Reason

Congratulations for winning the Award for Excellence!

It was amusing to understand that the game is particular about “turning screws” as I proceeded with the game.

While I considered it as a timing game just to push off octopuses, playing was expanded, as I proceeded with the game, to heighten and lower screws and snap then with a spanner aside from unscrewing screws.

It is designed to make me consider from which screw to turn, at which timing to turn, whether to turn clockwise or counterclockwise, and so on. At the same time, the stage and world view were also expanded to make me excited.

The final stage is also designed to win the game exploring the stage to find playing; I was fairly satisfied with the contrivance and volume when I cleared the game.

Furthermore, my heart was made warmer when I found an ending video after clearing the game.

It was good that I could play the game maintaining motivation since I could grasp how to win each stage by repeating playing the stage.

Behavior of the main character when a stage is cleared is very cute and a must see.

Work Introduction

This is a 3D puzzle action game to go for the deepest place pushing off octopuses swarming in remains under the deep sea.

What the creator is particular about is “how to turn screws”.

Stage is cleared when all octopuses hindering exploration are pushed off the remains by turning screws.

How to turn screws and the effect are quite varied.

Sometimes turn a screw to remove the floor to drop octopuses to the bottom of the sea, sometimes turn the screw to rotate the spanner to hit and blow away octopuses.

You can also control the direction of movement of blocks by changing the direction to turn screws. When to turn a screw in which direction is the key to win the game.

You can experience an exceptional sense of mastery when you have efficiently cleared octopuses in a lump determining the timing to push off octopuses and calculating remaining energy while skillfully maintaining your own foothold.

Furthermore, this is a high quality game presenting as many as 20 stages beautifully expressing deep-sea world view that changes gradually as you go deeper.
