Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San is a puzzle-adventure game developed for PC and Nintendo Switch, released in 2018. Drawing heavily on the aesthetic of early portable gaming hardware, it follows Mr Tako, an octopus who sets out to resolve a conflict between the octopus kingdom and the human world. Gameplay involves navigating dungeons, solving puzzles, and confronting bosses across a series of stages. The game's visual style and design sensibility are rooted in the look and feel of classic handheld titles, giving it a distinctly retro character. Thematically, the narrative centers on tolerance and peaceful coexistence between two warring factions, with the protagonist acting as an unlikely ambassador for reconciliation. The combination of lighthearted presentation, exploration-focused level design, and boss encounters positions it within the tradition of action-puzzle platformers inspired by the early Game Boy era.
