Octagon is a 2013 action game developed and published by the Czech indie developer Lukas Korba. In the game, the player must guide an octagon through randomly generated eight-sided levels. Octagon was released for iOS in November 2013, followed by Android in September 2014, and was met with a positive reception.

Gameplay

In Octagon, the player must guide an octagon through eight-sided, three-dimensional levels without falling.[1] Each level is randomly generated,[2][3] and to complete one, the player can move the octagon left or right or flip its gravity to land on a platform directly above it.[4][5]

Release

Octagon was released for iOS on November 7, 2013.[4][6] An endless mode was added to the game in December 2013,[7] and Octagon was released for Android devices in September 2014.[8] A sequel titled Extreme Evolution was released on May 6, 2020.[9]

Reception

Publications praised Octagon for its gameplay.[4] Critics praised the game's fixed layout,[10] comparing Octagon to Super Hexagon and Boson X; however, some voiced concerns on the game's flipping controls.[4][6]
