#Super hexagon portable#
I think the keyboard and monitor divorced me from the immersion, which the portable version thankfully ameliorates. Whether it was the unlocking of harder stages, finding the sweet spot to see the entire level to react, or just having hypnotic hexagons in my lap and in my bed (!!), I much preferred the iOS experience. Those squeamish or unconvinced by the challenge that awaits can sample a Super-less Hexagon in any Flash-friendly browser. I think newcomers or casual fans may also wish for a practice mode, one that allows multiple hits or respawns instead of the game’s unforgiving one-chance, one-life rule. I would have preferred a choice to mute the voice that announces each new level to hear only the pumping music after a while. Game Center leader boards for each level provide a certain satisfaction for gloating and seeing who’s actually survived the Hexagon. Waiting for those who transcend their humanity are three harder stages to test their new, god-like twitch powers, too. That said, each completed stage will feel like a victory over the hardest of old-school games. A few hours in, I still haven’t cleared the last normal stage. Sore loser? Maybe.Ĭompleting the main game of Super Hexagon equates to three minutes of gameplay (as one must merely survive for 60 seconds per stage), but it’s going to take normal humans about 100 times that amount of practice to ever see the ending. However, I can’t quite help but blame the input as not being “twitchy" enough at times to inch the triangle to safety. Most of the time, players will be cursing these difficult stage patterns. Super Hexagon‘s stages are aesthetically simple and seem to randomly generate, but several patterns feel “learnable" with enough practice. Along with new patterns, each stage also ramps up the speed, which helps the player avoid complacency just in case the mind-altering presentation wasn’t enough. Some taps will have to be short for sliding into a narrow gap and other taps will be long to withstand spiraling gaps. The entire screen is the controller, and tapping either side dictates how the triangle spins. Players assume the role of a rather pathetically small triangle which must spin clockwise or counterclockwise to survive an unending onslaught of fragmented hexagons and other shapes. Those who haven’t played anything from Cavanagh will quickly understand the challenge they are accepting when the lowest difficulty to select from is hard.

Check it out right here, or play Super Hexagon for $3 on iOS (or regular Hexagonfor free).Ĭavanagh is " working flat out" to get Super Hexagon on PC and Mac soon, and those versions are almost done, he says.Even more punishing than developer Terry Cavanagh’s VVVVVV, Super Hexagon ($2.99) is a test of patience and an unending source of arcade adrenaline. All who have attempted Veni Vidi Vici will know the pleasurably painful twitching they are about to endure but with added vertigo.

Cavanagh even posted Open Hexagon on his Free Indie Games blog, writing, "This is probably the closest I'll ever come to posting my own games on this site." Besides, Open Hexagon is free for PC. But, overall, he says Open Hexagon is "not bad at all – the harder octagon stage was pretty cool. "I'm a little upset that he released it before I had a chance to release Super Hexagon on PC myself," Cavanagh tweets. The developer of Open Hexagon, Vittorio Romeo, says that he secured permission from Cavanagh to make a game inspired by Super Hexagon, and Cavanagh says he's "basically all right with it." He'd probably be totally all right with it if Romeo hadn't beaten him to a PC launch. Open Hexagon freely states that it is a clone of Terry Cavanagh's iOS mind-melter Super Hexagon, but on PC.
