Commodore 64 enthusiasts and programmers staged their second RGCD Cartridge Development Competition over the weekend, and among the dozen games that beat Saturdayâs submission deadline is thisâMicro Hexagon, a port of last yearâs mindbending Super Hexagon (and one of our GOTY nominees.)
Micro Hexagonâs authors are Paul Koller and Mikkel Hastrup, adapting Terry Cavanaghâs PC and mobile sensation for the venerable warhorse of 1980s personal computing. It looks âeasierâ to me without the perspective changes, but then, every time I feel like Super Hexagon has gotten âeasyâ I crash a dozen runs at 11 seconds or faster. Itâs remarkable how much the game still looksâand soundsâthe same, however.
The video shows the game played on a CRT monitor; obviously you can load it into an emulator and enjoy it that way, too. See the link at bottom for a .zip containing Micro Hexagon and the other games coming from the competition.
