I love this game but it's so hard! The controls were really difficult for me, the game forces you to make quick moves but the button layout seemed confusing to me and I kept dying because I pressed the wrong button.

Yeah I havn't found a good solution for hex movement on keyboard; numpad is probably the most natural.

gamepad works alright.  But I didn't have time to adjust the mouse controls, they work even wierder in this version.  If I get time I'll fix the mouse controls.  Try gamepad if you get a chance.

Oh yeah, a gamepad would be much better.

Liked the idea a lot. Controls just took a little to understand, but once I got the hang of them they were fine. The design was basic but clean.

I wish the sporadic enemy gave a few hints as to what it was about to do... Like a warning before it goes into fast speed. Seemed that in order to win I had to do a lot of short safe plays, if the enemy gave different types of warnings you could use those to be a bit more daring.

If you havn't you should give the original Qix a play. It has a few more mechanics and its enemy, the Qix, is way cooler (and the audio is kinda crazy).

 But in this remake and the original a good strategy is to build traps; Construct a tight narrow area close to an edge, and then bait the enemy into it. Once it in there, do a quick short path to seal the entrance to the trap and fill in 90% of the board really quickly.

Its a cool classic game.

Finally a solid entry. You've learnt your lesson and you made a good game. Music and sound effects can make the game better. Find one in the internet, especially OpenGameArt, if you don't have time to make one.

Gameplay looks solid. Controls are a bit unfamiliar. When we usually play this game, we usually make it on a simple square or rectangle, not hexagonal. However, you make this and you did a great job. A little bit more polishing could make this entry better.
