Super Hexagon is an action video game created by independent developer Terry Cavanagh with music composed by Chipzel.
Additional, "Hyper"[8] versions of the previous stages can be unlocked by surviving for over sixty seconds on a level, with their difficulties increasing to "hardester", "hardestest", and "hardestestest" in that order.
[9] Super Hexagon started off as a prototype titled Hexagon, made and released in one day for the late February 2012 game jam Pirate Kart V.[10] Designer Terry Cavanagh saw potential in the project and decided to increase the game's difficulty and expand upon its concept.
[8] During development, Cavanagh made various changes based on "what felt good", before starting the beta testing process.
Chipzel agreed, and created a three-track chiptune soundtrack that was subsequently released as Super Hexagon EP.
[11] Fittingly enough, the music that plays in the ending (lasting 60 seconds on Hyper Hexagonest) is a reversed and higher pitched version of Focus.
