About

Neon Tentacles

Features
Read full description

Drag a tentacle โ€” and the whole screen comes alive. NEON TENTACLES is a glowing strategy game about warring luminous cells, where every level is won by cunning, not by finger speed. HOW IT WORKS Stretch a tentacle from your cell to another โ€” charges run down the strand and start pumping life across. When two strands meet, a duel begins: charges collide midway and annihilate each other, and the stronger flow pushes through. Swipe across an enemy strand to cut it and collapse the enemy's supply line. A cell's charge is its power: new tentacle slots unlock at thresholds of 15, 60, 120 and 250, and cells mutate as they grow. 240 LEVELS, 10 CHAPTERS From the first steps of Awakening to the final Core, every chapter adds a new mechanic โ€” mutant strains, fast and slow zones, pulsars that cut everything around them, drifting spores, bombs, fog of war. Bosses await at the end of chapters. EVOLUTION Earn up to three stars per level, collect DNA and invest it in the evolution tree: charge speed, cell capacity, regeneration. Build a genome that fits your style. WHAT'S INSIDE - 240 levels across 10 chapters with rising difficulty - bosses and unique mechanics in every chapter - tentacle duels: real-time clashes of opposing flows - an evolution tree: speed, capacity and regeneration upgrades - Daily Trial โ€” a fresh level every day - achievements and detailed statistics - up to three stars per level and DNA for mastery - English and Russian localization - smooth 120 fps on supported devices FAIR PLAY No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions. No account required, no data collection, and the game is fully playable offline โ€” on a plane, on the subway, anywhere. Easy to pick up, deep to master: early levels take a minute, while late chapters will make you cut supply lines, feed the front and plan every tentacle. Ready for the clinch?
