You are trapped inside the Octagon, a megaplex of hallways, platforms, and gaps—and the clock is running. Can you survive the mad race through this trippy 8-sided tunnel?

An energizing soundtrack by Sqeepo and psychedelic color bursts keep you in the zone on your race to the finish. But with each round over after just 60 seconds, only super-fast reflexes will beat this very challenging game.

Octagon 1: Maximal Challenge Reviews
Seriously addicting game that never ceases to amaze! Every new map is an entirely new challenge and learning them is only half the battle!
This game is really fun, with Greta graphics and overall good gameplay. For the person who complained about the swipe controls, you can switch them in the settings.
Not much else to say. We like the graphics and the gameplay is pretty solid in our opinion. Overall it does what it sets out to achieve.
Its kind of like Temple Run but better because there’s actual levels and the patterns aren’t random, and it doesn’t make us rage quit…
THIS APP IS AWSOME!! We honestly don’t really like apps like this but this app is different. It’s really rage worthy but at the same time it’s almost impossible to put down. We feel challenged to complete the levels. (that might just be our personality…) The bold, vibrant colors make it appealing to look at but at the same time confuse your brain, making the game harder. We really like this app and think, being a free app, it’s worth downloading.
We just got this game today, having a lot of fun with it. Haven’t run into any bugs, the gameplay is fun but simple, and there are many tracks to complete and go through.
We wish we could play music and play at the same time and put the background music off. But otherwise it’s great!
We love octagon but we prefer to play it on our Mac.
Great game. The levels are challenging enough. Excellent design that improves hand-to-brain coordination. Oh, and, quite addictive!
This game is like temple run but not really and we like this game because this is so much fun to play.
Fantastic little game. Beautiful graphics and sound make this gem pop from the thousands of other games on the market. The levels are simple without being repetitive, elegant without being complex. One of our favorites to be sure.
This game reminds us of run both are fun games but octagon is kinda hurting our eyes when we play at night (brightness)
We downloaded this as a free app on the App Store, and once we started it, we realized we would have payed $4.00 for it. One, we love the randomly generated levels, because it makes memorizing the map impossible, and yet still is fun. Two, endless mode is very relaxing, and good when you want to do a longer run. One suggestion we have is to put more than one try a day at the daily challenge.
We love how challenging and addicting this game can be. The brain needs to be challenged, and we know one thing that can do that specific job. You guessed it, OCTOGON!!!!
You won’t believe how long we’ve waited for this game to come out. Ever since they advertised it in their website and Facebook, we always checked the AppStore to see if it was there. Now our wish has been fulfilled. It isn’t as good as Cytus, but what game could ever beat that?! But this game is phenomenal none the least. Highly recommend it.
Lovely game. Takes a bit to get the hang of it but then omg it’s difficult to stop playing! You want to keep beating your own score. Awesome game great music & graphics.
We didn’t have the control issues that some people mentioned, but we play on an iPad and there’s more space to work with. Level 18 and still having fun!
We seriously love this app. We don’t understand why it’s not popular but another app with the same concept (but this one is better) has been on the charts. Best two dollars we’ve ever spent.
This game is so freaking fun and addicting!! We can’t stop playing it!! It’s definitely worth the money spent on it and definitely will kill a lot of time! We highly recommend getting this game if you have quick reflexes or your trying to get quick reflexes.
This app is very fun and addicting. The concept is wonderful; each block has its own gravitational poll and you have to go through an obstacle course through them. The colors are amazing, and the dynamics are awesome. One thing that we would like to change is that you can go back and play previous levels. We also don’t like the regenerate level option because it makes you think "well is this the same level as our friend played?" But otherwise it’s a great game.
This is an enjoyable game that we play on our Mac and we like it there better but this version is fun as well. As for the reviewer that claims that this game is a ripoff of "Run" by Kongregate Games, you need to educate yourself before making accusations. This game was released in 2013. Kongregate (which is known for ‘ripping off’ games), released their version in 2015.
It’s the new and improved duel with more rage :D.
There is some minor bug in the classic mode but good at all just for freetime…
This is currently our favorite game!!! We would really like it if on classic mode our best could be saved instead of lost every time we switch apps. But other than that this game is great.
The controls on this are very hard to get used to, however the free Mac version offers the same features with easier controls.
This is a fun game that’s addicting and just entertaining during long bathroom secessions. But, we feel like this game should have already been free. There are so many games like this and it just doesn’t feel like it’s a game you should have to ever pay for. Guess that’s why it’s free for a week.
We are glad that octagon has finally been released on iOS. We were getting tired of seeing people play it on their macs. This game was fun for us until it quickly got increasingly hard. We can’t seem to get past level 5 on the classic mode. We think you guys should try to make the levels get harder one step at a time by slowly adding new obstacles or paths on each level you add. We’ll give you 5 stars if you do this.
