• My Nuclear Octopus 2 Announcement! - 30 September 2026

  Everyone's favourite nuclear octopus is back to save the world again in MNOZ, the explosive sequel to My Nuclear Octopus. MNOZ is a psychedelic retro arcade game for fans of pure out-and-out arcade blasters. Chase those online high scores! And if you have a VR headset, play in VR and have pixels poking you in the eye holes, too! A free demo will be launched next month as a part of Steam Next Fest, featuring 16 levels to give you a good taste of what's to come.MNOZ is something a bit different, and I get that MNOZ is not going to be to everyone's tastes. I expect this to be niche- but niche can be good! It's a game made for the players, not made to sell to everyone. Hopefully MNOZ will find its people who 'get it' and those people will have a blast with it, in a similar way to how the original My Nuclear Octopus found its people too.Speaking of which, if you think you know someone who mi…

• Achievement fix - 13 August 2020

  Hello octofriends! Hope you're all still enjoying the game :) We just pushed a minor update to the store, but it's an important one. Sadly, a bug cropped up where all achievements could be reset when the game was restarted. Really sorry if your achievements got wiped out. This is now fixed and everything should be working correctly. Our octotesters have made sure this will not happen again. Sincere thanks to Dr. Oculus for reporting the bug! And on that note, if you find bugs you can contact us via the website's contact form or reach out to us on Twitter @ParrotGames Cheers!

• Gameplay guide - 6 August 2020

  So far, the scores you've all been getting are pretty impressive. It says it all in the game description - this game is as tough as old badgers! So, what can you do to improve? Let's start with the gameplay basics: -HOLD DOWN fire buttons, TAP the movement buttons -Destroy all things coming out of the portal -Collect the things that look like pills. They are steroidipus and they give you rapid fire -You get ONE (1) multicoloured explodipus per level (think smartbomb) to use when there's nothing left but hope. Use it! Use it! Use it! Alright, so those are the main rules. Note the 'hold down' and 'tap'. As you never run out of ink, it's perfectly acceptable to keep firing the whole time you're playing. Pick a firing direction and don't stop - hold down a fire button right through, if you like. TAP the movement keys. Tapping the movement up/down keys is the safest way to move around. If yo…

• Welcome Octopus Friends! - 5 August 2020

  Thanks for being so awesome as to play My Nuclear Octopus. We hope you're all enjoying the game! As with practically any game ever made, we found a bug after launch that needed immediate squashing. This small update addresses the broken points display that pops up whenever a bug gets blasted in the game. It was stuck at 100, meaning it was pretty but useless information. The Octopus got to work as soon as it was discovered and fixed us all up with a nice, all new shiny points display. Since we're talking about score, perhaps you'd like to know how the scoring works? Every bug starts out being worth 250 points when it first exits the portal onto the game sphere. As it makes its way around, the score decreases down to a minimum of 25 points. This means that bugs on the outside rings are usually worth less than the ones on the inside, which also happens to be the most dangerous place to si…
