Part of me wants to dismiss this as a stupid meme game: a QWOP-style prank on the player where the "enjoyment" comes from laughing at your own frustration at the intentionally terrible controls. Two things prevent me from doing this:
1. The writing is peak stupid fun. Unlike QWOP, this has a simple story that spirals completely out of control over the course of its brief runtime. Your pedestrian aquarium visit devolves into a gloriously chaotic mess of romantic flashbacks, stealth sections, and needlessly intense action set-pieces. This is much, much funnier than the vast majority of CG-animated family films and Octodad would be an absolute banger of a Dreamworks flick.
2. While playing this solo pisses me off, it's great fun in co-op: where each player controls different tentacles. Seriously: grab a buddy. It's not necessarily less frustrating, but it's annoying in a way that is much more enjoyable than screaming and crying alone in your room, begging the flaccid mollusc man to just walk down the fucking aisle already as you inadvertently break both of your thumbs.
