Super hexagon final level6/16/2023 One of my central assumptions will be that my performance from match to match is stationary, that is, my score on match n is independent of my score on previous matches and does not depend on how many matches I have played.Ī few attempts at fitting the cumulative distribution accomplish nothing but to convince me of the futility of this exercise. Additionally, I played a few warm-up matches before recording statistics. I have already been playing this game off and on for about a month, so there’s reason to believe that my learning curve is relatively flat. I played 150 consecutive games on “hexagonest” mode and recorded my score (survival time) for each. First I generated some data on my gameplay. The goal of Super Hexagon is to dodge an endless stream of collapsing line segments and survive as long as possible. So given that a typical game for me lasts about 8 seconds, how many times do I have to play until I surmount the final barrier? ![]() There is no natural end, just a series of checkpoints, the last of which (“Hexagon”) comes at 60 seconds. A single game can cost less than 5 seconds before you crash into one of the infinite, endlessly collapsing geometric shapes. ![]() ![]() The feeling is akin to what I imagine slot machine play must feel like to a gambling addict. The gameplay is addictive, to say the least. Terry Cavanagh’s Super Hexagon is the hardest game I’ve ever played.
