New Gameplay Today – Octogeddon
Are you ready to get a little weird? All Yes Good's first game should fit the bill just fine. Join me, Leo Vader, and Ben Reeves as we play Octogeddon, a game where players take control of an angry octopus, hell-bent on destroying humanity.
Octogeddon's controls are dead simple, with players rotating the octopus using one of two buttons. As Leo discovered, there's a surprising amount of depth contained beneath the surface, however. That shouldn't come as a complete shock, considering the game's pedigree. It was designed by the creator of the original Plants vs. Zombies, George Fan, with art from PvZ's lead artist Rich Warner and coding from Kurt Pfeifer, programmer of the Xbox 360 port of PvZ. Whew!
Octogeddon is out today on Steam. For more on the game, check out my interview with its creator from a few years ago.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
