It uses edgy electronic music that starts to feel repetitive and droning after a few moments of playing the game. While Octagon is a minimalist video game that banks on its vividly colorful visuals, it lacks good music. The endless void that surrounds the safe platforms are clearly defined from each other, and the same goes with the ball that you try to guide all the way through. However, you will never have problems identifying one game element from another. Whether you jump upwards to the ceiling or swipe sideways, you will definitely feel the octagon turn. What makes this addictive despite its increasing difficulty is its vibrant colors paired with smooth animation. These controls give an impression of the entire stage rotating and could cause a sense of disorientation within the game, which adds challenge as the gaps and obstacles come at you faster. You can either tap or swipe left or right to move the ball sideways and move across platforms, or you can swipe upwards to clear vertical gaps and move to the “roof” of the octagon.
In terms of controls, there are only three movement options available to you and the ball. You’ll have to avoid falling off and have to stay on the platforms until you get to the end of the level. The stage, however, is filled with gaps and obstacles. The game has a simple objective: guide the ball through what is basically an octagon-shaped tube of a level to the other end. Only an option for settings, sound, and the button to start playing immediately.
In the Octagon app, there’s not much fanfare.
