Developer Apt Games announced the bullet-hell shoot ’em up, Terror Squid, will launch for the Nintendo Switch via the eShop, and PC via Steam on October 15 for $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99.

"With Terror Squid we wanted to make a hypnotic score-attack game that’s easy to grasp, but difficult to master," said Terror Squid creative director Syver Lauritzsen. "We also wanted it to feel haunted, just as the best 80s arcade games infect your brain in ways both terrifying and entrancing. Become one with the Terror Squid."
