TouchArcade: The challenging arcade game genre spawned by Super Hexagon [$2.99] has certainly seen plenty of games that follow its principles, and the Flappy Bird craze has to owe something to that as well. But not a lot of games in that vein really use tilt controls, perhaps because they're very hard to get right, especially in a fast-paced, unforgiving game. Well, the upcoming Tiltagon is going to try and do just that: be a tilt-based take on the Super Hexagon formula. Players will have to tilt a ball across a series of platforms that steadily disappear, collecting dots on the platforms to score a point and make the next one appear. The platforms get steadily more perilous, with things like obstacles spinning around them, platforms with large holes in the middle, and platforms that have falling-away pieces to deal with. It's not that easy.
CR plays the PC port of Tiltagon and finds that it is a simple looking arcade game that can be hard to master and whose transition from mobile to PC has increased the difficulty even more.
Josh Nichols from BagoGames writes: It really isn’t every day that a game just blows you away because of how well made it is. What I mean to say is that within the first thirty seconds of playing this game, I was in awe of it. I’m referring to its presentation alone at this point; many AAA games with much bigger budgets aren’t even this polished. It is very clear that a lot of time and thought went into this game. Spoilers, I love this game.
Tiltagon, a brand new game by Noodlecake Studios, is available for both Android and iOS devices, and it comes with some simple gameplay that can turn really difficult if you get down to actually playing it. The game is named as such because you tilt and fall, and because you’ll have to stay alive by tiliting your phone and your tablet. There are only two difficulty modes here, as you play in both portrait and landscape modes; those difficulty modes, if you’re wondering, are “Hard” and “Hard+.” Sounds intimidating already? Never fear, because the following Tiltagon cheats, tips and hints can help you stay alive, even at Hard+ difficulty.
