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.

[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][6] An endless mode was added to the game in December 2013,[7] and Octagon was released for Android devices in September 2014.

[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.
