Tangent

About

Tangent is a fast-paced action game from developer rxi, released in 2016 for Windows and Mac. You control a small geometric shape moving through a maze of shifting platforms and hazards. The goal is simple: reach the end of each level while avoiding obstacles that rearrange in real time. Each run feels like a puzzle and a reflex test as you learn to predict the ever-changing layout. The controls are responsive and the levels tight, making every mistake a quick reset. What’s notable is how much rxi accomplished in just 48 hours. The game’s minimalist design hides a surprising amount of depth, with levels that scale in complexity without feeling rushed. Players appreciate the crisp feedback and the way each death teaches something new. Though brief, Tangent’s runtime is packed with replay value. Its clean visuals and lack of fluff make it a standout example of focused game design. Both platforms have a loyal following that still recommends it for its sharp execution and no-nonsense challenge.
