About the Game

An underwater lab. Relentless testing. 8 Guns.

It's time to take your revenge.

Revenge of the Killer Octopus is a level-based shooter all about fighting hordes of enemies in order to take your vengeance on the scientists who have kept you imprisoned for so long. Shoot through waves of enemies as you try to find your method of escape from this sci-fi nightmare.

Student Project
RotKO is a capstone game made by Messy Bed Productions, a 24-student team from the University of Utah's Entertainment Arts and Engineering program. For all of us, it is our first game published to Steam. The music was made in partnership with students from Berklee College of Music.

Take Your Vengeance!
You've been trapped within this lab for so long. It's finally time to break free. Thanks to an intelligence enhancing serum, you can use the power of your 8 guns and miraculous grappling tentacle to shoot down those dastardly scientists that dared to keep you imprisoned!

Possess Their Minds
Swing onto an enemy's head in order to take over their body and mind for a limited time! Use their fleshy meat-bodies as a shield to prevent yourself from dying, and suffuse your life with theirs with every foe captured!

Take Back Your Life
Slaughter your way through the lab, or face the consequences of failure. Will you decimate your scientist foes, or will you become sushi?
