Super Hexagon by Terry Cavanagh, Universal, TA GotY 2012 Honorable Mention

Just leave your finger on the screen to rotate faster.

I impressed myself last night, but only once.
Got 53 seconds in the first stage somehow but couldn't get close to that again.

You really have to get in the zone - feels good when you do though!

I will return!!

What exactly do you unlock when you complete each level and how do you complete the three first levels? Level "Square" is at 45 sec, when is pentagon and hexagon level?

It moves too fast for me too, but I have a feeling if your little triangle or whatever moved any slower, you wouldn't be able to make it to the other side of hexagon when needed. Not sure, though.

I have yet to break 20 seconds.

Here is a little hint that really works (it was mentioned by someone else earlier in the thread and it really helped me!).

Play on the hardest difficulty you have unlocked - even if you can only handle ~10 seconds, just keep playing it for as long as you can take then go immediately back to Hard, and it is MUCH easier - feels like slow motion... that's how I went straight from max of 29 seconds straight up to 53

You unlock a hyper mode for each one of them... Hyper Hard is insane . You complete a difficulty (level) and unlock a new one after surviving at least 60 seconds, those 60 seconds are divided into 6 sub levels (point, line, triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon) lasting 10 seconds each... You can still play like an endless game after that, going faster and faster and faster...

Hold, the intervals so far are 10 sec, 10 sec, 10sec, 15 sec?.... Will pentagon last 15 sec and then hexagon is the end? Is hypermode just faster both moving and obstacles? What's the difference between all modes other than speed?

Dev: Retina??

Hexagon isnt the last one... Tecnically it is... But you can still go as far as you can.. Terry has almost 300 seconds now. Maybe you are right about the time sections, too much happening at the same time to look there

Hyper mode is insane, mixes new and old zones togheter. Each one introduces new things

My recommendation: Killer game, 5 out of 5, GOTW, GOTM and a candidate for GOTY

Retina: Always on the look out for this things and it seems that way

Can't. Stop. Playing.


Am I the only one picturing themed clones of this game coming soon?
I mean, put a knight in the center with walls of skulls/zombies/rocks/whatever coming closer and add a few power-ups like fire balls (path cleaners) and slow motion. Aw gawd.

[TheFrost]

Yes! 40 seconds in hexagoner (harder), going to unlock Hyper Hexagoner soon, I hope
