The goal is to survive as long as possible but, like the greatest arcade games of old, each session always ends with failure and a "Game Over" screen. At its most basic, I suppose, you're just rotating a small triangle around a central hexagon to avoid segmented walls that are constantly encroaching from the edges of the screen.
The written word seems particularly unsuited to describe what playing Super Hexagon is like. As I'm writing this, my brain has been temporarily rewired by playing a half hour or so of Super Hexagon, one of the most maddeningly addictive iOS gaming experiences I've ever played. As I type this, my brain is semi-consciously calling attention to the gaps between the letters and words in front of me and mapping out the most efficient path to navigate through them.
Super Hexagon is currently available for iOS from £1.99.As I write this, it's taking all my willpower to tell myself the letters I'm typing aren't pulsing and rotating and changing colors as they appear on the screen. I’m hoping Super Hexagon will be out on PC and Mac REALLY soon – I’m working flat out to make that happen! He has expressed disappointment that Open Hexagon beat Super Hexagon to the PC, but he appears to be okay with it.Ĭommenting on Twitter, Cavanagh said: “I’m a little upset that he released it before I had a chance to release Super Hexagon on PC myself – but I’m basically alright with it! I’ve just checked it out there, and it’s not bad at all – the harder octagon stage was pretty cool.
I got his permission to make a ‘Super Hexagon inspired game’, I just hope this is not stretching it.”Ĭavanagh wasn’t expecting Super Hexagon to be “ cloned on PC” when he’d given Vee Software permission to use his concept. “I’ve credited Terry Cavanagh everywhere I could, and I don’t want my game to be competition, but a tribute to his work. “I want to make clear that the resemblance to the original game is very high, even if it’s not an exact clone,” the developer wrote.
