Blocktopus
A downloadable game for Windows
Blocktopus:
In a world where everyone is an octopus, you, 5-year-old Lil’ Junior, must clean up all his toys before the teacher comes in, and gives you detention. Just watch out for his classmates Sarah and Joel, who are both still playing around. Sort as many blocks as you can in 2 minutes in this fast-paced, colorful adventure!
This virtual reality game was created in Spring 2019 using the Visualization Immersive Reality Lab (VIRL) of the Department of Visualization at Texas A&M University under the guidance of Hadeel Ramadan and Soumitra Goswami.

Great looking game and lots of fun to play.
A simple idea given an excellent twist by you being an octopus.
I did think the other 'kids' interrupted the task a bit too much and I would have liked more time to play each game as it was so good.
Some times I played just to watch what was going on in the classroom!
Thanks for sharing.
