So 23:50 is my best after a few dozen attempts. Wish I could have done better but when you have the vibrations of a person whos thunderous steps penetrate though everything it becomes impeding to reflexes and just plain distracting. And this is against a game thats pulsing and flashing and rotating and changing directions and just plain trying to disorientate.
I love this. But I seem to over steer a lot and it kills me. Especially in the spirals. DAMN YOU SPIRALS!
I can't help but feeling the main difficulty in this game is the perception it plays on the players eyes. I can't say I know many games that intentionally do this. I'm not sure if it does it to everyone but for me the main difficulty curve was training your eyes to continually try to focus on the outer most part to plan your next move while trying to be accurate at the most center part. The movement of everything seems to be dragging my focus inward when i have to be focused outward. It's obvious to me, that the difficulty comes from having to train yourself to not to let your eyes focus in on the center.
if the game was not successful at drawing your eyes inward I suspect the difficulty would be much easier, but thats why I like the game...the difficulty is continually "checking" the way you're perceiving the environment in the game. In order to win you have to be somewhat "counter-intuitive."
I'm not sure on the whole "leveling" thing considering the difficulty seems to be almost relatively the same through out. I got stuck getting the 30 sec mark, but the game i achieved the 30 sec mark, i almost achieved the 60 sec mark and only missed it by a second or two.
I enjoyed the difficulty of it, and the leniency on the hit detection keeps people from getting frustrated. I still have a perceptual problem of recognizing which is left and right depending on my orientation but if I mastered it I'm sure I could hit the 200 sec mark like i saw one commenter got close to.
one a side note, kind of reminds me of VVVVVV.
great game.
can't even pass the second level. awesome game though.
Awesome! You can clearly see a difference between this and Super Hexagon:) The only 2 annoying things were the small lags and the fact, that you could not hit the walls\sides of the hexagons and that made the game very hard for me, because I was used to doing that in Super Hexagon.
Anyways, great "demo" of Super Hexagon! You make great demos of your games, you allow players to experience a big part of the original game, unlike many other game developers. Good job, Terry! ;)
Nice nostalgia
