Octadial Free Version DESCRIPTION

This free version of OctaDial is exactly the same as the paid version of OctaDial on Google Play.

If you like the game enough to want to give us a tip - then please buy the Paid version later on. Meanwhile, enjoy :)

OCTADIAL is a video game of the puzzle / logic variety. We took familiar shapes and patterns from antiquity and have forged them into a new visual, virtual mechanism for your pleasure, to pit your skills against on your smartphone, tablet or big screen of choice.

Think of OctaDial as a flattened, octagon-shaped gadget with multi-colored Tiles, sliced up by 4 overlapping Dials, all made possible with the magic of software.

You don't have to be a Genius to completely solve it, but it helps!

Because it is a 2D mechanism - where you can see all the faces at once - it is generally easier to solve than a 3D rubiks cube, and definitely different techniques required.

There are 9 Tiles, 8 around the edge of a flat diamond-shaped board and 1 in the center.

Each Tile has 8 colored faces / bevelled-edges.

At the start, the colored bevelled-edges / faces are all shuffled about.

Your Mission:

★ By turning the 4 Dials, you need to get the 8 Tiles around the edge of the diamond-board to be uniformly one color each.

★ Your goal with the center Tile is harder: to complete the game you must get it to radiate 8 different colored faces, with each face pointing to the edge Tile of the same color.

★ While your mission is a tough challenge, the user-friendly interface is a minimalist's dream to help you along, young or otherwise.

OctaDial is always solvable.

• The first time you solve it, it may take you around an hour or more to chance upon a solution (aforementioned geniuses excepted).

• After mastering a few techniques you can get it down to around 20 minutes.

• After mastering 'all' of the techniques, you can get it down around 5 minutes.

• The current World Record for solving OctaDial is 2 minutes 37 seconds.
