Octopede brings a 70's arcade classic to the 21st century! In Octopede, you play as a lone computer program in the desperate search for more megabytes. With more ‘data’ eaten, the system becomes increasingly more aware of your presence, sending out enemies and obstacles to try and eradicate you. Equipped with a large array of weaponry ‘the worm’ must blast its way through hordes of deadly virus, bugs and glitches to collect the data rich discs. Traverse the system interface in 8 directions to manoeuvre around treacherous firewalls and deadly enemies. For those tough enough to fight their way through the system, deadlier foes await you. Only those that can show true heroic dedication and true skill can then go on to face 'The Core'! Manic gameplay, shiny neon graphics and 8-bit style music and sound effects make for a truly intense experience. Many press reviews for Octopede can be found on our site at www.orbitalgames.co.uk/press

We are trying to secure funding so that the development of Octopede can flourish. Ideally we would like to continue development at a fast rate whilst keeping the overall quality of the game high. Your contributions to the project will go towards several much needed investments. Licensing software, as many indie developers are aware, is an expensive business. We are currently using several free to use software packages that can be found on the web, however these are limited in features and support, so we would like to upgrade to using professional level software.

Funding Octopede will ultimately aid in the success of its development. Being 3 recent university graduates, we need as much help as possible getting our game to the heights it deserves. Even in Alpha phase we can see that Octopede has the potential to be a highly rated and popular video game. For those that grew up with Snake in the arcades or even those that first met it on a Nokia phone, it will provide a fresh yet nostalgic approach to a game concept that has already been very well received throughout the gaming world.

Rewards included free copies of the game for PC and Xbox, commeroritve T-Shirts and badges, or even your name on the Octopede credits.
