![]() I perished dozens, if not hundreds of times before finally "completing" the game's first level. The titular shape isn't the only one that players will encounter. As I worked my way up from barely clocking in five seconds on the game's first level to comfortably reaching the sixty second checkpoint, I felt a sense of achievement. It's daunting at first, but contrary to the feelings of outright rage elicited by most of its genre brethren, improving one's skills at Super Hexagon garners a feeling of true skill growth. Invariably, the game speeds up and the obstacles become more intricate, demanding lightning-quick reflexes and spur-of-the-moment decision making. The game takes just two buttons to play, tasking players with guiding a tiny triangle around the perimeter of a geometric shape (initially, but not always, a hexagon) as obstacles pour down the constantly-rotating screen from all directions. Super Hexagon is another of those deceptively simple twitch reflex games that flourished in the arcade era and have reemerged thanks to the advent of smartphone gaming. Players will soon pick up on patterns, which is key to survival. And second, once you're in, good luck getting out. First, you're likely to lose yourself entirely in Super Hexagon and become oblivious to the happenings of the world around you as you struggle frantically to stay alive in the game's colorful polygonal world. This comparison is valid in two contexts. Playing Super Hexagon with headphones on and your nose mere inches away from a computer monitor is an experience akin to being in a trance. Maybe it's fixed now? I'll be back if it's not, and I can't see why it would, so I probably will.Also Available On: iOS, Android, Blackberry, Linux, Mac Update: I just played for about 15 minutes with no problems to speak of. Especially since this is the only game or program, even Steam game, that is having this problem. That seems a little more specfic then a faulty keyboard, I think. If I die in the game, I can still restart as often as I like, though I'll still be moving right, but if I die by pressing escape, or if I press escape after dying to try to select a new difficulty, the game locks. ![]() Not even escape will work anymore) I can no longer move left, or even right. (it will kill me or go back to a previous menu first, but then no keys will respond until I restart the game. When this happens, pressing escape will now lock the game up, and nothing will respond. At some random point during a session, the game will react as though I'm holding right when I am not. This problem isn't happening in other games, and it's not as simple as my right key sticking. So what happened today? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?Īs I said, it doesn't seem related to my keyboard. ![]() If I close out the entire game, it goes back to normal, at least for the moment.Īs I said, yesterday, I could play for upwards of 30 minutes straight, flipping between difficulties even, and nothing of note ever happened. I'd think the game was frozen, but some things still move, like the color-changing text on the screen. I can press Tab to see the scores, but that's it. I can't move, I can't select the setting I'm on, and I can't press escape to go further back. I can restart the game as much as like, but if I hit escape to go back to the difficulty selector, all control is lost. Even if I die, which I will very shortly, I can still restart the game, but my controls will still not work.Īfter I start moving right, I am resigned to the current difficulty. I'll be perfectly still, and then moments later, it's just going right. It doesn't seem related to how often I press right or left, and sometimes, it will start moving when I am not pressing anything. Sometimes it happens in mere seconds, other times it takes as long as 5 minutes. Whichever mode I choose, Hexagon, Hexagoner, Hexagonest, this will happen sooner or later. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. I can't stand still though, so it hardly matters. ![]() (Thomas Was Alone, here on Steam, works just fine) Pressing right no longer does anything, but I can "fight it" with left. ![]() I have played other games which involve right and left with no odd effects. Always right, and never left, as though my right key were sticking. Today, within minutes of playing, I always get the same glitch my character - triangle? whatever - will start automatically moving right. I bought this game yesterday and played for hours. ![]()
