Fantastic game that necessitates the practice of critical thinking beyond the ordinary constraints of linear approaches. One has to be able to think sequentially, but on multiple layers simultaneously. All in all, a pleasant and enjoyable experience. My only gripe is that some of the legs of the journey required contact with information outside of the game, but that is nothing more than a matter of research tedium.
Interestingly enough, if you simply stand there and do absolutely nothing with the controls (with which to manipulate your virtual soccer-players), the AI is sufficiently quirky in terms of its mechanics of movement that the AI will eventually score on itself, thus giving you a point. Capitalizing on this strategy, I was able to win WITHOUT hands!
What I like to refer to or describe as a minimally complex masterpiece. However, it is somewhat indistinct how you can't tell if you have infinite lives (my pet hypothesis) or you have infinite health and never die, even if you only have one life without replacement.
A brief, but potentially challenging game with a few pleasant surprises and exotic turns to ensure self-uniqueness. You will circumvent the element of frustration, but never encounter the antithesis of all programs that is tedium, as you exercise your intellectual faculties to solve the interesting puzzles embedded in this test of wits and patience.
The ending of the hypercomic is distinctly reminiscent of Inception, as to the ambiguity of the plot resolution. Has Icarus truly woken from his dream or is he muddled in the intricacies of a profoundly deep simulacrum, constructed by the mind? Overall, this was a wonderful experience and I strongly encourage you to create more games along these lines, having set a high precedent with this one.
For the most part, this game was impeccably designed and executed. My only gripe with mechanics is that, when you advance through the alternate plot structures, it's a little frustrating finding your way to a particular story line or progressing from an earlier point in aforementioned or said plotline.
for the size 6 puzzles, i can generally reduce the complexity of the non-ascribed pieces to about 2 or 3 with around around half a minute or more to spare, but then i have to rearrange all the tiles in order to include everything and my formation is all screwed up. i have done several arrays where i am very close to completing a puzzle (a few pieces remaining to squeeze in), but have to restart because of a few mistakes early on. the impossible badge is quite frustrating indeed. one more try ... (repeat)
@Kamiluter - actually, the faster you become (as the ratio between the actual speed of light - the absolute speed limit of the universe - and your speed approaches unity), the slower time becomes. in other words, contrary to what you said (and apparently popular belief, judging by the # of upvotes), the flow of time is inversely proportional to your speed and vice versa
is it simply me or are badges not being awarded? i died at floor 35 (survival mode; i heeded the advice), but i didn't receive the medium badge. it would seem that the pixel quest is impossible to complete. of all the prerequisites, this one is unobtainable.
after the 2012 event is consummated and subsumed in the history texts, this impossible badge will be one of the most envied prizes in the whole of Kongregate.
i played Hexiom Connect and the original Hexiom across a combined experience (switching from one to the other) and it seems to help. when you're stuck in one of them, just alternate to the other and periodically vacillate between the two until you've beaten both games. as such, i got both badges right after one another. of course, the games are quite distinct, but they offer the same genre of execution - a common denominator for functional equivalence in some degree. as they say, it is possible to hit two birds with one stone.
one of the most challenging puzzle games I’ve ever played (much more difficult than Linx: Hard Set, which was fairly easy by comparison). difficult, but very rewarding.
simple and elegant at first, but the game soon devolves into a series of repetition and exercise of tedium after the initial stages. the puzzles are not very difficult, but they become a chore to do after the easy badge. all in all considered, i treat this game as "satisfactory"; 3/5 stars for me
but if the grey glob actually managed to save earth by devouring the incoming asteroids portending the extinction of the dinosaurs, then humans couldn't have evolved due to over-competition. the mammals wouldn't rise to power and the dinosaurs would still be tyrannizing the other fauna. thus, the glob couldn't have existed because its existence depends on the existence of humans - resulting in a time-space paradox. 0_0
Important: if the achievements aren't being registered, simply save your game and you will reap what you have sown. If you don't save, you won't receive your achievement!
The riders aren't actually moving relative to the Earth! The underlying railings of the roller coaster are coasting by the riders on the roller coaster! Instead of asking, when will we reach the end, one should implore: when will the end reach us? As Albert Einstein is known for have said, everything is relative...ly absolute.
This is one of those games of which you begin with the impression of mastering within a few minutes, but later realize that you lack the capability to even make a dent in progress after wringing home a few tries.
