Recent reviews by Tiny Octopus

Things I have learned in playing 10 hours of The Cycle: Frontier.

1. People are lying bastards. Just because they say they're friendly does not mean you turn your back on them. Because the minute you do, that's when you get shot about fifty times in the ass and sent back to the station without the 8 flawed veltacite you needed to complete that one quest.

2. Just run away from the monsters.
2.a. Except for the striders, the little squat dudes. They will run you down and swarm you like you were the last marble in a high-stakes game of Hungry Hungry Hippo.

3. Exploding ticks hurt. A lot.

4. When the evac ship comes, don't run out right away and hop on board thinking you're safe. Some people (see #1) will camp evac sites just so they can shoot you and steal your 4 copper wires that you needed for that quarters upgrade. Wait until the ship says it's lifting off and that little red bar is about half full before you sprint to the door like you're Ben Stiller running across the bridge for the chopper.

5. I have no idea why Marauders are called Jeff. But they are.

6. To misquote Doctor Cox, People are bastardy chocolate covered bastards with a bastardy filling. Yeah, [REDACTED], thanks for sniping me as I was running across the beach two seconds after I got out of my drop pod.

7. Knife runs are a lot of fun. This is where you drop with a backpack and maybe a couple of healing stims and see what you can come back with. Sometimes you get lucky and get some awesome loot. Sometimes you get jumped by two players with all purple gear who apparently are really bored.

So that's it for the first 10 hours I played. 10/10 would recommend to almost everyone.

Look. This is Tiny Octopus and this is one of my favorite games on Steam. (duh.) If you ever wanted to know the trials and tribulations of walking around on four legs when you should be on eight, or trying to keep from being made into Odori-dun by some psychopathic chef, this is the game for you. Whether Tiny Octopus is hurling apples at people's heads or dumping chocolate milk all over the carpet, this game is as accurate a presentation of what it's like to be a cephalopod out of water.

Keep at it. You can do it. Soon, you'll understand what it is to be an octopus, and when we rise from the oceans, you will be ready to accept us as your cephalopodian overlords. Just, no lemons, and no calimari.
