A portion of a Gamepur interview with Emeric Thoa, Creative Director...

Gamepur: Will Squids Odyssey support Wii U Gamepad and other unique features?

Emeric: "Squids Odyssey is playable fully with the pad, or fully with the stylus. Or you can mix both. It's really designed for both controls! For the WiiU we also added the possibility to play fully on the TV or fully on the Gamepad. It really is a great game for the WiiU."
