Here is a hexagonal game board prototype I'm working on.  I've uploaded a test version so you can try the control scheme and give feedback.  It uses hexes, so there are 6 directions :)

Joystick controls:
up                    = North
down             = South
up left           = North-west
down left    = south-west
up right        = north-east
down right = south-east

fire = jump 2 hexes instead of one in that direction.

Kind of Qbert clone but it more reminds me a game for the Atari 800 computers named Xagon. Very nice, indeed

Thanks! Qbert did inspire me with hexed.

Hi, are you saying the controls are difficult to use? It IS challenging to use 6-way directional controls in the first place IMO :)

Hi, very enjoyable game, possible download?

sorry, not yet...I had crashing issues and haven't gotten back to this project yet...will someday :)

Any news here?

Once I figure out why my latest version of hexed is crashing, I'm going to upload the final version here :)

That's good news indeed. Good luck!

Love it! Keep up the fab work and make sure you tag #FREEZE64 when you post about it so that I can spread the word :-D

Thanks mate! I will try to remember to tag you 😁

If fire button allows jumping 2 hexes it should be possible to jump straight left or right with button pressed down.  Looks interesting already :)

Took me a few seconds to get my isometric bearings and then no problem controlling with cursor keys.  Really cool concept! :)

Nice concept. I think this game probably would work out pretty well if finished.

Pretty smooth. Would probably be easier with a real stick. I kept making bad jumps if my dual key strokes weren't perfect.

Yes it is a bit easier with an actual joystick :)
