The fine folks at Apt Games claim Terror Squid is Norway's first arcade
game. We're not here to contradict that statement, but to tell you a
little bit about this bullet hell game that's easy to understand but
difficult to master.
But first, let's mention Terror Squid will be released on PC and
Nintendo Switch this spring. In fact, you can already wishlist the game
on Steam if you want to be notified when it becomes available for
purchase.
Now, the first thing you see when you start playing Terror Squid is the
unique vector graphics that fit perfectly with the thumping soundtrack
to provide players with a “deliciously terrifying arcade experience.”
“It’s such a simple premise, but we fine-tuned it to have plenty of
tactical, score-chasing depth, and playthroughs are brief and tense
enough to feel like an epic odyssey in the span of a minute. The true
terror is how much time you’ll procrastinate on work playing the damn
thing!” said TERROR SQUID Creative Director Syver Lauritzsen.
In Terror Squid, you play as a cosmic chaotic entity that's spinning
around a dying planet emitting hazardous projectiles. Your objective is
to survive for as long as possible without getting hit by your own
projectiles. If you manage to survive long enough, you'll be able to
release a primordial blast of dark energy which detonates all your
projectiles clearing the map.
It's also worth mentioning Terror Squid draws inspiration from games
like Super Stardust and Devil Daggers, so expect your strategical skills
and reflexes to be put to the test. Are you ready to create your own
bullet hell in Terror Squid? If the answer is yes, pray that you survive
long enough for the primordial blast to charge up.
A little bit of warning though before you're watching the game's
trailer: it's not what you think, so be ready for a nightmarish
surprise.
