Feb. 2025

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 game is a lowly $3. And yet, with it you get: - 6 insanely hard levels that could likely take several hours each - 3 immortal banger songs - Visuals that are a feast for the eyes - Satisfying sound design - Leaderboards and the ability to play levels for a very, very long time (as long as you can handle it) If you're looking for a budget title that can still keep you hooked, this could be it! It is more than worth the three dollars. It's simple, yet it's very effective.

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.
