Reviews for Hexagon

[MooseFisher]

The nature of this game has pushed me to writing my first review.

I enjoy the sounds, look, and idea. The execution seems to create a glass ceiling.

The obstacles are all based on the hexagon layout, yet the movement is not. What I mean is, rather than simply pressing the arrows to move to a different area, you have to hold the arrow keys to drag yourself to safety. Often, this resulted in over and under-shots that ended the game, even if the player symbol was just a little bit in the wrong region.
In addition, it seems you have created a very hard wall for the transition to level 2. I often encountered a very tight corkscrew that I was unable to move through fast enough. Another was a less tight corkscrew, but with thick blocks in the way. These combined with the speed of the obstacles and the rotation of the screen made for a near-impossible challenge.

I suppose the dragging works well for the ipad and iphone, but it doesn't work with the arrow keys.

If the system is to dodge obstacles in a hex pattern, I suggest the movement system be a single key press to move to the next region. This will still require quick reflexes and control while minimizing the 'off by a margin' failures.

Again, I love the idea, sounds, and look. Please tweak the movement system!

Should make the arrow less sensitive.

I want to like this game. Incredibly challenging but the controls are crap. Needs a mouse option for more precise control. arrow keys just dont do it.

In all honesty I want TO get into this, and be part of the fun, I would have gave this a full 5 stars up but due to it's insane difficulty, I must rate a 3, this may be nitpicky, but the difficulty of this game is very hard, and leads me so I can hardly even beat the 2nd level. I think the problem is rather then using the keyboard you should have made it so we can use the mouse instead as that for most people would be much easier to control. Or have at least added a easy mode, it's really hard to squeeze that arrow through those huge mazes that pop up and will not go slow for you. The game was just very hard overall. But as for the good stuff, the music was awesome, and the concept is awesome, like I said, it just should have at least had an easy mode, the difficulty makes it so most can't get very far, and we don't want that, we want to enjoy it.
Goob job, overall.

Not as much fun as the real version! but this is a good demo
