This was originally meant to be a longer narrative game. During development I  realized that was too big of a scope for my first game, so I carried over the squid gun concept into this new shorter game. The original game had a better reflection of the "decay" theme using the siphon mechanic, but I still hope you enjoy this new action packed version!
