Fight the Tentacle is a tactical shooter lite somewhat inspired by 90's arcade games.

"The man steps into a pitch black alley that he somehow never noticed, despite often passing the area by many times before. Standing in the beam from the last light post he looks ahead into nothingness, as vague slithering movements reach out from the darkness towards the light he is standing in. He puts one hand in his pocket while gesticulating with the other, taunting the being into showing itself. From the pocket he brings out a gun, and as he does, the black alley brightens into some inter-dimensional space with stars rushing by.

NOW they will pay!"

Features:

- Continuous play on an ever out-zooming scene.
- Constant flow of men from the left vs. enemies from the right.
- Guns aplenty, from revolvers and shotguns to a chainsaw and airstrike to more unusual ones.
- Enemies aplenty, with occasional boss/miniboss encounters!
- Taunt the Tentacle for more to shoot, and in turn more points!
- Spend points on weapons. Spend even more points on special weapons, yet go for the hiscore!
- Moody soundtrack.
