Oh, here’s a tip if you’re actually playing the game: play the harder difficulties while you’re still at the easier ones - even if you don’t get far, it will help a lot with learning.īy default, the game does not provide an option to enable Anti-Aliasing. There is a Square and Pentagon mode where the central pattern changes accordingly, but the occurence of those modes doesn’t seem to be very much correlated to the level you’re in. Initially, I had assumed they had something to do with the kind of patterns that appear, but that doesn’t really seem to be the case. The levels in each difficulty are called Point, Line, Triangle, Square, Pentagon and Hexagon, that’s why those names are always in the corners. Level info screen after you died (difficulty 3/6) Hyper mode of difficulty 2 (so, difficulty 5/6): this is faaaast, I can barely survive 10 seconds here

This one is from the hard (3/6) difficulty it goes pretty fast, I’m telling you I would record a video myself, but I’m just too bad at this (yet!) 😉Įasy difficulty: at least there’s not too much sh*t on the screen Oh, or go watch this guy - completely crazy.

I have a few screenshots here, but you definitely should watch a youtube video to get an idea what the game is like screenshots really don’t cut it in this case. When you die, everything is reset (except your best time).

The order of the patterns is always random. The game gets continuously faster and more patterns appear the longer you survive. It’s not really a level-based game tough it’s a “highscore” kind of game, where you continuously try to improve your previous highscore.Īfter each 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 seconds, you’ll reach the next level in a selected difficulty. If you survive for 60 seconds or more, you win the difficulty. You’re controlling a cursor which can only move around a circle (controlled using the right and left arrow keys) you have to evade lines moving from the corners of the screen towards the center. No bonuses, no extra rules, no stuff very simple, yet fun to play. The game is well done it’s basically just one single concept. There’s two little tweaks you might want to do tough for those see below.

Also, the price was € 2,99 - reason enough to try it out.įortunately, the game works without problems on Linux nothing went wrong, everything from purchase over download to startup worked as expected. I watched a few videos altough technically extremely simple, it seemed to be quite difficult and quite crazy - and I love games where most people would be like “urgh why would you play that” ( Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup is still one of my favourites). This one, Super Hexagon, caught my attention pretty quickly it looked like you could put it together in QML in a few days. There’s currently 131 games available for Linux on steam (yesterday it was 126, so it’s getting more quite rapidly, apparently). Random Screenshot from Difficulty 2 (of 6)

So, in conclusion: Installation is easy, the software works as expected. I couldn’t get the flashplayer to work, which is required to display some videos in the steam browser - this is probably because I had uninstalled it before and installed gnash instead and whatnot… anyways, I don’t care about flash, if it doesn’t work then I can live with that. Other than that, the software is stable, no crashes or glitches. Startup and shutdown of the program are a bit slow, but this seems mainly related to account login and “cloud”™ nonsense. in paths) - looks like someone disassembled the Ubuntu / Debian package 😉

Starting the program from command line yields a few debug messages mentioning Ubuntu (e.g. I’m using Arch Linux, and the cool people working on arch linux packages of course already have a package for steam - so installation was easy enough (just pacman -Sy steam).
