The controls were hard to use for me and of course it wasn't finished, but I will certainly be returning to play the updated version. In the meantime, I love the graphics.

I've updated the description to hopefully clarify how to deploy a tentacle.  Basically, you have to start your click on one of the Leftmost or Rightmost buildings, and drag to adjacent buildings.

The final game rules will generally borrow from Snake; you will attack\/defend with tentacles, and protect key buildings that your 'cultists' erect to feed you more tentacle power.

A future version WILL include online play, tentacle interaction, health and tentacle meters, friendly cultist spires, and fulfillment of the game's horrible destiny! \r\nIn the meantime, you can send out tentacles and smash a few buildings.\r\n\r\nWEB VERSION? The web version had some compile errors and will have to be uploaded at some point in the future.
