Takelshin

Takelshin is a 2D platformer in the style of 8- and 16-bit classics. You play as Takelshin, a little octopus girl who travels through stages such as deep waters and colorful autumn forests to reach a flying pirate ship and rescue her younger baby siblings from pirate lady Scallywag Sally.

Intakelactic Adventure

The game includes an expansion pack that you can activate from the main menu. In this adventure, small alien creatures steal Takelshin’s “yummy donut,” sending her deep into space.

Stages and challenges

Across the main game and expansion, there are more than 30 stages, including secret worlds and bonus games. You face over 15 different enemy types and 7 bosses, with 3 difficulty levels; the hardest must be unlocked.

A combo system lets you pursue high scores, and scores are saved automatically after each completed stage. A tutorial is included, and the game can be controlled with a gamepad’s dual sticks or directional pad, or with a keyboard.
