Recover Radioactive Waste from a Sunken Submarine with Octopus

Looking for a quick time waster while you’re waiting in line at the grocery store or for your friends at that bus stop bench? Check out Octopus, an imaginative mini-game that has you recovering test tubes of radioactive waste for loads of cash.

The problem is, there’s a giant octopus impeding your path. Yes it wants to eat you. Yes you have to avoid it. The premise of the game is that you swim to the bottom of the sea using the left or right arrows, gather your treasure, and try to make it back to the surface without being snatched alive. You have three divers at your disposal, but trust me - they won’t last for long.
