    I've been trying to respond to comments more often lately actually! I mostly read comments on my phone while I'm out of the house though, which makes commenting on them sort of clumsy. When I'm at home I spend most of my time recording or working on other channel stuff, but I'm going to keep trying to improve my audience interaction.

      ehsanjames32 actually, the screen turns white and you can't die for like 4 seconds cuz no obsticales appear on the screen when you get to after 60s in hyper hexagon

    • @ehsanjames32
      @ehsanjames32 10 лет назад

      Ilija The Ja Nope, when you finish the sixth level they play you a long scene of all levels, I did it twice, once on my phone and once on my ipad.

    this is the art of minimalist gaming: it's simple, beautiful, and solid in its gameplay.
    Terry Cavanagh is a genius, not just in the brilliant game design, but in picking Chipzel's music for the soundtrack.

    I would like to point out, A) I would call this action/arcade, not puzzle B) there IS a flash game on kongregate, just called hexagon, it is produced by same dev, and it is slightly easier.
    I find that putting your consciousness on the back-burner actually helps, in my opinion

      Hexagonest: 63.48
      Hyper Hexagon: 118.55

  • @ANeMzero
    @ANeMzero 11 лет назад

    This has probably already been said, but you're actually right both when you say the levels are random, and that they are preset. The levels are built up from a variety of different patterns. Some patterns are exclusive to certain difficulties, while others are exclusive to certain stages within a difficulty.
    Beyond that the levels also have preset patterns they follow in terms of when they deploy the patterns. Hexagoner is random solo pieces until 5 seconds, where it will always use a pattern.

    "Making you less likely to do well" is what "adding difficulty" means. If you play this game, you will get better. Take this from somebody who has actually played this game, it is really fun and really difficult.

    How to not suck at Super Hexagon:
    1. turn off v-sync, you will experience a lot less input lag.
    2. don't use a keyboard. some people like using a mouse, but I personally like using an xbox controller.
    3. don't freak out, stay focused and don't give up.
    4. if the adrenaline from the songs keeps you going, use that. some people like calm music to stay focused.
    5. don't say you can't do it. you can. eventually, with enough practice, you can master this game. it's extremely repetitive.

  • @tube1971
    @tube1971 11 лет назад

    Love this game. Though one thing this video doesn't convey given the narration is how rewarding the music is - you get a few moments further and the music kicks into some new chord change and it just adds to the intensity and rush.

  • @Jindo1
    @Jindo1 11 лет назад

    I think the levels are generated from a selection of waves of obstacles, like the Super Gravitron in VVVVVV, certain combinations of walls will always appear together.

    @Darkblade13913 11 лет назад

    I love games like this, they're great time-wasters (in a good way of course)! The last game that had this same kind of "one last run" attraction was "The Impossible Game." Stayed up until 6:00 A.M. trying to beat the levels. Good times...

    You've never spent much time with old NES/SNES action games..or even arcade games?
    Trust me..this is true difficulty..everything can be done..things just require you to be able to keep up a steady flow of activity..and it slowly require you to get more and more precise.

    Hyper Hexagon: 74
    Hyper Hexagoner: 121

    It feels like it randomly chooses difficult phases determined by game difficulty, the chances of each phase is at random, but the set form of each phase i.e. back to back exit closing hexagon seem exists in every level but at different phase changes, rotation and speed.

    Not at all. There are only a couple, very distinct skill sets at play, here. You see a pattern, figure out how to navigate it and execute with your fingers. Seeing becomes memorizing, figuring out becomes remembering and navigating becomes muscle memory as your skill increases, but the game doesn't end there. It has to ramp up, right? So it makes it more difficult to accurately recognize a pattern, the patterns become more difficult to learn, and you get less time to react. Perfectly fair.
