually inside him. It is a ghoulish and ghastly world inhabited by other genetically modified monsters created by Dr. Phluff’s experiments. Guess what, they’re all hungry and you just made the menu. Use your tentacle skills to outrun Dr. Phluff’s acid attacks and face off against bad-ass creatures in awesome boss battles.
You can find the game on the Marketplace here.

I bought this at the normal price and it was worth it, a great title for the WP. I like to post useful things about the game...

Good game, but difficult is definitely right! For £1.49, I'd recommend it, but don't expect an easy 200G.

Great game, bought it last time it was DOTW. Difficult, but not impossible. Great game for fans of the genre.

I found it to be enjoyable and a reasonable 200.

Keep in mind that this game premiered at $4.99, went to DotW for $2.99 awhile back, then later was price dropped to $2.99. This week is the cheapest it has ever been.

I have this game downloaded but haven’t started it yet…I will some day. If we want original games on Windows Phone then we need to support them, otherwise we’ll just get iOS ports or mini versions of console IPs.

It is also quite time consuming to get 200 (I haven't got it yet, but I've played it quite a bit and I'm not even close to 200). It's kinda difficult, but not in an awesome way like the DoDonPachi WP game.

My 6 year old kid actually completed the majority of this game, long after i got sick of it. So it's definitely doable.

There are a few very frustrating levels when going for the completion. But it is definitely possible, One thing to keep in mind is that you do not have to get all 3 stars in 1 play through. Focus on 1 start each time though the level. Easy mode made it a LOT easier to get the collectable and challenge stars. By then you should know the levels enough to get through them on Normal without dying.

It is time consuming, but I enjoyed it, even if it was punishing at times.

Are you guys crazy? This game is awesome!!!!! My favourite WP title by FAR! This game is very innovative and IMHO is a real gem.. It certainly gives a nice breath of fresh air onto the platform compared to most other crummy titles. The controls work fantastically, the audio and vibrant graphics are beautiful. It's fairly challenging yet tons of fun. I really have no idea how anybody wouldn't like it.. Care to elaborate on why it's so bad?
I got the 200 a while back and enjoyed every minute, for anybody who hasn't got this yet, £1.50 is an absolute STEAL!!
