Playgrounds is Out Now!
Playgrounds adds the option for players to create their own Islands from scratch, now with 400 types of objects - the skies are the limits to what you can make with your own two tentacles! With the Creation Glove you can build structures, clone objects, paint buildings, and lay down roads, then use the human waypoint tool to populate your creations. You can choose to be benevolent rulers, or wreak havoc on your newly formed civilizations – it’s all your choice!
Some of the new features you can add to your islands are:
- loads of destructible, paintable, and glueable house modules
- static environmental elements (landscape, trees, clouds)
- working road modules
- new cars and trailers
- new humans
- human waypoints
- airplane waypoints
Destruction Mode:
Don’t forget, if you’re done with building and want to tear it all down you can now use the Destruction feature to send it all up in smoke at the push of a button - and do it all over again!

Free Island Creator Expansion out now!
We spent the last year and a half working on the new features for this update, encouraged by the kind words and feedback from our players. So this expansion is our way of saying thank you to you all for believing in us.
The update is quite massive- we are really hoping to make a splash 🙂.
The expansion is adding the option for players to create their own Islands from scratch. The new Creation Glove will allow all of you to freely build and rule your newly created islands to your heart’s content. You can choose to be benevolent rulers, or wreck havoc on your newly formed civilizations – it’s your choice!! This sandbox mode will also showcase some user created levels that are hand picked by the team for you to check out and be inspired from!
In addition to adding a ton of content to the sandbox mode, we also went a step further and created additional side missions and challenges! These side missions feature La Kalma’s sister island, Salmoa, and sees the return of everyone’s favorite tentacled friend. A very special side quest lets you meet the development team and even features a brand new boss battle.
We’ve also added a new “Cheat Terminal”. Players will have to type in secret codes to unlock special easter eggs, or quirky changes. Using the terminal you can even skip missions if you’re struggling with the floppiness of your tentacles. We’ll be sharing codes and islands on our Discord server, so we hope you join in and share your creativity!

Luca and I are so excited to see how players use Tentacular’s unique system to create amazing islands. Thanks to everyone who has played Tentacular through and have left a positive review. We really appreciate the loving and caring community that has sprung out our quirky game.

Achievement hint
Comfort & Clarity update
Thank you so much for all the feedback. We’ve read reviews, messages, had conversations with players on our Discord server - and we are blown away by the amount of positive feedback. But we’ve also listened very closely to suggestions and complaints. This “Comfort & Clarity update” was created to address some of the issues players had with the game. Some players were frustrated by the throwing mechanic in the rocket quests - so we added a really fun-to-use slingshot to these levels. Many players wished for the option to smoothly turn around - so we added that. And some people asked for comfort blinders to help fight motion sickness when moving - we added those too.
Overall we have touched most all of the levels to reduce difficulty or add hints where we thought clarity was lacking.
And finally - players now have the option to select a save slot via the options and share the headset between family and friends.
community changes:
- multiple save slots available via options
- smooth turning added
- comfort blinders added
- mobile slingshot added to all "rocket" levels to prevent frustration with throwing mechanic
- reduced difficulty for many levels by adding more spawnable objects
- reduced requirements for some stacking levels
- drawings from Signor Resetto added for all side quests
general bug fixes:
- loads of small tweaks and clarifications in many levels
- fixed tentacles sometimes going crazy after touching helicopter rotors
- added unlock messages for new tools in dispenser
- minor fixes and optimizations
We hope you all enjoy these changes.