Give this game 3 star because its hard to play and we do not have fun.
The controls on the app can be really funky especially the jump it is really complicated to figure out where ur jumping next.
It’s a poor BosonX ripoff. It’s alright, functional. If you like these sorts of games (super hexagon, super meat boy, torture platformer/reaction games) it’s alright. There’s nothing really in here that stands out for us. It’s fun for 30 seconds and then we’re just wishing we were playing something else.
Alright, so the app is not bad, but could be a lot better. The swipe controls were a questionable choice for us, for the game gets so fast paced, that it becomes impractical to swipe, when tapping would work just fine. The way the app looked made us think it was going to be a more geometry dash type game, when in reality, it wasn’t. The music has an almost play the game to it vibe, but due to the "randomly" generated levels, tends to be off beat with our swipes, giving an unnatural feeling. The perspective of where the holes are is a little off as well. But it is not the worst we have played, nothing tries to force you to buy anything and there hasn’t been an ad, so it is not trying to milk money. And we applaud that. It could be a good-great game, but is not as of now.
This is a little too difficult to plan on the iPhone small screen format. Sorry that’s why Bottom swiping doesn’t cut it.
The game is fun and has no major flaws except it seems as if it was designed for a controller and not touch control. It has controller and swiping options, but as the game gets faster, swiping, as other people have noticed, just doesn’t work, it’s too slow.
This game requires zany fast reflexes. Not fun for avg speed people.
We are a proud owner of an Apple TV. We love playing games on our Apple TV, because it is really fun to go to play games that aren’t Consol games on the big screen. We love her mobile developers like you, the developers of Octagon, have an ability to quickly and easily make a version of your app for the Apple TV. We also happen to know the game development is not easy, and mistakes are going to be made occasionally. But, the controls on the Apple TV are completely and totally 100% trash. The only way to have good controls on the Apple TV version of the game, is to have a game controller. We do not have one of those. And if anyone else does not have one of those, the game is completely unplayable. If you want to try to fix the swipe controls, that’s great. We would love to have swipe controls that actually work. That would be nice. But what we would actually prefer, is if you were to add touch controls to the Siri remote. Controls that function like they do on the controller. The ability to tap of the sides or edges of the remote to move your octagon. This is our only complaint with the game, as the mobile version is almost perfect. And if the Apple TV version could be played we I assume that it would be great as well. When we saw octagon had an Apple TV app, we were excited to play it. But now, we don’t think we can. Please fix this. Thanks. Rocket.
We were in level 55 and very addicted to the game , the next morning it took us back to level 32 on our laptop. On our phone, it made us restart from level 1, after going through all the time to be at such a high level. This also happened to our friend who was in level 34 and the game made her start over from level 1. Amazing game but fix that glitch .
Was good until you hit one of the barriers then it proceeds to make a ton of color flash in your face. Which can be a problem for some (epileptics beware). It actually hurt our eyes when we bumped into one of these god awful barriers.
This Is just a cheapest copy of Boson X that you can find in the AppStore if you really like This kind of games , download Boson X , it is 100 times better than this game.
The game wasn’t interesting for us, we mean we just played it for 2 minutes and we feel that we are wasting our time. However, we are going to delete it, but we said to myself why don’t we write a review for this app? Also, we have headache when we play this game, so be careful.
It’s just another take on Boson X/Super Hexagon that doesn’t offer much else and has some bland music to boot.
The swipe controls while responsive take time. Which is good for early levels in classic but is terrible for later ones as the speed is increased The tap controls are absolutely terrible. Tapping one side of the screen should send you that side but if you miss the absolute side you are sent flipping. Simply put the tap controls are too unforgiving with switching lanes The computer version is the definitive version as the controls are solid and it works for people who left and right handed perfectly we would have thought that with the CPU version we would not have crappy controls in the phone version. Advice make an update where tapping both sides of the screen flips the map not the center and give complete lane switching to tapping one side of the screen.
Look up Boson X, they’re the exact same except the runner is a person.
We gave up after a few minutes. Didn’t care for it.
The game uses a simple design that has been done countless times before, and with little creative execution. Despite actually being flat, platforms are strangely given graphical depth that can make it difficult to tell where gaps occur from a distance. Levels are predesigned so that difficult parts are always at the end, and the player needs to continually go through nearly a minute of trivial sections before finally arriving at the challenge. Worst of all, the game can misread swipes occasionally, resulting in instant failure. The music soon becomes annoying as well. The gameplay can be inconsistently challenging, but is inherently repetitive. We do not consider this app worth the space it takes up, let alone money.
What seems a good game, is killed by the bad controls, the swipe controls should be inverted and the tap controls don’t event work.
Second what other guy said about challenges at ends of level forcing you to run through the beginning portions over and over. Horrible music. Bad controls, misreads swipes. The one good thing about this kusoge is its free.
