Gameplay

File:Octopus Machine.png

There are three Octo-Pops lined up in a row. The player controls the third one, who has to copy what the others do. There are 7 patterns in a set order, all involving the Octo-Pops swelling and deflating themselves, and occasionally popping the cork. If the player clears all the patterns, the game speeds up and returns to the first pattern. After the 8th loop, the tempo stops increasing, staying at 437.5 BPM.

Controls

• Tap (Hold): Swell
• Tap (Release): Deflate
• Flick: Blow

Trivia

• There are two unused test animations, one showing the three Octo-Pops lined up, the other showing four.
• This Rhythm Toy, along with Rhythm Fighter, is set up like a Rhythm Game.
  • The repetitive nature of the game, fail condition, and lack of a proper end make it similar to an Endless Game, although there is no score to be kept.
