About
Embark on a grand adventure worthy of a true animated movie with Darwin, an octopus as charming as he is clever, ripped from the ocean and trapped in a massive and mysterious industrial complex. With his extraordinary intelligence and incredible abilities – swimming, camouflage, and many other fascinating skills – help him overcome the most formidable traps and dangers in this captivating platformer, adventure, and puzzle game.
In the peaceful vastness of the ocean, Darwin, a young octopus, explores the deep sea… until a strange beam of light pierces the abyss and pulls him toward the surface. Thrust out of his aquatic world, he wakes up disoriented in the middle of a gigantic junkyard, backed by a foreboding factory.
But something is wrong. Between the threatening machines, strange holding tanks, and the mysterious and dangerous creatures and characters that inhabit the place, Darwin realizes he is in danger. To return to the ocean, Darwin will have to outsmart, evolve, and reveal to the players through his journey the mysteries of a conspiracy that goes beyond anything one could have imagined… and which could very well seal the fate of humanity!

FAZUELI, jogo do lula. Muito bom!
fun
Игра хороша, но умирать задолбало. Для деки не пригодна, даже с профилем не играбельна при такой динамике. Спасибо говорим всеми "любимому" движку, я вообще в шоке от графики из 2000 и с такими требованиями.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Muito bom !! Mecanica diferente e de bom gosto, graficos bons, so falta uma otimização melhor.
It took a couple of attempts getting into it, but turns out this is a funky little game. Won't take up but a few hours to finish, 100% isn't a chore and kinda fun, plus the game looks pretty damn great. Each area has you tackling slight different challenges, from puzzles to platforming, and makes for a solid package that leaves things open for a sequel... (hopefully).
Semplicemente spettacolare. Ad ogni capitolo cambiano completamente le meccaniche di gioco e bisogna alternare i due "poteri" per proseguire. Graficamente eccellente, impegnativo il giusto. Impiegato 8 ore per finirlo. Da giocare assolutamente.
fairly short platformer with a fun concept. I found it quite fun, maybe a little pricy but not bad for what you got. worth the purchase. it's kind of like "inside" and limbo just not as foreboding (more funny and light hearted) but still along the same vein of intrigue.
Try it! It's not every day you encounter a game that's so superbly made like this. Hoping for a sequel!
A pesar que el juego esta gráficamente mal optimizado (los gráficos no son fotorealistas y tienen por defecto muchos filtros "artisticos" que sobrecarga el renderizado provocando bajos FPS) y esto hace que la experiencia de juegabilidad se vea afectada por cuanto es un juego que requiere bastante precisión y movimientos fluidos, es un juego entretenido, con muchas referencias divertidas a la cultura Pop de ciencia ficción y lleno de "rompecabezas y acertijos" que resultan satisfactorios una vez son completados pero que también pueden ser frustantes por que constantemente uno esta muriendo una y otra vez. El juego no es tan largo y vale la pena luego de configurarlo graficamente para que dé el mayor rendimiento posible. Aún así los desarrolladores deberían hacer un mejor trabajo de optimización.
Es handelt sich um ein wirklich schönes, cleveres und lustiges kleines Spiel, das man an einem längeren Nachmittag oder Abend entspannt durchspielen kann. Die Anspielungen an Filme wie Mars Attacks und deren Vorbilder sorgen immer wieder für ein Schmunzeln im Gesicht. Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir, auch zum "Vollpreis".
