The physics are buggy (shooting is not very predictable and several times I fell through the floor or got stuct on an enemy)
I would play it again and again if the physics/controls were fixed :D
Animations are cool.
I like the gory details when your arm flies off :)
I managed to get some distance into the cave, but I kept getting caught by the tentacle without seeing it fly in or when I failed to shoot it.
For the next one I would suggest playtesting the game as early as possible and toning down the difficulty to make sure that the first steps are pretty easy. One tweak you could do is make the tentacle move 1/4th the speed so you only get caught if you stop moving forward for a while.
Sidenote, if you've never played Plok, you should.
Overall, however, it is a charming little thing. The graphics were cute and the sounds went along well.
Still, graphics and audio are cool and the base concept is pretty nice :)
