Colorful Puzzle Title 'Takoway' Available October 3rd

Preorders have just opened for a standalone mobile title, Takoway, which is being made by Hexagoon and Daylight Studios.

Official Trailer

Players control a six-tentacled octopus (Hexapus?) and navigate through a variety of 3D isometric puzzles. Changing the perspective is key to solving each, as new options and mecahnics reveal themselves on both the inside and outside layers of the stage. Other slimy creatures-- such as a salamander, snail and trio of sea cucumbers-- can assist too.

The art style is very bright and simple, making for clean and easily readable gameplay. Ironically, it was inspired by the Necker Cube illusion which is anything but!

Takoway is a perspective based puzzle game that stars Tako the six legged Octopus, or ‘Hexapus’ to be precise… Tako must journey through various lab based worlds where she will need to use different powers of perspective to solve each puzzle on a quest to escape captivity and find her place in the world. Alternate between perspectives while befriending eccentric sea creatures as they assist in maneuvering through bizarre lab terrains.

Takoway was born out of a fascination with the Necker Cube optical illusion. After becoming obsessed with the idea of making a mobile puzzle game with the Necker illusion as a central theme, the team started to explore how puzzles could extend beyond a 3-D world but still exist within the 2-D space of a screen. After numerous concepts and iterations, they finally settled on the interior / exterior puzzle game mechanics on which Takoway runs.

The Official Twitter also shares official artworks and comics featuring the main character, Tako.

Same same but different. (But still same).
