    Hi everyone!

    Microsoft closed our studio Press Play back in March, but in June we started again with a new studio called Flashbulb Games. We have acquired the rights to our previously Microsoft-exclusive games and look forward to releasing them on iOS. The first one of these is Tentacles: Enter the Mind!

    You are invited into the mind of a mad professor for an all-you-can-eat eyeball buffet.

    Dr. Phluff’s obsession with everything cute has driven him mad, and only you can save him. Tap your way through the layers of the professor’s amazingly twisted mind. Set in a captivating 3D world, odd monsters hide behind every corner. Explore the many creepy layers of Dr. Phluff’s mind from his Paranoia to his Super-Ego and beyond. Dispatch enemies, collect squishy eyeballs and secret eggs, gain powers and abilities, and compete against your friends.

    Features:
    -TWICE the limbs of a regular endless runner
    -A professor with the head of a dolphin
    -Explore Guilt, Hysteria, Shame and Regret
    -Upgrade your powers and tentacles
    -Achievements, Leaderboards and Hats

    We are going to Soft Launch on October 12 in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Ireland and New Zealand. If you have an App Store account in any of those countries, I hope you'll join us :)

    Hey guys!

    So happy you all remember Enter the Dolphin. I think you're going to be pleased with this :)

    @yankeeblue000 We will launch it in the US store as soon as we're done polishing it in Soft Launch. We want to be completely sure that there are no bugs in it first.

    @Jayg2015 It will be free to play with optional in-app purchases both in soft launch and afterwards.

    So if this is a endless runner then does that mean it sorta rogue-like in that upgrades and progression wipe on death?

    Hi guys!

    The game is still not through Apple's review. Crossing our fingers that it will be ready for Thursday - if not, we will just release it as soon as it's through the review.

    @dreadnok - We're cloud saving progress on our own servers but via Gamecenter login. If everything works the way it's supposed to, you will be able to keep your progress when moving from NZ to US builds.

    @JackDerp - I think "sorta rogue-like" is about right. When you die, you lose your progress in the tier/layer of the mind you have reached and you lose all your buffs. You keep your upgrades and coins.

    @extreme472000 - We're using a backend service to cloud save progress so you shouldn't lose your progress when US version comes out. As long as you log in with Game Center.

    @yankeeblue000 - No the game will be free to play with in-app purchases. We do expect to release some Premium games soon, but they will not be Tentacles-related :)

    I was hoping there was a premium option for this game I don't really play to many f2p games but I remember liking the original one so I guess I can give this a shot You have to do what you have to do to try to make it in this finicky business, am I right? I hope it does well so you guys can invest in some quality premium games There's talent there so I know you can make it happen if given the financial freedom to do so. Thanks guys.
