Hextreme Void is an motion sport developed by Double Mizzlee and printed by Eastasiasoft. If you happen to take pleasure in bullet-hell video games, then this title shall be up your alley. Nonetheless, time spent with this sport shall be quick lived.
First, this title isn’t sophisticated within the slightest, nevertheless it doesn’t clarify something. There’s no tutorial on the right way to play, no rationalization of the aim, nor an inventory of what any of the power-ups or hexagons imply. I figured issues out as I performed, and there’s nonetheless one kind of hexagon that I’ve no clue what it does.
The premise of Hextreme Void is to clear the display from hexagons utilizing bouncing balls. The balls will bounce off the partitions and hexagons, finally hitting all of them and permitting you to maneuver onto the following degree. There are 250 ranges whole throughout 5 voids, every having fifty ranges.
Some hexagons are purple with a picture on it that I can’t fairly make out. I don’t know what these hexagons do. Do they offer extra cash? Do they offer further expertise factors? I by no means figured it out, particularly because the deeper you get into this sport, the quicker it goes.
Nearly all of the hexagons have numbers on them. For some time, I believed they had been expertise factors. I used to be already on void 5 once I realized the numbers had been mainly hit factors on the hexagon. One of many upgrades to your balls is “injury,” and one other is “crucial injury.” When mine was set to 12, I watched intently as a ball hit a hexagon with the sixteen on it. As soon as hit, the quantity modified to 4. So, I quickly realized that the hexagons had “well being,” if you’ll.
That stated, I’m undecided how the expertise factors system works in Hextreme Void, however you do earn expertise everytime you clear a hexagon. When you degree up, you’ll have the choice to decide on an improve at random. Upgrades embody growing the ball velocity, including a ball to the board, growing the max variety of balls you possibly can have, including ten seconds to the timer, including a cash multiplier, and extra. A few of these upgrades, such because the ball velocity, will get taken out of the rotation when you max out its everlasting improve.
When you full a void (or lose) you’ll be introduced again to the primary menu with the cash you earned out of your earlier playthrough. You should purchase everlasting upgrades to start out your subsequent playthrough stronger. For instance, as an alternative of beginning with one ball on the display, you should purchase as many balls as you need (that maxes out at 100) and begin your subsequent spherical with 100 balls already in play. Different upgrades embody growing the timer quantity to start out, your ball injury, the amount of cash you possibly can earn, and the others you possibly can enhance upon leveling up in a spherical.
Energy-ups are additionally out there. They’ll seem randomly on the board and, if one in all your balls hits it, the power-up shall be briefly activated. Hextreme Void has inexperienced balls, however some power-ups will multiply the balls you have got and people shall be blue. Your inexperienced ones can also flip purple that may destroy a hexagon and its adjoining tiles. Or they’ll flip purple and undergo the hexagons moderately than bouncing off of them. These are additionally everlasting upgrades within the menu to extend the lasting impact of those power-ups.
Other than selecting an improve in between level-ups, there isn’t a lot to do in Hextreme Void. It was enjoyable once I first began, particularly because it’s the kind of sport the place you’ll lose quite a bit to start with earlier than you regularly get stronger, thus getting farther in your subsequent playthrough. It took me three tries to get by the primary void (the primary fifty ranges), however I cleared each void after that in a single go.
One improve permits you to earn extra money quicker, so I had a ton of cash to spend in between rounds. I maxed out each single improve in underneath an hour of enjoying this sport. Even with ten minutes on the timer, I used to be getting by void 5, the toughest one, in just a little over one minute. Watching the mass of balls clear the board is satisfying with enjoyable colours and upbeat music, however I mindlessly selected the primary improve in between leveling up as a result of my upgrades had been already so overpowered; it didn’t matter what I selected.
Hextreme Void has no leaderboards or excessive rating record. When you full a void, you’ll see an inventory of stats—such because the injury you dealt and such—however there’s nothing to do with that info. When you’ve accomplished all of the voids and upgraded every little thing to the max, there’s no replayability. I had enjoyable with this sport to start with, nevertheless it rapidly received too straightforward and now there’s nothing left for me to do. When you’ve got a younger child or sibling, this may be a enjoyable, easy title to attempt with them, particularly for the asking value of $4.99.
