In Takoyaki Surprise, the Octopus Princess has been kidnapped by the infamous celebrity chef Shefu, who has a twisted plan to cook her live on national TV. The stage is set for a culinary catastrophe, and it’s up to Tako, a brave samurai octopus, to stop it. Together with his loyal companion, Sakana the swordfish, who doubles as the player’s mouse cursor, Tako must journey to the perilous Restaurant Island – a treacherous land filled with twisted food-themed dungeons and enemies straight out of Shefu’s insane kitchen.
As you guide Tako and Sakana across the vibrant 16-bit world, every step feels like a wild ride through a crazy, colourful land of corrupted cuisine. The island’s dungeons are guarded by Shefu’s diabolical culinary creations, each more dangerous and bizarre than the last. From battling through fields of deranged doughnuts to slicing your way past enraged sushi, the island tests your reflexes and wits at every turn. With each click, you’ll feel the intensity ramp up as the enemies get tougher and the stakes get higher. Can you save the princess before Shefu’s devious dish is served?
But the danger doesn’t end there. Along the way, you’ll meet Shedo, a mysterious exile from Tako’s kingdom, who harbours his own dark secrets. Unlocking his campaign will plunge you into an even harder mode, designed for players seeking the ultimate challenge. Tako’s journey offers a balanced, accessible experience, but Shedo’s path is where the real test begins, with more brutal enemies and a deeper, hidden storyline that adds new layers to the adventure.
