![]() I aboslutely love the soundtrack but it can be a hindrance, getting your blood pumping when the gameplay already has you amped up! The day I beat Hyperhexagonist for the first time, and then repeatedly beat it thereafter, I had this song on repeat in the background: muting the game and playing your own music instead. The real challenge is sustaining focus the longer the game goes on. You just need to learn how to recognize the patterns ahead of time (you should be looking at outside edge of screen to see what's coming next, not at the cursor in the middle), and then it's practically automatic response thanks to muscle memory. There is a set series of moves to negotiate any given pattern. They do a great job of explaining the techniques to use for the different patterns. I also recommend consulting some of the user guides here ( Edit: added links below). Record your games and review to see what you're doing wrong taking time to adjust strategy is many times more effective than repeating the same mistakes over and over again in an attempt to brute force your way through. Especially if you die near the end, get up and walk around and do some controlled breathing for a minute or so to get your head right before trying again. Limit sessions to no more than 30 minutes. If I kept to mindlessly attacking the stage for 1-3 hours straight it would've taken me forever to beat the damn thing (seriously, 15-30 minutes session done right is worth more than 2-3 hour one). ![]() When I beat the final stage I was playing for max 15 minutes at a time, and meditating / square breathing in between each attempt that lasted longer than 10 seconds. You lose focus and strain your eyes, and then start to overthink things and mess up the flow. I spent too many sessions going at levels repeatedly with no break (and in some cases after a few drinks which doesn't help any!). I believe I was 15-20 hours playtime when I beat Hyper Hexagonist and I felt that was overly long. Are you using the keyboard? It's possible to use any of the input controls, after period of adjustment to switch between them, but I found keyboard least prone to silly errors.ħ5 hours is a huge length of time. ![]()
