Who’s who

Get to know some of the characters trapped here.

Agent 8

A young Octoling who defected from the Octarians.

Pearl

A flying drone claiming to be Pearl, a member of the popular band Off the Hook. While it does seem to be Pearl in there, it's not clear how she came to take this form.

Acht

An Octarian who wandered into this world before Agent 8. They’ve been able to gather deets about the Spire and the color chips. While they assist Agent 8 in their journey, Acht’s true goal remains a mystery.

Off the Hook

Megastar musicians who once hosted Inkopolis News. You’d think they’d be mad busy every day because of their world tour...

Aim for the top

The Spire of Order is a strange place. Each floor is full of danger and, somehow, changes each time you enter the tower.

Going up

The only way up the Spire is by elevator. Completing the challenge on a floor allows Agent 8 to ride up to the next. Of course, the higher they go, the harder the challenges get...

School’s in

These weird-looking fish creatures are in relentless pursuit of Agent 8. Whatever they are, they’ve never been seen before.

A school of skeletal-like machine fish with red eyes and surrounded by a dark substance.

Diabolical challenge

Agent 8 might need more than just skill to conquer the increasingly difficult floors on their way to the top of the Spire of Order.

What’s an Octoling to do?

Increaseyour odds

The higher up you go, the steeper the challenges get. Here are some ways you can improve your chances of making it to the top.

1

Power up with color chips

Completing challenges earns color chips. These can boost your abilities—like attack power, speed, range, and luck—when they’re added to a Palette. Depending on which color chips you choose and apply, the same weapon can evolve in different ways to suit your style. Plus, both Agent 8 and Pearl can take advantage of color chips.

2

Pick up palettes

Obtaining a new Palette lets you use a different weapon. Collecting ‘em opens up the number of strategies that are available to you for attacking the Spire.

3

Hack with Prlz

If you fail, your color chips will be converted to Prlz. These can be spent to hack the Spire to try to make the next run a little easier.
