Who knew that octopi could fly? Octonaut takes to the skies with eight small, yet mighty legs and a variety of weapons to fire at his enemies. But will he be able to save humanity from total annihilation?
As the world gets taken over by an alien race, humanity calls out for help! Save the world from alien invasion by shooting and dodging your way through 8 action-packed levels with sinister bosses! Collect a variety of power-ups including lasers, bowling balls and ninja stars to take down enemies and defend the planet.
Game features:
- Play in Normal Mode with 1000 shield and 3 lives, letting you recover if you don’t take another hit too quickly.
- Test your skill in Panic Mode with only a shield power-up and no HP, allowing only 2 hits before you’re cooked!
- Design your own challenge with Custom Mode to set max shield, lives, weapon, starting level and more.
- Enjoy a more casual experience in Assist Mode, cutting all damage in half.
Octonaut will be out for the Playstation 4 in America on June 23. Worldwide release for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One will be on June 24. Nintendo Switch users can expect the game to be released the next day, June 25.
