Octopus

Mario returns from the record store with his latest haul and puts on his used copy of Octopus by Gentle Giant. The music takes him on a journey.

A beginner hack by a beginner hacker. 8 levels with steadily increasing difficulty, inspired by the 8 songs from the album, each focusing on a different mechanic. No shell jumps or super advanced tech, and trolls are contained to one short level.

This is version 1. I wasn’t able to figure out how to implement custom graphics for the backgrounds or title screen, so if someone could help me with that, I would be extremely grateful.

Also, if anyone plans to stream the game, let me know! I’d love to watch.
