About Escape From Squid Island
Escape From Squid Island is a 3D shooter with a single, urgent aim: get off an island that is crawling with enemies. You make your way through a series of different environments, and enemies stand between you and freedom in each one, so progress comes from winning the fights along the route and pressing on toward your escape.
A story runs alongside the fighting, giving the escape a plot to follow rather than a string of unconnected battles. The controls are a compact shooter setup for desktop: W, A, S, D for walking, the mouse for the camera, the right mouse button for aiming, the left for firing and R for reloads. With so few inputs, each fight comes down to where you stand, how carefully you aim and whether your weapon is loaded when the next enemy appears.

How to play Escape From Squid Island
Objective
Fight through the enemies across the island's environments and escape it, using careful aim and timely reloads to win each battle along the way.
Controls
Desktop
- W, A, S, D: walk around
- Mouse movement: turn the camera
- Left mouse button: shoot
- Right mouse button: aim
- R: reload
Getting started
- Walk forward using W, A, S, D, sweeping the mouse around to look over the first area before advancing.
- Aim at an enemy by clicking the right mouse button, then click the left mouse button to fire.
- Press R to reload when your weapon gets low, ideally before you walk into the next fight.
- Push on through each environment, clearing the enemies that stand between you and the way off the island.
Tips
- Reload with R during quiet moments rather than mid-fight; running dry with enemies nearby is the easiest way to lose a battle on the island.
- Line up every shot using the right mouse button first, because careful aim is the main tool the controls give you against the island's enemies.
- Use the camera to check around corners and across open areas before moving, since every environment is different and enemies can be waiting in any of them.
