Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako is a action-platformer with automatic side-scrolling and semi-procedurally generated 2D environments. There are people to save, enemies/bosses to fight, and powers to use such as the ability to spit ink and paralyze foes.

A demo can be found on the game’s IndieDB page. Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako will eventually be released on the Wii U eShop sometime after its completion.
