Octodad's side special move

has a currently unnamed side special move in Fraymakers.

Overview
When performed, Octodad charges forward while spinning his arms around, ending by landing with an arm swipe. While spinning, opponents that make contact can be dealt up to three hits of deal 1 damage each, and the ending swipe deals 5 damage with strong forward knockback. Octodad also has super armor at the start of the move. The move's distance and high knockback make it one of Octodad's strongest KO moves, as well as an effective tool for approaching and powering through attacks. Additionally, using it in midair causes Octodad to gain slight vertical distance, allowing for use in recovering. However, it suffers from high startup and ending lag and can be used only one time in midair before landing.

Trivia

 * Early in development, Octodad's side special move was planned to function much differently, in which he would jump forward to grab a nearby opponent and hug them tightly. This move was only shown during the game's Kickstarter campaign and scrapped before being made available in a public version of the game.
 * The concept of Octodad grabbing an opponent and tightly hugging them would later be implemented as his unnamed down special move.
