Gameplay

Screenshot DS 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[1].

Controls

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

Timing Display

  • Perfect!/Ace!?: The Octo-Pops are happy. The game displays "Good!", and moves on to the next pattern.
  • Early!/Late!?: N/A[citation needed]
  • Miss...?: The Octo-Pops are sad, with the player looking confused. The game displays "Wrong! Try again." and returns to the first pattern.

Trivia

  • 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.
  • The maximum tempo (437.5 BPM) is faster than Big Rock Finish C, the fastest song in the series (290 BPM) [1]
