Ascend and escape strange subterranean world Veetragoul, and experience an otherworldly psychedelic adventure. To conquer and master each of the handcrafted levels, you must get into the flow of the pumping, atmospheric soundtrack, as enemies and traps move along with the rhythm.

Discover new obstacles, adversaries and mechanics in every level, with clever gameplay that is easy to learn but difficult to master. Unlock powerful offensive abilities for your platform and fight back against Veetragoul’s peculiar foes. With its intuitive controls and tight and well-developed gameplay, Octahedron is a challenging and unique action game set in a mysterious neon world.

It’s not just the gameplay that’s turning heads, but also Octahedron’s soundtrack, which features contributions from popular video game composer Chipzel, as well as trance producer and DJ Andre Sobota. Both are delivering a stack of original music designed to perfectly complement the on-screen action.

“Platform games have been around forever, and it’s very hard to create anything new in this genre - but Octahedron stands out as a game that looks, and feels, fresh, and you really have to play it to understand why” says Phil Elliott, Director of Indie Publishing at Square Enix West. “It’s captivating. Watching people play the game for the first time at events like EGX has highlighted for me why we’re so excited about launching it this March: The combination of the soundtrack working in tandem with the colors on screen really engages people in a way few other games can manage.”

Marco Guardia, the man behind the action, has also brought his musical prowess into play, contributing his own tracks to the soundtrack after making his name as one half of Swiss trance act Flutlicht back in 2001.

“Octahedron brings together two of my greatest loves; video games and music,” offers Guardia. “I’ve been making electronic music and working in sound engineering for a long time, and bringing that experience to the work I do today is something truly special. It’s also been genuinely exciting to see players of all ages - some of whom wouldn’t necessarily be into trance music or even 2D platformers - really get to grips with the fast-paced action right in front of my eyes at events like EGX. It has highlighted to me that Octahedron’s appeal is broader than even I’d anticipated.”
