The controls are simple: the player must pivot the triangle to the opening in order to survive. The pace of the game progressively gets more difficult the longer the player has survived and to distract players, the game features a chiptune soundtrack, a background that regularly changes color, and walls that occasionally change direction. The game contains six different difficulty levels, beginning at hard (Hexagon), harder (Hexagoner), and hardest (Hexagonest). Additional, 'Hyper' difficulty stages can be unlocked by surviving for over sixty seconds on a level. Super Hexagon started off as a smaller game prototype titled Hexagon, made and released in one day for the late February 2012 game jam Pirate Kart V. As the game's designer Terry Cavanagh saw potential in the project, he decided to increase the game's difficulty and expand upon its concept. Cavanagh has stated that he is 'not much of a visual artist,' thus settling on a minimal look quickly. The visuals of Super Hexagon are barely different from its original Hexagon iteration. Over the course of developing Super Hexagon, Cavanagh had played through it a large amount of time, becoming particularly experienced with the mechanics. During the development of the game, Cavanagh made various changes based on 'what felt good', before starting the beta testing process. Cavanagh found that anyone could beat the game once they get better reflexes and a better understanding of the game's mechanics. Super Hexagon is voiced by journalist Jenn Frank.

Super hexagon icon full#įrank stated that, when a game like Super Hexagon is almost entirely created by a single person, it can become a very personal piece of work 'a product of thousands of tiny decisions, and every one is the reflection of the person who made it, what they're like, and what they think about.' Music Super HexagonĪfter Cavanagh used Chipzel's track 'Courtesy' in the original Hexagon game, he again sought to use her music in the full game Super Hexagon. Chipzel happily obliged, and created a three-track chiptune soundtrack that was subsequently released as Super Hexagon EP. The soundtrack again included the track 'Courtesy', as well as 'Focus' from Chipzel's previous album Phonetic Symphony and a new track titled 'Otis'. Each track corresponded to a level in the game: 'Courtesy' was used on the Hexagon level, 'Otis' on the Hexagoner level, and 'Focus' on the Hexagonest level.

When a level in Super Hexagon is restarted, the track always starts off at a random place in order to keep players from feeling like they have to start back from the beginning every time. Fittingly enough, the music that plays in the ending (lasting 60 seconds on Hyper Hexagonest) is a reversed and higher pitched version of Focus. In late 2015, the EP was re-released on hexagonal vinyl. ^ Martin Robinson (September 11, 2012).^ 'Super Hexagon now available for Blackberry 10'.^ 'Review: Super Hexagon - Hardcore Gamer'.^ a b c Leigh, Alexander (October 25, 2012).'Terry Cavanagh and the heart of Super Hexagon'. ^ ' 'Hexagon' is Terry Cavanagh's latest jam'.^ a b Fletcher, JC (September 21, 2012).'Terry Cavanagh goes inside Super Hexagon'. ^ 'Finding Your Voice - Indie MEGABOOTH'.'Super Hexagon Soundtrack Coming to Hexagonal Vinyl'.
