March 2025
this game is AWESOME A really simple game about hexagon (and sometimes pentagon and square/quadrilateral) with a really simple control which is 2 buttons, left & right/a & d/M1 & M2 I knew this game when i was smol, got a pirated version on my phone, played it a lil bit then uninstalled it, fast forward to last year i remembered about this game and I was on a spending spree, looking for games to 100% I bought it, did not play it until this month (march 2025), and when staring my journey in this game, I thought it was going to be so annoying like my experience with project rhombus, I hated it, but This game proved me wrong, this game was annoying to play when I hit the 0,6 hours playtime and stopped my first session, then started my second session, it was around 11 PM on a friday, I was free to stay up late, and let me tell you, I now have a new favourite activity to do, listening to albums while playing super hexagon. I don't know why, but my brain picked up and understand lyrics on songs so much more then usual, it's very relaxing, and I found new artist I love (some albums I listen to: good kid m.A.A.d city, the worst album ever, butterfly, etc.). Now, I did have to focus to get the achievements, (shout out to a guide, I cannot find it but it goes lie "how to get good/better at super hexagon, it have awesome tips, I remember one of them is to not blink, which I think its funny but you can blink and still be good dw) 2/6 achievement I had to play in complete silent, I really locked in atm, my brother told me I looked like I was in some polybius focus typeshit. But the other achievements I listen to songs and one achievement (the hyper hexagonest one) to a documentary/podcast (?). Also the game edge me 3 times, I died at 55s-59s in 3 difficulty, one of them was 59.51s :despair:, but it is what it is lmao. Lastly, this game is so addicting, but not as addicting as coke (i think, idk I never drink coke), I can't stop playing everytime I'm in a session over 10 minutes. That's the end of my review, I really love this game, and will keep playing it took me 6.4 hours to 100% If you're hesitant to buy this game, BUY IT, it's good and you 'might' enjoy it cause I sure did (unless you have epilepsy, if you do DON'T BUY IT) Also this game is pretty much practice to pattern recognition, reaction time, and focus-ness (?) Rating 7.7/10 Enjoyment 8.2/10

So, I originally played and beat this 10 years ago with my High School Robotic's club's friend's DRM-free copy. We all would have a go at Hexagonest and eventually Hyper Hexagonest in between working on Robotics stuff, and it was one of the games that shaped how I thought of game development going forward. 10 years later, here I am finally paying that money off 2-fold (gifted an extra copy to a friend) and slowly getting through it. I can't sit here and play it as much anymore due to work and other obligations, but I love this game and the memories it brings. One of these days I'll have the official achievement on Steam to show that I can still beat Hyper Hexagonest, but until that day comes, I'll continue trying.

This is a really fun and challenging arcade style game where you point an arrow through obstacles of increasing speed, complexity, and shape. There are numerous levels in the game and it has a great soundtrack. Just today I completed the final stage and that stage was significantly harder than any other stage by a long shot. It took me a couple weeks of on and off playing, but it was worth it because doing well in this game is satisfying and gets you into a flow state. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good challenge and satisfying gameplay.

Finally, after a long time, I have beaten the Hyper Hexagonest stage, and man, I couldn't be more euphoric. I first remember playing this game many moons ago. At that time, I was a young lad and was so proud to flaunt to my friends how good I was at this game. I used to play it on my cell phone back then and was never able to beat the last stage no matter how hard I tried. I came close many times but never was able to reach the 60-second mark. But today, I finally did it after all those years. Enough with the yapping about my history with this game; let's get to my final thoughts on it. I have so many memories and raw emotions connected to this simple and basic minimalist game. But Terry Cavanagh really crafted a masterpiece of a game, and I cannot recommend this game enough for how fun and stressful it is. Also, great soundtrack by Chipzel as well. It really gets you in the mood to escape the shapes. Thanks for all the fun times.
