Leave a Review Super Hexagon
Wow!
This has been a staple in my relationship with my partner for the past 4 years. I always wondered, “why is he always playing that darn game??”, “what’s so special about it?!?”. Well. Let me tell you. He finally Introduced this game to me tonight and I have to say, I cannot put it down. This game makes me use my brain in ways I have never used before. The feeling I get when I beat my last score is like learning I’m going to Disney world for the first time over and over again. But when I fail… all I want to do is try and beat it. This has to have some sort of weird psychology behind it. In the past 30 minutes of playing, I went from 2 seconds up to 20 seconds. I feel my brain moving. WHAT IS THIS MAGIC OF A GAME. Thank you kind app developer. You have brought meaning into my life in 2024.Show lessNearly perfect!
Ninety-nine percent of iOS games are abysmal, but there're a few that shine through. I've traditionally held exactly three in that regard: Threes!, VVVVVV, and Super Hexagon, and also secondarily osu!stream. What makes this so great? Well, as long as you can put up with the difficulty for the first week or so, it's a wonderful game to pass the time and to forever want to improve at: no ads, no IAPs, no nothing, just the six levels and your high scores on them. Why's it so hard? Because the game's creator designs things to feel good to him, and he has claimed that he "has the attention span of a four-year-old" who doesn't like waiting for things to happen. (VVVVVV has no cutscenes longer than c. 30 seconds if you mash through the text.) Why did I dock a star then? So as to not look *too* flattering on this as to get ignored; it's totally not because it's possible to be so good at the game as to get banned off the leaderboards. (My 815:07 has video proof.)Show lessIt’s fun but unsatisfying without music.
The game is truly great very minimal, and extremely simple to learn. It is a true challenge to get good at. I love the soundtrack to the game I really do, it fits the style beautifully but my game produces no sound at all.
I’ve tried re-downloading the game a couple of time but still nothing, without the glorious soundtrack and sound FX the game feels very (VERY) hollow and exceptionally unsatisfying to play. For that reason I cannot give it 5 stars I’m truly hard pressed to give it 4, the only reason I do is because I know how good it can be. My experience though has been less than stellar.Show less
