The tentacle is a flexible limb, usually found on sea animals. Commonly used for grasping and moving around with its suction-like pads.
About the tentacle:
- The tentacle replaces both hands
- The tentacle can only be used in conjunction with the glass shards
- Use of this limb triggers a timed puzzle, and when completed, a dream capsule releases.
The beginning concept for how the limbs will look on the simplistic character:
For each generation of the tentacle, only the colour changes to differentiate them one by one. Please note: If I had more time, the tentacles may have changed in design.
Each generation of Tentacle enables the player to achieve more and more. Generations can be unlocked by earning enough dream capsules.
The stats and advantages from a generation are as follows:
GENERATION 1 TENTACLE:
- Puzzle solving time of 3.5 seconds from when the limb is attached
- 30% change of a dream capsule drop when completing the puzzle
GENERATION 2 TENTACLE:
- Puzzle solving time of 4 seconds from when the limb is attached
- 45% chance of a dream capsule drop when completing the puzzle
GENERATION 3 TENTACLE:
- Puzzle solving time of 4.5 seconds from when the limb is attached
- 60% chance of a dream capsule drop when completing the puzzle
GENERATION 4 TENTACLE:
- Puzzle solving time of 5 seconds from when the limb is attached
- 75% chance of a dream capsule drop when completing the puzzle
GENERATION 5 TENTACLE:
- Puzzle solving time increased to 5.5 seconds from when the limb is attached
- A guaranteed dream capsule drop every time this puzzle is completed
These timings are still subject to change with more playtesting, but as the game goes on the time becomes more stress induced.
