OctoPop!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
OctoPop is a juicy underwater twin-stick shooter where you play as a cute octopus named Octo.
After a chemical leak in Octo’s lagoon, the tiny octopus must defend against waves of soulless enemies. This won’t stop Octo’s passion for seashells though! Help Octo collect the more you can.
How to Play:
Did you know octopuses have 3 hearts? Well, they really do! But don’t get hit more than three times or you’ll be feeding the fish… Remember to use your swirl when situation gets too tense, and you can always dash if you have no swirl left, but make sure your path is clear!
Only Octo’s head is vulnerable, don’t worry too much about your tentacles.
Collect seashells to increase your score exponentially.
Navigate to the Controls menu to select gamepad or mouse & keyboard input.
Development:
OctoPop is my first attempt at Unity and game development in general. No assets were used, I made everything from the sprites to the sound design.
OctoPop game mechanics are heavily inspired by Bizarre Creations’ Geometry Wars but in a totally different setting and with a bit of bullet hell to spice things up.
It’s a very early release and I’d like to continue working on this project, so please consider supporting through donation. Please report any bug you encounter and I’ll be glad to take any suggestion or critisicm you may have to improve the game.
Here’s the roadmap for future versions:
- Make it the best 3D twin stick shooter ever.
Here is quick peak at the next version cooking
Tank you for playing ! pew pew :3

Your comment really brings me joy 🤗
The little pink bullets were already in my mind, I’ll try to come up with some improvement. And I’m making an immunity bubble arround Octo when it spawns to address your second point. That’s a standard for shooters but it didn’t came to my mind until now lol.
Thank you!
Thank you,
