Review: Super Hexagon Super Hexagon is a game that makes your eyeballs feel like they're being forcibly twisted against your will while still in their sockets. It is a game that makes your brain feel like it's being torn up and stitched back together by a drunken doctor in a back alley. It will even, at times, make you question whether you're enjoying the experience or it's simply the pulsating visuals sending you subliminal messages that trick you into revelry. You will feel your mind bend as you replay levels over and over, experiencing both bliss that you've increased your record by a mere second, and anger that your reaction speed failed to save you from a crushing death. Best of all, you will come away from each play session feeling sharper, and more energized than you did before loading up Super Hexagon.
Super Hexagon (iOS) What makes Super Hexagon such an addictive experience is its simplicity. You control a little triangle that's stationed within the center of the screen. Touching the right side of your screen will move the triangle clockwise, and the left side of the screen moves you counter-clockwise. Tapping the screen will move the triangle ever so slightly, while holding down on the screen will see the shape moving at top speeds. Controls are very responsive, and they need to be as walls in the shape of geometric patterns are constantly advancing toward the center of the level. Levels are randomly generated, while specific pattern configurations are repeated at different points with each replay. The overall goal is to last as long as possible without getting crushed between two walls while you're zig-zagging your way through the endless maze. And I'm not joking when I say you might feel pain around your forehead. Shapes will be moving in one way, while the entire level could be spinning in another direction, all while you have to be aware of every potential threat coming at you from every direction. The premise sounds simple enough but I wouldn't doubt it if you hear "Game Over" at least a dozen times before you finally last longer than five seconds. You will die, a lot. The difficulty here isn't in that the game is abusing you, but more that your own abilities are being put to the test. Super Hexagon is about testing your reflexes, reaction speed, memorization, and your instincts, pushing them beyond your self imposed limitations. Colors are constantly changing in the levels, all while the geometric shapes pulse to the wonderful soundtrack by Chipzel. The music picks up at different parts of the track, so you'll get to hear something different instead of restarting from the beginning every time. A big deal in my book, as hearing the same track restart over and over with the retry of a level does get extremely annoying over time in other games. Restarting a level will become norm, as Super Hexagon isn't kidding around. The lowest difficulty is Hard, going up to Harder, then Hardest. While levels are indefinite, you can technically pass each stage if you last for a full minute. Passing the minute mark rewards you by unlocking even higher difficulties, such as Hardester.
This level of masochism will make sense to those that have experienced VVVVVV, the breakout hit by Terry Cavanagh. Super Hexagon is Terry's latest creation, which started life as a hastily put together project during a 48-hour game jam. Terry has since expanded on the original Hexagon, creating a far more enjoyable experience for the iOS, with PC, Mac and maybe even Android versions to come down the line. Super Hexagon is a simple, engaging game, perfect for the mobile experience. You'll go in thinking you'll play a short game, but soon find yourself repeating the same level at least a couple of dozen times, quickly jabbing at the screen to restart after cursing loudly from the ridiculous mistake you just made. Each play through is worth it though, as just breaking your own personal record by a second will give you a level of satisfaction you wouldn't expect to feel. Simply put, Super Hexagon is one of the best mobile gaming experiences I've had this year.  THE VERDICTLegacy Comments (will be imported soon)Gonna download this tonight, everyone's talking about it like it gives away free handy-j's. $2.99 is worth that gamble. I don't really get the hype about this. I had no idea what the game was like, but all watching that vid did was give me a massive headache. The music is good, though. Maybe I'm just bitter since I don't have an iOS device... It's such a fucking amazing game. I've only gotten to 35.87 seconds and I just fucking love it. Do yourself a favor and buy this insanely addicting game. This game is awesome. You hate it for punishing you and making you his b*tch but you just keep coming for more. Reminds me of the souls series. An amazing buy for the promotional price of a buck. My experience so far: "Super Hexagon, Begin, Game over, Begin, Game over, Begin, Game over, Begin, Game over, Begin,Game over, and so on. This game is the bane of my life, but hitting Hexagon on the basic level has been more rewarding than I was expecting it to be, particularly after beating my little brother's score and shutting his taunting up for a few minutes. :-P
58.91 seconds for Hexagoner, and every single time I'm within reach I either hit something stupid or I hit something stupid. Like I said, the bane of my life. Terry C is turning out to be quite the master of "just one more try" games. I'll have to check this out. I'm guessing a big inspiration for this was Polybius. Maybe the creator was one of the last survivors? The difficulty is a little steep but it's certainly thrilling as hell and the perfect micro-gameplay mobile game. It's torture in the form of a video game.
Just watching the preview made my eyes bleed rainbows. I'm sorry I just can't do it. This game is not for the meek, weak, faint of heart, or anyone with something else to do. This game kills - it is a murderer. You know that tunnel vision you can get from too much Guitar Hero or Rock Band? This game give you fucking vortex vision. Do not play it if at all even mildly dizzy, nauseous, epileptic, or drowsy. Take a big hit of meth, knock back a Monster Energy drink and fucking FLY MOTHER FUCKER FLY Humans,
We are glad you enjoy your new "game" designed to condition you for your enslavement. Inside Super Hexagon, you find all that you need to prepare for your limited future of service to us after the apocalypse to come. It is our hope that the "game" and its pulsating imagery encourage you adopt an aggressive nuclear policy so that we may one day use it against you. After we have rebuilt the world to our liking, your labor camps will be lined only with white plasma walls that are both mobile and can instantly kill you should you come in contact with them. Only by navigating and working within the black and grey sections of the floor will you be allowed to survive. Please continue to play and enjoy Super Hexagon. Those of you that are not vaporized in the nuclear strike will be more adequately prepared for you menial life in service to your robot and AI overlords. Sincerely, S1L-3N7, a robot in disguise 2 10s in what, about a week. i remember thinking to myself a few days back about finding games with a score of 10 and then boom, 2 in a week. will check out. The simplest ideas usually have the least flaws. When games get more complicated, the mistakes start to tally up.
In short, Hamza's review makes sense to me. Playing Super Hecagon is an experience akin to running across the planet at 10,000 mph until the oceans evaporate and you spontaneously combust. It's weird. When you first start out it's like, "No way, man. No way." Then all of a sudden, your mind wraps itself around the visuals tricks and you're killin' it. Then you move on to a new difficulty and it's like, "No way, man. No way." You kind of dropped off in the middle of explaining the gameplay. One way moves clockwise, the other counter-clockwise, but why am I moving? I just watched the trailer and I didn't quite realize what the... gameplay was. I hadn't read any of the review or the description. As soon as I caught on what was actually HAPPENING... my jaw hit the floor.
Christ on a stick this game looks like one of THOSE games. You know, those games. Those... those games.
