A roguelike transformation shooter where you transform your way through 20 deadly portal levels. Choose your octopus form – shoot, heal, freeze time, or dash – and gamble on which portal will take you further. Take too long and the safe portal disappears. Unlock new transformations with each victory
Octoportals
SteamTransform into bizarre octopus forms – a rapid-fire shooter, a time-stopping menace, a healing form, or a lightning-fast speedster – and fight your way through 20 increasingly brutal levels. Each transformation changes how you play. Every portal is a risk. And the clock is always ticking.

Build your deck of three octopus transformations. Switch between them mid-fight—need range? Go shooter. Surrounded? Freeze time. Low health? Shift to healer. But here's the catch: once you use a slot, it shuffles to a random new form. Adapt or die.

Each level hides multiple portals. Only one will lead you safely to the next level – the others will cause damage. Kill enemies, collect keys, open portals, and choose wisely. But don't take too long: hesitate and the safe portal disappears, leaving only painful options.

Beat level 20 and permanently unlock new Transformation Orbs for future runs. Every victory expands your deck further. Collect them all – from the straightforward to the very bizarre ones.
