Bryan Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Super Hexagon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sz0mI_6tLQ The motion is totally pre-calcable and it benefits greatly from multiple shades of the same color. This is quite doable on the A8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'd like to do a version of this for the Atari 2600. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The A8 pulled off Yoomp very well - this should be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Pereira Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yes 2600 without hexagons but with 'nice' same colour lots of luminances and 90degrees turns. At least would be no problem with the code and name if it's an already Registered one: SQUARON!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm sure you could do a game that feels close enough to Super Hexagon on the 2600. Especially with the Melody. I bet you could even get some great music in there (I wouldn't even attempt it without a good techno track). http://chipzelmusic.bandcamp.com/album/super-hexagon-ep ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is quite doable on the A8. What's really the idea of this game? You have that small triangle ship and have to do what? It's always at the most 'inside part'? Found a video that the Tittle is "SUPER HEXAGON: The most difficult game ever?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 What's really the idea of this game? You have that small triangle ship and have to do what? It's always at the most 'inside part'? The simple answer is: Don't let the little triangle touch one of the moving lines. As the lines converge on the center, they form a sort of maze that must be navigated. There are a lot of games where the player must steer a ship through scrolling obstacles. The difference is that the game is now wrapped around the center of the screen.

+Adam+ Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 So basically this game is similar to Yoomp, but much faster, with no jumping and the direction of tube's movement is inversed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 So basically this game is similar to Yoomp, but much faster, with no jumping and the direction of tube's movement is inversed? Yes. You're in the middle, not the outside. This is graphically simpler and much more of a coordination test. It works well with tablets because tablet controls suck and this only has left and right.

Dripfree Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Just to let you guys know this video got me interested. So I read a little more on the game and ended up paying the $3. It's very addictive I've played for about 2 hours and got a high score of only 28 seconds. Very difficult but even harder to put down.
