[h1] Hyperdot: If I don’t reach that tree before that car, I will die [/h1] [i] Hyperdot is a minimalistic dodge-everything game. A simple concept that can easily be ruined by design choices. The best types of games are the ones that are simple in operating and that is fair to you, and Hyperdot is unique in that it succeeds on all those points [/i] [b] Pros: [/b] ✅ Lots of features and variation ✅ It looks beautiful ✅ The game is incredibly fair: if you lose it’s almost always your fault [b] Cons: [/b] ❌If you’re impatient the learning curve will hamper you from enjoying it ❌Quite expensive Hyperdot is a simple but very intriguing game, it contrasts many similar games by being properly built up and having effort put into it. In this way, it’s not just a glorified mobile game but a full-fledged, feature-packed dodging experience. There are loads of different things you can try, create custom levels or play local multiplayer; perhaps play the extensive single-player campaign. [u] If only I wasn’t so awful at this, I wouldn’t die so much [/u] A common problem for lots of games is that often ‘the game screws you over’ this can happen when hitboxes are too large or the expectation for the player is too large or the difficulty scales logarithmically meaning it increases in an insane amount while the start is a piece of cake. The opposite is the truth with Hyperdot, I cannot explain to you how exactly but each time I lose it felt as all of it was completely my fault and the only reason that I did was my incompetence. The experience of being in full control is incredibly unique for almost any game nowadays. [u] I mean I know it’s like 3 colors, but this looks really good [/u] For such a simplistic game Hyperdot is stunning, the simplistic color scheme that’s properly composed with certain effects like lighting and simple shapes creates great visuals. When looking at other minimalistic games like “Super Hexagon” Hyperdot conveys an atmosphere of calm and relaxed that keeps your temper low and doesn’t push you to become a super-fast video game master. [u] A simplistic game that isn’t a one-trick pony?! [/u] Not only can you dodge stuff, but there’s also a large variety of features for you to keep yourself busy with, it has a level editor with loads of different parameters to keep making it harder and harder to become even more of a professional. It also features local multiplayer to fail with your family and friends. This all as a bonus to the extensive single-player campaign which touches on every single type of enemy and environment you could dodge in keeping you busy without having to invest any more effort. [u] Those are some average tunes bro, rad [/u] Of course, Hyperdot has a mandatory soundtrack although it’s not much, it’s there to fill the void and does so quite okay it’s still repetitive and after a few hours gets bland to listen to. Although its theme fits the style, which is very laid back and chill; it’s not very engaging so I’d rate it as very average. [u] Worth the money? [/u] One of the only strong negatives of Hyperdot is its steep price point of 18,2$ it’s not an easy sell for the biggest part of the audience, although if you’re looking for a game that you’re using to fill time but also enjoy some family time with it’s definitely worth the money. However, if you’re just planning to play it occasionally the cost will most likely not be worth it. [u] Technicalities [/u] Hyperdot is very simple and works incredibly smoothly with 0 bugs or issues in my experience. My Computer or practically any other device should be able to run it without any issues at all. [u] Summary [/u] Hyperdot is a simplistic and gorgeous stylized top-down dodging experience that will provide you with loads of fun for hours on end with many different ways to keep yourself entertained. However, it’s very steep price point kneecaps it for a large part of the audience and significantly decreases it’s worth quite a bit as the number of hours you will get out of it on average will not compensate for the price. [b] Score: 81/100 [/b] This game was provided for free by the developers.

Don't get me wrong, the game wasn't that bad. It got a few flaws, some of the levels were badly designed but for the most of time it was kinda fun to play. However, for the full price of over 15€ you'd probably expect to get something more than just like 2-3h of gameplay. Not worth grabbing for a full price.
Just. So. Good. I'm a fanatic for Just Shapes & Beats and Soundodger. This game fits in a similar "dodge everything" space, but it fills an entirely different niche. See, the challenges here are FAST. Each is about 15-30 seconds long. You'll play one, die a whole lot, but then you'll get it, and it's on to the next. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I might like this BETTER than Just Shapes & Beats, and that's really saying something for a smaller indie title. However, this game's pacing is just fantastic. It's all action, and has some wicked puzzle levels thrown in on top. Great game; well worth your time!
Hyper|Dot is an AMAZING game. I liked it a lot when we first saw my son playing it at the exhibit in Hyde Park and looked for it every since. I have it now and I love playing it myself. Takes me back to just having a great mind challenge and stress relief play. The music is what gives it the edge for me. My son loves it just as much and he is the game player.
just about the best game ive ever played
A fun game with satisfying visuals, but I'd only recommend getting it while it's on sale. Make sure to play with a controller, since some mechanics don't work as intended with mouse controls. In particular, ice has no effect when you're using mouse controls (in addition to causing a jarring visual bug), making ice levels inadvertently easier.
