Arcade Horror-Reader Review

GW Octopus
Reviewed on Ipod/Itouch
by Retroman

As stated in my GW helmet I’m only going to talk about how the game plays as I have covered on how these games look and sound.

The aim of the game is to take as much gold as you can from the octopuses garden while avoiding its tentacles. Once you lose any of your men (Sorry no seamen jokes here.) it is possible to get them back by grabbing more gold than normal. You do have unlimited time to get gold from the octopuses garden (No octopussy jokes either.) if you avoid the tentacles ( I know what your thinking, get your mind out of the gutter.) and if you get to your boat you get double the score.(Don’t make me tell you again.)

Tap buttons – This actually works really well for this game, feels a bit more responsive than the controls on GW helmet The only downfall is you can miss the spot you are suppose to press (I’m not going to sink that low.) are invisible.

Tap position –This mode worked a lot better in GW helmet, I found my self frustrated trying to avoided being grabbed by those big slimy tentacles.(ok, I put that one in on purpose.)
Avoid this mode if you could.

Tilt – I’m quite impressed with tilt, it feels very responsive and fast but it can be a bit too fast at times.

Octopus also recently came out on Ds as a part of the game & watch collection 2 which was available to Japanese club Nintendo members, which you can probably find on Ebay or play Asia.

You can get this game from the itunes app store for $1.99US ($2.49 on the Australian app store.), so it’s not free like GW helmet. Would only recommend buying if you’re really into game & watch games but really $1.99 doesn’t sound bad for a game like this. Well, I enjoyed it.

I give GW Octopus a 3.5/5. Also, to all of those who thought I put in some lame innuendo about tentacles, seamen, octopussies and scoring, well I won’t say anything.
