Others - Completed - GANBARE! Tentacle [Final] [haguruma-biscuit]

It plays like an amateur Flash game.

The premise is funny, the mechanics are simple and repetitive, and the game is very easy.

The H scenes are usually 2 slightly different animations. They're censored, and although the tags include anal, none of the animations up to stage 4 included it.

Amazing game

Good art
Bullet-hell with score affecting points for RPG type stat growth
If too difficult you can grind a bit (it isn't very hard) + option to re-specialize
Clothing damage with their own interactions
Gallery + (odd) option to obtained missed scenes

Pretty wacky game but not bad. However, I wish there were more length to it. I don't know who translated this game but it is full of typos lol. You can still understand what's going on though. Ganbare tentacle is easily beatable with a bit of grind.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said apart from the fact that it's a simple bullet hell (and if you unlock a certain skill, a clicking game) that is a bit too short and a bit too simple to really be anything amazing.

You play as a tentacle monster who combats six different girls (or five girls once and another six times) before defeating them and having your way with them. You throw a tentacle out to damage them and have to avoid their projectiles. You can grab them to restore health. The easiest way to get through the game is to stun them using your eye ability and just pummel them into submission. You can upgrade your stats as you progress and it makes the game easier. Completing the entire game shouldn't take more than 30 minutes maybe with boredom from the simple mechanics and a somewhat clunky movement system being your only adversaries.

I didn't think the game was bullet hell enough and didn't really like the movement. It was too slow, not fluid at all and I don't recall grabbing heroines at all because it wasn't really necessary. The H-Scenes themselves are animated but there are only two scenes per girl (apart from the final one) and the differences between the two scenes are very minor.

In short, you can play the game for the different art style and if you want a quick short game but nothing to write home about, really.

GANBARE! Tentacle is a short but sweet 'bullet hell' style game, being a fairly unique title in both gameplay and its premise from what I've played before.

You control a tentacle monster with the goal of subduing various girls across a map who have different methods of attack and patterns to learn. It's nothing tricky, and light RPG mechanics can help even the most unskilled players finish the game, but it's certainly engaging enough to keep you through til the end.

The art is also pretty good aside from censorship, both in the stuff used during the gameplay segments and the rewards for subduing the girls. However, some girls could've used more, and it's certainly something I'd want from a sequel. (Three poses per girl minimum I'd say, not two aside from the final girl.)

Why didn't it get a perfect rating? It's too short with no replay incentives at all, and the English translation is fairly poor even if not the worst I've ever seen.

It's a fine enough game if you're interested in a one session kind of tentacle experience with zero replay value. I clocked in around thirty minutes before being completely done with it alongside another reviewer and I doubt I'd ever touch it again. I would like to see more in this kind of vein though, especially with more girls and perhaps some bonus fights with a higher difficulty for interested and skilled players.

Fun.

ART:

I like this style. Everything is simple and solid and the girls are nice and thicc. They're mostly very uncommonly well-endowed but it works really well with this style.

If anything I'd prefer slightly bolder/darker colors and more belly definition, but it's good enough regardless.

The annoying thing is that the music restarts every time you change views during sex scenes or in the gallery. I feel like whatever that is, there'd be an easy fix, but idk.

I thought for a while that the blue-haired loli would turn out to be a shota.

GAMEPLAY:

It's sluggish at first and there's level grinding that I think is pretty unnecessary given how short the game is, but once you've got your stats to a more tolerable level the game becomes a pretty fun and engaging arena shooter.

You can fondle the girls in combat to restore some of your health, but most of the sex happens after you beat them, and the controls are convenient and you can take as much time as you want to watch the show.

Another reviewer called this "bullet heck" and I think that's hilarious and a perfect description. It's bullet hell, but easier.

STORY:

All the text is hilariously poorly translated, and that adds to the charm as this game clearly isn't taking itself very seriously at all.

CONCLUSION:

It's a good little game that accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, nothing more, nothing less. If any of this looks interesting, then go for it.

Small game, fun if you got 30 minutes to kill. I guess the closest I can describe the gameplay as baby's first bullet hell (I wanna call it bullet heck) With some light rpg elements that a more skilled man could probably do without, but I found upgrading with the points you get just going through the missions once to be enough in all but a couple of stages. I don't normally go in for games featuring violating people when you're the only one doing it. (normally I like it the other way around) But the game was entertaining enough for it's short runtime on it's own, sex was just a bonus.

This GAME is enjoyable. The porn part could be skipped, or in fast forward. But you would go to the next level because you enjoy the gameplay.

Now, breakdown how you play. You are tentacle, you have range attack (to strike from far), get near the women and THEY would get damaged (but you are point blank on their attack), grab (hold attack/click until you goes red) which give minimal damage BUT heals you, also give a break from bullet hell. You can go to shop latter to make your life easier.

I found myself not grinding much and play hit-and-run tactic at latter stage (only 6 in total, sadly). When I get damaged, I risked get near enemy to do grab attack (have smaller range than normal attack, but also get increase from [long tentacle] upgrade) to keep a top shape. All in all, enjoyable short little game.
