Enraged at the treatment of the Earth, The Destructopus rampages to stop further environmental degradation. Throughout the game, players can expect a healthy dose of satire and lighthearted pokes at society for environmental apathy.
The environmental issues Destructopus highlights are no laughing matter, and yet the game features several hilarious undertones. Rob, a team member at GlitchSoft, explains that "The creative and design teams at GlitchSoft wanted the game to do two things, one deliver a positive social message, and two be a total riot. Thus we decided to poke a bit of fun at the state of the environment and allow players to take out their frustrations on mega corporations and deforestation units and polluters alike. If Destructopus ignites a spark in some of its players to do more to conserve the environment, we would be pretty happy with that."
