I remember storys about the flying spaghetti monster religion (not sure if this game is related, if not look it up, it's real LOL). The game itself is simple and fun! However, I felt like it was a little to relaxing and ramps up to slowly. Other than that, a solid submittion.

Cool game mechanics, but not really sure how it fit the theme. Still fun entry though!
"+" "Aesthetics" - very nice background in Main menu & Leaderboard.
"-" Game LOR is not clear and "rules" also not fully clear (you must play and have unsuccessful attempts)
"+/-" Idea with console interested, but size is very big
Nice game! Presentation is very polished. Gameplay started off a little slow, but was still enjoyable. Doesn't relate to the theme a whole lot, but still a cool idea.
The game felt pretty polished, but I have a few half-backed suggestions. Since there is an actual in game warning, I feel like the console should warn the player in advance, that way they have to decide which side of the tentacle to be on using the info from the console. At the same time make the console cover the top or even all of the screen so that you have to be safe before viewing the console. I especially like the menu music, and not so much the gameplay music.
I loved the idea of creating a console and dividing the playable area into sectors. Also, tentacle animations are great as well as the general game style. Two tentacles surrounded me and an alien ship shot me :/. One little idea is to make messages in the console with different colors to distinguish them easily.
P.S. Btw where the heck do those tentacles come from? What is that big hairy object? I have many questions)
Edit: Oh, spaghetti monster, I got it)

I like the difficulty scaling in mechanics here, its pretty fun. Main problem is the game starts off pretty slow and that any projectiles such as green projectiles from the enemy ship are underneath the spaghetti monster and that doesnt leave a lot of time for reacting sometimes. Pretty easy to fix. But it was still fun!
Really well done difficulty curve. Slowly introducing additional threats to watch out for.
I really enjoyed this game! nice visuals and everything is super clear and easy to understand! I would've loved if the spaghetti monster had big eyes though lmao. All id say is it'd be cool if the "absorption" played a larger role, maybe you get stronger or bigger or something.
