Things could be really interesting with only simple geometric shapes, depending on how the composition is or how the objects are oriented. As we have done with the geometric abstraction assignment, I felt more confident that an artwork does not necessarily have to be so complicated having realistic objects (for example, 3D art in FPS games).
What I thought was very interesting about this work was that although the artwork in this game is all just geometric shapes, it is very addicting and many people I have talked to who plays this game really is into it. There are 6 levels in Super Hexagon, their difficulties range from “Hard” to “Hardestestest”–this is suggesting how hard this game is. So once you get to Hexagon, you have beaten that level. For new players this is incredibly difficult and they die in approximately 5 seconds (without exaggeration).Īt 10 seconds you get to “Line”, 15 seconds is “Triangle”, 30 seconds is “Square”, 45 seconds is “Pentagon”, and 60 seconds is “Hexagon”. If you get hit by any of the incoming ‘walls’ you die and you have to start all over again from the beginning.
The basic idea of this game is that your are controlling the small triangle in the middle of the screen with arrow keys (hold left to move counter-clockwise and the right arrow to move clockwise).
While working on different assignments for our IMGD 300X course, I’ve been reminded several times about a game from Terry Cavanagh.
