MooseFisher adequately sums up my thoughts on the matter. It's like I know where I want to go, but it's either not fast enough, or the keys aren't precise enough to get me there.
My recommendation would be to either use the mouse, or go with a "floating arrow" that can touch the lines, but gets pushed inward, and if it touches the middle, it's game over. A good example is the game of falldown, where the ball rests on the platform till it finds a hole to go through. There's no need to avoid the platforms altogether.
Reviews for "Hexagon"
First thing first: This game music rocks my socks off i love. But i think a few tiny adjustment would make it more enjoyable.
1.The difficulty curve is off the charts. It's not a bad thing in and of itself but it will make the butthurt/fun ratio lean toward butthurtness.
2.The control are way too twitchy. while i understand you need to go fast to be able to go 180 degrees but a button for more precise movement would make this game a lot less frustating especialy when the stop and go spirals starts apearing.
3.Counter-intuitive. the paterns makes you want to go left when you need to go right.
4.Playing this game made me thing this was made to be played with an oldschool atari spinner.
Otherwise excellant game. aside that after achieving the triangle status i wanted to punch my keyboard into tiny tiny pieces.
Love the music but the controls are a tad sensitive. If you barely press the arrow keys your arrow flies around in circles. I kept over shooting the openings and that gets irritating after awhile. Never got past the 2nd level because the controls are just too sensitive. also not to mention that the right arrows makes it go left and left makes it go right. Good concept though. Nice try
Really should have had this control with the mouse and not the arrow keys. Otherwise it's an okay game, not really bad but just mediocre.
one word HARD if anybody can get passed level 1 you are a god i did my best of like an hour and i can't
i will try later but for now the game has won lol
