Octopede has nommed it's way into the Xbox 360 database. Grab it now for only 80 Microsoft Points!

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.

Eating the precious data extends Octopede's tail piece by piece. Successfully collecting 8 tail pieces gives the player the chance to crank up their bonus multiplier by 'caching' their tail.

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 Octopede a truly intense experience. Watch the release trailer on YoueTube to see it in action for yourself!
