Thx Robert, those were different times at CSDb. And the fact that my first emu-lamer versions of this demo didn't work on a real c64 didn't help either. Still, maybe Mermaid and I can do a collaboration again some day, if time allows.

Another demo that I somehow missed..! And it’s sooo cool. Love the twisty tentacles. Very very nice. The CSDb score right now is 7.5.. shocking, this really deserves more - whoever that is with the 3 vote, shame on you. Shame.

We need MORE from Hein and Mermaid. Much much more.

Loved the music in the unfixed version running on a C64... Still a proper hit in vice though :)

I saw a similarity when this first got released, but there are differences of course. This is an oustanding product. It's small. It fits your pocket. It fits the screen. It blends nicely in the background. It survives the focus. I wish more people would take up this format again and make smaller demos.

Come on guys. A release that doesn't run on a real C64 is no proper C64 release. Make a fix - and not a "ihopefix" ;)

very fresh presentation of already cliched effect. i agree that it deserves to be a part of bigger production.

The bugfixedihope version still does not run on a real C64, just like the first version: only music, but the screen stays blank.
Pleeeease everybody
1) Test your new stuff on the real thing before releasing, or if you can't, ask someone to do it.
2) Report such this things to the developpers of your emulator.

If I was not a vegetarian, octopus would be my favorite meal. Anyway, cool idea with the moving arms.

Funny... the other day I was thinking "is there a single demo that has a recipe for food in it?"
Now I know there is, and a funny one too :)

Oswald, indeed. A tiny bit too tightly timed, crashing the border flipflop.
User Comment
Submitted by Oswald on 6 December 2008
2 the bug: looks like "badline-less" mode. if you miss to open the borders in any frame the screen will close. prolly that happens.
User Comment
Submitted by Hein on 6 December 2008
Heh, one for the goof, Ptoing. Not tested on a real c64. Maybe later I will upload a new (fixed) version, if other people crash into the same issue, which most likely will happen.

Nice effect, tho it does not run on my C64-II, or at least there I only hear music and see a black screen.

Cool and atmospheric music... The music is definately based on the atmosphere and I like it... Nice twisting octopus... Looking forward to seeing more from you two!

Amazing animation of the Octopus and i really like how it´s painted, the music fits perfect to the demo.

I wished some blue bubbles would move up and some little fishes would swim around the Octopus. Maybe in Octopus II with bacon and fried potatoes. :-D

Good work !
