    It is the year 199X, and the world has been destroyed like it's an anime. Use your brave tiny octopus robot to traverse a Japan frozen in time and place to defeat the evil Dr. Prometheus in this 90's-inspired and 2020-made action game full of neon, lasers, and tiny robots.

    Bring back the '90s: inspired by the classic 1990's game Jumping Flash! and Pilot Wings . Forza Polpo is a pretty hardcore arcade/sim/platform game. The world and story are 90's though - with love for the lost decade.

    Force Octopus was quite enjoyable. It's not a masterpiece, but it's one of those games that cleverly takes an underexplored concept and builds a new experience upon it, resulting in something somewhat unique. Perhaps more could have been done with the enemies, and maybe a less rigid way of entering the game could have been devised, but overall, it works, especially considering its very low price. Give it a chance, especially if you loved Jumping Flash.

    Forza Polpo! channels the delights of 1995’s Jumping Flash!, as you guide a mechanized creature capable of leaping over skyscrapers. Thirty years on, some of the difficulties of first-person soaring and firefights haven’t been remedied. But when the sky is the limit, a few faults can be forgiven.
