Hey!

If you have any spare time, feel free to check out my Super Hexagon stream! I'm currently trying to get a new record in Hyper Hexagonest. The stream is going to be up periodically, but not on a fixed schedule.

Currently, sound is switched off, since I'm on Skype with someone. But usually, I have sound turned on (and talk while playing). ^^

Don't forget the part where Hexagonest's background colors correspond to the VVVVVV crew member colors.

IT. IS. ON. 

Just you wait until the PC version is released. My right thumb is currently, well, unusable. 

Oh, why you little...!

Who knows, maybe you'll be able to replace your Hyper Hexagonest score with a real one soon. 

[F*CK YES.]

F*CK YES.

EDIT: New Scoreboard, as of 11/14/12 4:29am (GMT+1):

Hexagon - 205:03 (#141 - yikes, gotta improve!)
Hexagoner - 223:38 (#16)
Hexagonest - 132:43 (#20)
Hyper Hexagon - 223:10 (#37)
Hyper Hexagoner - 185:22 (#18)
Hyper Hexagonest - 126:57 (#14)

I feel like this game, being very competitive in its nature, needs to have something like the No Death Mode VVVVVV had.
So here what I've been thinking: The Hexagon Challenge.
Basically, it's a complete run of all six gamemodes with more and more increasing difficulty. You start out at Hexagon, let's call it the Point stage, and your goal is to survive 60 seconds. Then, the game congratulates you and sends you to the Line stage, Hexagoner, where you have to survive for 120 seconds. Note that it'll be Hexagoner for the full 120 seconds, so the change to Hyper Hexagoner after 60 does not occur.
Next on the docket is the Triangle stage, Hexagonest, with a required survival time of 180 seconds. And so on.
The ultimate challenge, of course, would be the Hexagon stage, as it would require the player to survive for 360 seconds, six minutes, on Hyper Hexagonest. And whoever beats that stage gets direct access to The Final Hexagon (come on! ).

EDIT: Oh, and every time you die, you have to start over from Point, of course. Just like No Death Mode. 

So, what do you think?

Your score's still there, assuming you are kandowontu.

Maybe - with a little snooping - it'd be possible to, say, make clicking play on Hexagon lead to Hyper Hyper Hexagon? That'd be sweet. 

Hi!
This is a map of paths to the dreaded Final Hexagon.

(click to enlarge)

Each full line stands for 60 seconds of survival. Rule of thumb: the harder it gets, the faster you get there - to lose. The Final Hexagon does not know any survival; once you're there, the only way out is Death itself. 

Finally! A new record. That took a while.   

I asked Terry on Twitter, and he replied with a link. 
He said it's just Focus (the Hexagonest tune), slowed down by a factor of 20. Still sounds awesome. 

Sigh, I've stopped counting how often I died between 59.00 and 59.59 already. 
But, yeah, occasionally, I do get there and then either do a fairly good run until
I take a wrong turn somewhere, making it a no-win situation, helplessly watching as the walls move in to crush my little arrow. Usually happens a second or two away from my current record.

Or I'm crushed as soon as walls start appearing

The ambient background music in the bonus mode is great, by the way! Any way to listen to it outside of the game?
