Rinso and the Tenticles of Doom

Posted by AndyH Categories: Arcade, Games Tags: 2D, Game and Watch, Gameboy, Windows

A remake of Octopus on the Game and Watch, converted in glorious cartoon fun!

Take a diver down to retrieve the treasure but watch out for the Octopus’ tenticles.

Rinso and the Tenticles of Doom

Classic Octopus game in cartoon format.

Download

Instructions

Rinso wants treasure…lots of it! There happens to be a great treasure chest deep below on the ocean floor which belongs to the starfish tribe. They put it there to keep the big nasty octopus happy, he likes shiney things!
And that is Rinso’s problem, getting at the treasure without the Octopus catching him. The Octopus thinks Rinso’s suit is nice and shiney too and would love to add his rotting corpse to his collection of treasure!!

Take care and help Rinso collect all the treasure!

Before you start a game, you have the choice of a few options.

* Credits – view the credits LOL!

* Instructions – in game help on how to play

* Detail level – on slower PC’s, you can turn down the detail and animation. There are three settings

* Bomb out – quit the game

* Four levels of difficulty – to the right are four levels of difficulty, from baby level to insane. Play which ever setting gives you the best challenge. Click one of these to start the game.

You start floating in your boat, with three Rinso’s. Press the SHIFT key to jump into the water, but wait for the Octopus’s tenticle to move out the way.

You can swim left and right with the cursor keys.

You can swim up if you repeatidly press the SHIFT key as fast as you can. The faster you press, the quicker you will rise (your suite is heavy you know!)

You can inflate your suit by holding the CTRL key. This will make you rise quickly, but it uses up precious oxygen (O2).

When you are standing on the ocean floor next to the treasure, HOLD down the SHIFT key to get a scoop of treasure, you won’t be let back in to the boat if you return empty handed!

If you empty the treasure chest, don’t worry…some one is sure to come along and top it up.

The more treasure you collect, the angrier the Octopus will become. Watch out, he’ll get harder!
