This is a Metroidvania at its heart, and for the most part it does it well. There are some design decisions that I personally wouldn't have made had I been the one to make the game, but overall, it was a nice, fun, fairly short Metroidvania with a cool twist.

I'd say that the best part of this game is actually just moving around and using your tendrils to grab and eat people. I actually wish the game got out of my way to let me do it a bit more throughout. But there is a section at the end where they really let you go wild, and I had a lot of fun with that.

Overall, it delivers on the premise pretty well, but I have some personal gripes with it that knock it down slightly.