I'm having a great time with HyperDot. It's a simple idea, but incredibly well executed. The star of the show is the game's local multiplayer, especially setting the variables to random and just rapid-firing through different conditions. HyperDot is the best game made in Minnesota since ExciteBots. If you're a fan of Geometry Wars or arcade games like Robotron 2084, definitely check it out.
Fantastic little arcade game that works really hard to let you play your way. Supports keyboard/mouse as well as all manner of controllers (eye tracking, anyone?). Over 100 crafted campaign levels allow for a huge variety in combinations of enemy formations and arena setups, and the free play mode lets you easily set up a custom game to your tastes. There's even a level editor to let you create your own enemy spawn patterns. Fair warning, it's possible to get through the campaign and all achievements in only a few hours, so if you're a very objective-driven player who won't stick around once you've checked all the boxes, you may feel shortchanged on content for the price. But if you're the type to chase high scores or just looking for a quality game to kill time in small chunks, you can't go wrong here.
I love this game! :D Hyperdot is a polished minimalist take on the dodge em' up genre. What I love about it is that it doesn't force you to feel revved up. Any adrenaline surge you get from the game is purely from the (very real) challenge of the gameplay and not from headache-inducing dubstep like some other games of its genre. Hyperdot features a soundtrack that, like the visual design, is decidedly both crisp and smooth, and somehow allows the game to feel both relaxing and high-stakes. The visual aesthetics change with each level, keeping the game feeling fresh as you progress. Most importantly, the gameplay never feels repetitive. Each level finds new and creative ways to keep you on your toes using different enemies, power-ups, and modifiers. I find myself thinking I'll just play one more level, and half an hour later I realize I'm still playing. Despite how enjoyable the game is, Hyperdot does not waste your time. Because each level is a short (but difficult) challenge, it's a game that's easy to step in and out of, whether you're playing for 5 min or for 2 hours in a sitting. Other things to note: - it's even more fun to play multiplayer - it's super customizable and supports pretty much any controller (even eye tracking!) - the level editor is surprisingly deep and gives you the capability to make levels of the same caliber as those in the campaign
[h1]Hodnocení 9/10 , Splněné Achievementy 25 z 26, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34526713/]Curator[/url] [/h1] https://youtu.be/MDL1cYb4_oQ Zpočátku jsem byl trochu skeptický, nikdy jsem tento typ her neměl příliš v oblibě. O to víc jsem byl překvapen, jak rychle mě hra pohltila. Každá z více než 100 úrovní nabízí jedinečnou výzvu, od hektických po pomalejší úrovně. Hráč má za úkol ovládat bod/tečku s pomocí myši, klávesnice či ovladače a vyhýbat se pěti typům geometrických “nepřátel” s jednoduchou umělou inteligencí, která v kombinaci s jejich rychlostí, vaší rychlostí, velikosti tečky/bodu, velikostí hracího pole a mnoho dalších proměnných, vytváří obtížné, nerepetitivní úrovně. Ještě větší rozmanitost se děje díky Modifikátoru, který mění vlastnosti arény. Některé modifikátory mohou zvětšit nebo zmenšit velikost arény, přidat vylepšení, která vám mohou pomoci při kontaktu nebo zvětšit velikost výchozí tečky. Některé úrovně mohou být trochu frustrující kvůli náhodnosti a špetce štěstí. Vizuálně se hra drží stejných motivů. V aréně, ve které se hraní her odehrává, se nevyskytují rušivé prvky, takže se můžete soustředit na svoji tečku, i když se nepřátelé někdy rozplývají tak, že vytvářejí vizuálně zajímavé obrazce s vysokou rozmanitostí barev a tvarů. Hra také přichází s plně vybaveným režimem pro více hráčů, kde můžete soutěžit až se třemi přáteli, abyste zjistili, kdo z vás je schopen přežít déle. Přítomna je i funkce Remote play. Vzhledem k jednoduchému hraní, rychlým úrovním a velkou zábavností může HyperDot být dobrou hrou s přáteli. HyperDot má také tvůrce úrovní, je zde k dispozici mnoho funkcí, které vám poskytují přístup ke stejným nástrojům, které byly použity při vytváření úrovní kampaně. Hudba ve hře je na jedničku. Skladby jsou natolik rozmanité, že se z nich nebudete nudit, nebudou vás rušit a fungují jako příjemný podkres. Většina z nich jsou relax skladby, což bylo jistě záměrem vývojářů s cílem zabránit návalům vzteku, kterým se stejně neubráníte, když opakujete některé z úrovní stále dokola bez výsledku. Doporučuji každému, kdo má rád výzvy.
