It is a basic idea that unites many indie titles which, as if to rediscover the joys and pains of the video game of the past, have become somewhat the ideal representatives of the arcade of the past.Įasy to describe, impossible to finish. The concept that permeates the title reflects Cavanagh's philosophy, which aims to offer products that are easy to use, immediate but which, if completed, repay all the mental energy spent. The plate is enriched by the continuous simultaneous and totally random rotation of the dashboard, which will slow down or accelerate the movement of the arrow according to the synergy of the direction of rotation. As a sort of running game, the two-dimensional game board will throw concentric geometric obstacles against the small arrow protagonist to avoid by moving clockwise or counterclockwise, translated on the keyboard in the alternation of left-right. To describe Super Hexagon it is very simple, its philosophy makes it such an immediate product that it almost seems like a pastime rather than a title with its own playful dignity. The new creature from the respected indie designer didn't take long to arrive on Steam, following the success of iOS, adding to the package five difficulty levels, some online leaderboards and a couple of audio tracks created by the skilled artist Chipzel. Born as a flash game and evolved into Super Hexagon, Cavanagh's latest creature is the most minimalist of his works, with a basic but tremendously stimulating audio-video design and a hardcore soul that will test even the most experienced of his fans.
Terry Cavanagh puts triple A franchise on one side, Hollywood-style intermission scenes on the other and just before Christmas gives the market the maximum expression of his concept of ludus: simple, pure and quality gameplay. In a moment of almost total absence of ideas, the Cambridge indie designer returns to the stage to forcefully claim the limelight.
