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? “Octagon is like Temple Run but on steroids and with much cooler music and graphics. If you're a Temple Run or Impossible Road fan, you definitely want to check out Octagon for iPhone or iPad.” - Allyson Kazmucha, iMore “Some of the most fun I’ve had with my iPhone this year.” - 9/10 Arcade Sushi “Fast, tough game that doesn’t give a darn about your feelings. Go for it!” - 4/5 Cult of Mac “If you love these impossible reflex games, then you don’t want to miss out on Octagon.” - 5/5 AppAdvice Octagon is a minimal arcade game where you have to move fast or be left behind. As the floor moves beneath you, spin your world around to dodge speed bumps. Flip upside-down to avoid holes, surf on top of the Octagon—whatever you can do to 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Octagon 1 holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Octagon 1 has 510 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Octagon 1's written reviews are positive against 71% of Continuum 01's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Octagon 1 ships an update monthly, Continuum 01 every 24 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
