A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Super Hexagon Neo is the upcoming big upgrade for Super Hexagon from Terry Cavanagh, originally released in 2012 it's remained a rather popular title. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/05/super-hexagon-is-getting-a-big-overhaul-available-in-beta-now
Hello everyone! Just a quick announcement to let you all know: - I have a new game coming out this Summer that I'm really excited about. It's called Dicey Dungeons, and I think it's the best game I've ever worked on. Consider wishlisting if you'd like to get a reminder when it's out! - I finally added trading cards to Super Hexagon. Hope you like them! (I've also added some for my other game, VVVVVV). - Both Super Hexagon and VVVVVV are currently in a 50% off week-long sale! Thanks for reading

This hardened gamer still has literal nightmares about that VVVVVV level where you hop along the undersides of wildly ping-ponging platforms while trying not to fall into a pit of spikes—you know, that level. And let's not even talk about how quickly my fat fingers fail at the psychedelic Super Hexagon. Terry Cavanagh's notorious for laying out challenges of immense difficulty—what will happen when he sinks his hands into the puzzle genre? We'll be finding out soon. Over on his Distractionware blog, Cavanagh has posted a screenshot of his next work-in-progress, a puzzle game with the oh-so-a
To coincide with IGF, PAX, GDC, OMG and WTF, Steam have slung up one of their impromptu sales, discounting tons of indie games to ensure that our libraries continue to heave under the sheer weight of unplayed games. How nice of them. I hope you've hidden your wallet after last time, because there are some cracking deals to be had, including Super Hexagon, Binding of Isaac and Terraria for silly money. There's no countdown, so I'm assuming the many games on sale are going to stay the same price until the sale ends on March 29th (the 'Featured' games will likely rotate day by day, without offe
Don't worry, the Humble Bundle for Android 5 may name-check Google's telephonic operating system but, in typically Humble fashion, the latest round-up of pay-what-you-want indie games is available for PC, Mac and Linux too. This version of cross-platform indie pick 'n mix includes four games as standard, with another two available to those who beat the average. Among them is the excellent Super Hexagon. Joining Terry Cavanagh's geometric avoid 'em up are music based schmup Beat Hazard Ultra, 2D action adventure Dynamite Jack, physics toybox Solar 2, and atmospheric puzzle platformer NightSky
BAFTA have released the nomination shortlist for the upcoming 2013 round of their Video Game awards. PS3 exclusive Journey tops the nomination leaderboard - it's up for eight categories. But Telltale's The Walking Dead and Ubisoft's Far Cry 3 aren't far behind, receiving nods in seven and six categories respectively. There's also strong indie recognition. Dear Esther is nominated for five awards, Thomas Was Alone for three, and both Proteus and Super Hexagon both receive a mention. The ceremony takes place on March 5th, and will streamed live on Twitch.tv. Tune in to find out if we live in a
I have no idea how this was done, but then, I fell off the LittleBigPlanet wagon a long time ago. This is "Hyper Hexagon," an adaptation of Super Hexagon rendered within LittleBigPlanet 2. Super Hexagon creator Terry Cavanagh knows about it; he retweeted a link to the game yesterday. Enjoy. Super Hexagon Meets LittleBigPlanet In Insane Video
Slipping quietly onto Google Play over the weekend, Kotaku game of the year contender Super Hexagon performs its seductive dance on Android owners, spinning it's way into this week's top charts. The spiraling shape will make you go insane, but that hasn't deterred Android gamers from getting a taste of the game that's drove iOS and PC players batty last year. I'm tempted to buy it again just to have it on my new phone, and the $.99 introductory sale price isn't helping matters. Oh screw it—bought. Along with Terry Cavanagh's sublime creation, Temple Run: Brave makes an appearance in the
The shortlist for the 15th IGF award finalists has been revealed. There were more than 580 entries this year, across an incredibly diverse range of genres, requiring the attention of some 200 judges to help pare down the games into seven award categories, with five nominees apiece. Contenders for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize are as follows: 80s-video-nasty-inspired, bloody, top-down actioner, Hotline Miami (Dennaton Games) Unforgiving, calamity-prone spaceship survival sim, FTL: Faster Than Light (Subset Games) Socially astute mundane-job sim-cum-arcade game, Cart Life (Richard Hofmeier) M
Terry Cavanagh, the man behind the indie hits VVVVVV and Super Hexagon (and, as such, the man whose name I've cursed thousands of times) has announced he's no longer to develop Nexus City, or its spin-off game Selma's Story. Nexus City was to be an RPG collaboration between Cavanagh and writer/developer Jonas Kyratzes, whose previous games include The Sea Will Claim Everything and the free Twine game Moonlight. Posting on his Distractionware blog, Cavanagh writes, "Originally a very small game, over time it grew completely out of control – at this point, Jonas and I have worked on it on and
Earlier today, our own Luke Plunkett nominated Crusader Kings II for Kotaku 2012 game of the year, writing that it's "the only game on this list that's about sex and politics." Sounds like a man who hasn't played Super Hexagon, right? Or. Actually. No. Super Hexagon (iOS, Steam) isn't about sex and politics. It's not about zombies or wandering across the sand with strangers. It's about spinning a little triangle around and through a contracting, swirling, psychedelic bathtub drain of a maze and hoping to not have it crash into the walls of that maze for... my goodness... can you survive for 1
Monday's review: You're a small triangle navigating a maze as its walls pivot and spin toward you in predictable patterns and with increasing speed. Avoid the walls for as long as you can and compete for the longest times. It's fun, but too small, simple and hard to provide lasting pleasure. 60%. Tuesday's review: I came back to it just for the music. It's 8-bit, but less concerned with high-pitched bleeps than dirty, throbbing beats. The music doesn't become repetitive either, despite dying and restarting dozens of times each minute, as it begins at a different place in the song after each
