  • Summary: The 2D Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character is a twitchy, fast paced platform game which you control with just two buttons. Rotating Octopus Character can't stop spinning, and he sticks to everything, but he can change direction, and he can jump. So, armed with those two moves - Reverse, and Jump - you're tasked with helping ROC to collect all the baby octopi who have been so unfortunately scattered all over the world. The videogame world is full of hazards for a spinning octopus, too, so it's not just a case of jump-and-grab. Timing is everything to avoid sending ROC hurtling to his doom. Expand

    Like Tetris the gameplay mechanics are easy to learn, but the 70 levels are difficult to solve – addictive gameplay, especially in the challenge mode! A must-have mini for every collection.

    Addictive and frustrating, cute and challenging, lovable one moment and the very embodiment of hate the next. [Issue#111, p.110]
  4. A bit like go-karting. [May 2013, p.109]

  1. I love simplicity. This game is a perfect example of that. The balance on the level difficulty is just right and simple here does not necessarily mean easy. The big problem thought is the lack of saves in between each levels. It will only save when you complete the set. I would not want the game to be easier, but one thing I hate is to have to replay over and over the same levels I have already done. For this reason I won't be playing this game again, but it's a shame because I really did like the game play. Expand
