📋 Project Overview

Electric Tentacle is a high-speed arcade dodger set in a pixel-art rendition of retro-futuristic London. Players control a flying tentacle as it escapes government agents, dodges hazards, and collects power-ups to stay airborne and rack up points. The game blends frantic gameplay with a charming visual style and soundtrack.

Built over 6 months, the game launched on both iOS and Android, featuring full leaderboard integration, achievements, and an in-game store offering cosmetic and gameplay enhancements.
