The game is meant to be a fast-paced reaction game with energetic music and a simplistic design, highly similar to Super Hexagon. And on a presentational front, it succeeds. Unlike Super Hexagon, however, the gameplay is conceptually flawed. (In other words, it sucks.) Where Super Hexagon almost continually presents a fair challenge, Tetradecagon presents the player with an illusion of skill-based play without any form of a fair challenge. The game concept seems fine at first: rotate the outer ribs of different polygonic shapes to keep a ball inside from bouncing out in an interesting combination of pong and juggling. However, the concept ends up falling flat for a few reasons. A relatively minor problem is that the polygon spins really fast because that's the only way the game can get even remotely close to allowing you to catch the ball, which also moves extremely fast. This speed makes angling shots off of the rib pretty much impossible. That becomes a problem when the only way yo...

About the Game
Tetradecagon is the ultimate game of pong. Bounce a ball off of the highlighted sides of a user-controlled polygon for as long as humanly possible. As time progresses, the ball will quicken in speed and the polygon will grow in number of sides. It seems extremely simple at first, but it quickly turns into a brutally difficult game. Tetradecagon will easily provide hours of intense, rage-inducing fun and will quench anybody's thirst for extremely challenging and exciting amusement.For those with photosensitive epilepsy, an epileptic friendly option has been added. Those who are not satisfied with this option are entitled to a refund.

This game wants so badly to be Super Hexagon, but it just lacks solid design principles. The mechanics are too random and imprecise to be fun, rewarding, or fair, and the only way to progress is when you get a lucky streak. Mildly interesting but ultimately cannot recommend.
This game holds my attention better than a lot of AAA games. Controls are simple. You can play with either keyboard or controller. 'A' to rotate left, 'D' to rotate right. Gameplay offers a good amount of challenge, but I do have a small quip about when the paddle spawns on the opposite side of where the ball is moving. The time to react is pretty small until you get better. If you saw the trailer, the gameplay is a lot like Super Hexagon but in a different format. You won't be able to use the exact same skillset, but it's a lot less disorienting than Super Hex. The soundtrack is awesome. It doesn't actually get boring no matter how long you play the game for some reason. If anything, get the game with the soundtrack.
This game is fairly simple It's fun and addicting and pretty difficult If you liked Super Hexagon, this is your kind of game, but it is definitely not the same kind of game :P I would recommend this game as long as people don't try to beat my highscore xD
Fun game, but the difficulty was all over the place. There seems to be some correlation with the parity of the edge count, levels with an even number of sides being significantly easier in my experience. While in some ways this gave a nice break between the more challenging level, it made the final level rather anticlimactic compared to the previous one which was tenfold more difficult. This game's worth a play but could be balanced better.
Hardest game in my library. Fun and addicting though.
eh
A very nice reincarnation of Super Hexagon. If you liked SH, then Get it, get it now!
