You remember Wacky WallWalkers? The character comes from a panel in an early '90s Andrew-Jonathan comic strip.
This game underwent a bunch of revision when Game-Maker 3.0 came around. In particular all of the menus and interfaces got an overhaul.

Story
Octolris is a slime octopus; the only one of his species. While he was florping around one day, he got snagged in the net of a crazed sushi fishing boat and bludgeoned by one of the workers before he could escape.
Octolris can live on land for a short while, but he dries up quickly and needs slime to coat his body regularly. When his body is totally covered with the stuff, it becomes adhesive, enabling Octolris to stick to things.
To get back to the story, when he awoke, Octolris found himself in an odd warehouse that smelled like fish. He wriggled out of the net. The air was cold, but moist enough that Octolris could manage. It was very dark, but he was able to find the door.
Octolris made up his mind then and there that he had to find a way back to the ocean. Whatever way there was, he would take it.
He had to get back.
The adventure begins . . . .
