Hey guys, I would like to announce my new minimal arcade game which will suit well to all Super Hexagon, Boost and Boson-X lovers! Octagon is a minimal arcade game where you have to move fast or be left behind. Spin your world around to dodge speed bumps. Flip upside-down to avoid holes, surf on top of the octaplex — anything you can think of to survive the rapid slide through this tricky 8-sided tunnel with a procedural graphics. An electronic soundtrack and psychedelic bursts of color keep you in the zone on your race to the finish. Octagon will be available for iOS and for Mac as a classic premium game without any in-apps. Release date is Nov 7. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Sure, do you have TestFlight account or are willing to create one for downloading development builds?
Bronxsta, I have just sent you a private message regarding the gameplay video. We still have only a prototype version which we aren't publicly showing let me know what you think!
Send me your Testflight Guys, thanks for your great interest. I would love to share with you the playable build. Just drop me your TestFlight email address to PM and I will send you invitation to become testers.
Help us to select the music! Guys, I have asked two music producers, Luccas and Sqeepo for Octagon demo track. I have own preference but it will be very helpful to hear your voice. Which one do you like more? Please vote in the poll on the top of this thread or write me your comment. THANKS! Luccas
Voted for the Sqeepo track. The beat and rhythm seemed to go better with the on-screen action than the other music IMO
It's bit hard for me to decide which one is the best; Sqeepo sounds odd in my ears for the first time. However, that odd rhythm sounds better and better each time I played it. The beat and tempo is good for your game too Luccas has dynamic music. It might be sounds similar like other fast paced game's soundtracks, but for me it still has its own style. IMO, it's more suitable for your game style. Fast and ultra, I got that feel on Luccas. But, hey why don't you mashup those 2 songs together? I played both songs at the same time, and it's not bad. It'll be one of the most original soundtrack I ever hear.. lol
New screenshots Some new screenshots. I have finally implemented random background generation and twisting, it looks awesome in motion. You will be able to see this in couple of days as I am finishing first public test build.
Procedural graphics I have been working hard to completely rewrite the graphics in the game. Octagon has now procedural gradients generator and the game constantly changes it's look. How do you like the new screenshots?
