Begin.
OK. You came for tip you get tips. Firstly, DON'T BLINK. (or rather, don't close your eyes.)

Don't be afraid to hit the obstacles after they touch the inner hexagon.

If you have one, use an Xbox 360 controller.

Turn VSync off. It helps.

Try to ignore the clock, or better still, move your level up sounds somewhere else.

Only perfect practise makes perfect. Make sure you are comfortable in playing before starting.
(Does that make sense?)


Guide Over.
Practise on hardest(est) mode for 20 minutes, then go on hard(er) mode, you'll find it goes really slowly.

Go into /Steam/SteamApps/common/Super Hexagon/data/sounds and move begin.ogg and gameover.ogg to get rid of the "begin" and "game over" sounds. (Only checked on Linux, Windows and OS X unknown, should be silimlar)

Get to know the patterns.

This calls off the tips, you should be a little better now.

Oh, and playing with headphones doesn't annoy the life outta your peers.

well, 10 minutes playing today and I took levels 4 and 5 from 30 and 20 seconds each to about 75 on both, what the F**K! The fact that I might actually beat this game now is messed up. idk if this guide just gave me the confidence boost I needed, but I'll take it anyways :D

thank you for making it! :D

i think it slightly reduces input delay? in a game like SH, that is going to make a... somewhat significant difference. I'll be honest - im surprised people are still reading this guide, and even more surprised people are finding it useful! it's 8 years old now hahaha
i am glad it was useful, though

wait a minute, why did turning Vsync off help? for years I was stuck in level 3 (best was 40s), turned it off and less than 10 attempts later bam! complete! how did that happen lmao

I wish I would have thought of moving those sound files when I got & beat this game in 2013. They're forever burned into my soul after hours of dying and restarting until I finally beat it
