OctoMaze by Octagon Game Studio — We Played It | 24NerdFinds
🎮OctoMaze — Puzzle, Arcade, Casual
👉What it is: A 2D puzzle-arcade where you do not drive the octopus. You stretch Aristotle’s tentacle through compact mazes, grab items, and keep the tentacle alive. Lasers, enemies, traps, the usual “one bad move and you start over.” We did not catch a story. The hook is the tentacle.
👾Platforms: Windows on Steam ($3.99). A 15-level demo is available. We played on Mac via Crossover.
Also on Android (Google Play, $3.99).
No native Mac or Linux.
iOS was listed at some point; we could not confirm a current App Store build.
👏The good:
• Fun puzzle game. Pretty solid overall.
• Tentacle control is the interesting part. You are routing a limb, not walking a character.
• Good offline game. Airplane, no data, still works.
• Devs were super nice. • Ran clean on our Mac via Crossover.
💪Things we’d like to see improved:
• $3.99 is worth it, but it is a little steep for a puzzle game in a world full of free ones. Free with ads, or $1.99 to remove ads, would be an easier ask.
• Native Mac and Linux builds. Crossover was fine. A dedicated build would still help.
• Story did not land in the demo, at least for us.
24NerdFinds Score: 72/100 — Solid.
Played on: Mac via Crossover.
Demo only for our session.
The full game is $3.99 on Steam.

Play as π (Pi) in a weird game that makes you figure out the rules of eight very distinct challenges. Discover the meaning of the game and email us your thoughts on it.
AGENCY is a game of abstract challenges that will test your ability to discover and interpret. You play as π (Pi), the symbol, in a top-down perspective, and you have to traverse eight levels. Each level represents a different trial, with very different rules and mechanics. Your goal is to figure out these rules to successfully complete the challenges.
You can read more about the game below. If you are curious and have the time, try the demo. It is a somewhat unusual game and you will know quickly if it is to your taste by trying it out for yourself. If you visit this store page from a supported platform, you will see a "Download Demo" button on this page. If you choose to play the demo, just remember that there is a game beyond the prologue :)
The levels in AGENCY feel very distinct. One moment you are dealing with marbles and pipes in repeating rooms and the next, you are confronting mocking faces. Despite this distinctiveness, the levels have an underlying meaning and they are part of a unifying theme. Unfortunately, I cannot describe this further without spoiling the game. It is up to you to think about the levels and interpret them.
The musical score and sound design in AGENCY is the work of the exceptional and scarily talented Craven M., co-founder of Auralnauts and the composer/producer behind Auralnauts Music. Craven's so good that his summer synthwave version of "Ice Ice Baby" was re-uploaded to Vanilla Ice's official channel.
Craven has arranged and performed the score for each level with careful consideration of the underlying themes. His work on the sound design was guided by the same philosophy. When you play AGENCY, you will have the best possible sonic experience accompanying you as you confront the challenges.
We designed AGENCY's levels and gameplay with a particular theme in mind. However, as you play it, you will find your own meaning and your own interpretations. Part of the experience (and fun) in AGENCY is in exchanging notes about what each of us thinks the game is about and how it makes us feel. When you have your own thoughts and interpretations of the game, we want you to email us and share them. We'll respond to you within a day. Our email address is in the game.
Pure gameplay: You'll dive in fast and then it's all about the gameplay.
Focused experience: AGENCY should take between two to three hours to complete at first. It might take you more or less depending on how skilled you are and how much of a completionist you are. If you are familiar with the game and its levels, it could take you less than an hour to complete it.
A 2D and 3D fusion: While AGENCY has a strict top-down perspective, the game lives in a 3D world with 3D gameplay elements. Enjoy stunning visuals that will evoke different feelings at different moments and challenges that will test your depth perception.
