About the Game

Nobody knows where they came from. But they are here, and they want every one of us. Survivors must band together to survive - and maybe even banish the squid menace altogether. Though the Planetary Emergency Force is too busy striking the enemy where it hurts to protect everyone, they can supply us with Weapons and Support in return for Squid Samples. All that's left is to slay the enemy and save as many as we can, before it's too late.

Survive the Squids is a survivors-like focused on building a squad of survivors. Start with one survivor, and as the game progresses pick up more to add to the squad. Squad members can be armed with a variety of weapons (5 in total!). As the player kills Squids, they will drop Squid Samples - when enough of these have been collected it will trigger a level up, allowing the player to select a variety of upgrades such as Shotgun Shells, Chain-Fed Ammo, and more. Survive as long as you can to get the best high score!

  • Recruit up to 4 squad members
  • Collect Squid Samples to earn new gear
  • Equip your squad they way you'd like
  • Simple, action-packed gameplay that still scratches that squad-based, army-building itch
