Copenhagen-based studio Press Play, the creator of Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, have released their next game, Tentacles: Enter the Mind, for Windows Phone and Windows Store, in all countries. The game is the sequel to the award-winning Tentacles: Enter the Dolphin and builds further upon the same innovative gameplay mechanic.
Tentacles: Enter the Mind is another chapter in the crazy story of Dr. Phluff and his tentacled mascot, Lemmy. In this full 3D installment, embark on a journey inside the mad Professor to take out the creatures that have overtaken Phluff, progressing through the many layers of his mind from Super Ego to Paranoia.
“After releasing Tentacles: Enter the Dolphin, we realized that we were far from done with Dr. Phluff and Lemmy. Ideas for bringing the core mechanic into a 3D world kept swirling around and we couldn’t not try them,” Creative Director Ole Teglbjærg explains. “What I am most proud of is the core movement mechanic. I just think there is something truly fascinating about eating eyeballs and moving around with tentacles.”
Tentacles is free to play with in-app purchases and supports cross-platform cloud save so players can play seamlessly between their Windows Store and Windows Phone 8 devices. The game can also be played on low memory phones. Tentacles: Enter the Mind uses Xbox Leaderboards and Xbox Achievements. Achievement hunters can grab up 400 gamerscore points across their Windows Store and Windows Phone 8 devices.
Press Play was founded in 2006 by Mikkel Thorsted, Rune Dittmer, and Ole Teglbjærg just after graduating from university. They spent 6 six years building the studio with Max & the Magic Marker for Wii being their most widely known game and were acquired by Microsoft in 2012. The three founders still run the studio, which now employs a team of 27, and remain focused on mechanic-driven games with beautiful graphics. Their most recent release is the cinematic puzzle platformer Max: the Curse of Brotherhood, an Xbox One launch title.
