TentaCat: The Lost Lineage
ABOUT
TentaCat: The Lost Lineage is a retro 16-bit styled action platformer that introduces players to Aqua, an exceptional octopus-cat hybrid discovered as an egg on a secluded island by traveling merchants. Acquired by the scientist Dr. Schenkenberg, Aqua is raised as his own child. Estranged from his species, Aqua, and Dr. Schenkenberg embark on a journey to revisit our main character's birthplace. Spanning 14 meticulously crafted levels, players will navigate through various obstacles, collecting distinctive items and power-ups, and fight various bosses as they unravel the enigma surrounding the elusive TentaCats on the mysterious island.
This is a demo for my first game project, which I started back in March of 2018 and only includes the first two levels. Please look forward to updates to the game on the official TentaCat Twitter Page as I continue development.

Thank you for the kind words!
Nice! I love this! Very good work :) I'm gonna add it to my cute animals collection
Good job man! I enjoyed playing this..cute tunes, graphics, and the movement is tight.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Looks good!
Thank you!
I have to say, I'm not a fan of one-hit-wonders in video games. Otherwise it looks cool.
Awesome game! I did find a bug. I fell into the first pit and I could keep running and shooting but under the world. I could hear the shots but couldn't see the character. I believe it was the way I fell, against the right wall and I repeatedly jumped as I fell.
Which stage? I've encountered that issue 1-2 times, but I have a hard time trying to replicate it. I'll be sure to look out for the issue so it may be fixed!
stage 1
Love it

First levelThis was amazing. and it's free! All I had to do was search up 16 bit platformers. Thanks for such an amazing game.Thank you for trying my game out!
