Super Hexagon / Super Hexagon is harder on an ipad
September 13, 2012, 07:25:20 PM
Super Hexagon is awesome, addictive and torturous.

I've noticed that I find it twice as hard on a "new" ipad than on the iphone 4.  I'm not sure if it runs faster but I think it might be that the phone's wider screen aspect ratio allows you to see more of the oncoming pathways.

VVVVVV / Standalone Super Gravitron mini game?
September 13, 2012, 10:00:26 AM
Hi Terry and fellow Terry fans.

I've often thought it would be good if the super gravitron was available as a free vvvvvv sample.  I know it would be a bit of a spoiler for the full game but it would be fantastic to be able to say to people "check out this hardcore skill game - can you beat my score?".

Well I thought that, but now I think it would make an even better 69p mobile game like super hexagon.  It's well suited to touch screen as you only need left and right buttons for the megatron (just like hexagon's controls) and it would make an ideal game for a few minutes toilet fun.

Either way, I think it might just bring some new players to vvvvvv once they've tried the gravitron and heard the incredible accompanying music.  :viridian:

VVVVVV / VVVVVV arcade
March 14, 2011, 03:31:44 AM
I'd been meaning to try this for a while and had a sudden urge to set it up tonight.

Okay, I know it's more of a C64 game than arcade, but the graphics look really nice on a 15khz arcade CRT running at 320x240 ...and I'm hoping the joystick might give me a better edge on Super Gravitron as I've only managed 15 seconds so far on keys.

Oops, I've just thought, I should have got a close up shot to show the nice scanlines...

Hi,

My Son and I loved playing through VVVVVV.  He has his own computer - an imac G4 1.25ghz.  Is the Mac version of VVVVVV a universal binary and would it run on a PowerPC system?

Second Question:  I noticed that on a Windows PC, the VVVVVV exe can launch independently of Steam.  But on the Mac, it won't.  When I try launching vvvvvv.app, it complains and fails to run independently.  Is there any way I can extract the game from my Steam Library to put on another Mac?

Thanks for reading.  :viridian:
