'''Hexagon Force''' is the sixteenth level in ''[[Geometry Dash]]''. It is the sixth (and last) level to be rated insane as of [[Update 1.9]]. It is commonly recognized as one of the hardest non-demon official levels in normal mode, though it is generally considered easier than [[Electrodynamix]].

'''Hexagon Force''' is the sixteenth level of [[Geometry Dash]] and [[Geometry Dash Lite]] and the sixth level with an Insane difficulty.
==Introduction==
 
On June 30, 2014, [[Robert Topala]] posted a sneak peek image on Twitter, reading ''Can You Guess the Next Song?'' The image also displayed pictures of a water drop, flame, and a hexagon. Topala referred to the popular video game music composer on YouTube, Waterflame, who had published the tune, Hexagon Force, on March 1, 2014.


==Description==
==Description==
Hexagon Force introduces sloped blocks, expanding the ways the icon can move and interact with the level, such as steeper angles increasing vertical momentum. The level also introduces the dual portal, featuring more advanced gameplay that requires heightened focus to be able to manoeuvre two icons on inverted planes. The cube, ship and ball each have segments under the effects of the dual portal. The dual segments for the ship are symmetrical, generally allowing one icon to be focused on while the other remains within safety. The dual segments for the cube and ball are asymmetrical, so both icons need to be monitored. They additionally involve jump rings. Sometimes one icon may need to perform a movement while the other is airborne. Arrow pulsators are sometimes present to indicate when to jump. Two additional variants of the speed portal are also introduced: the normal speed portal, which essentially resets the movement speed to normal; and the slow speed portal, which is a noticeable contrast and requires an altered perception to handle safely.


Hexagon Force begins with a brief cube scene, followed by a speed and ship [[portals]]. Subsequently, the ship changes into a [[Forms|gravity ball]], and the player makes first contact with the new blocks which have diagonal surfaces. Later on, after another brief cube part, Hexagon Force introduces the brand new dual portals, which "clones" the icon with reversed colors and different gravities. With the copy portal in action, the player is then forced to maneuver using the rocket. Throughout the level, multiple copy portals are included, and the icon transforms into every object in the game except for the wave, which was not even introduced yet. Hexagon Force is also the first official level to introduce the slow and normal speed portals, which are shown along some rocket scenes. Hexagon Force also features every portal on 1.8 except Mirror Portals and the pink 3x speed portal.
===Sequences===
 
*A cube sequence takes place from 0% to 12%, while under the effects of the fast speed portal from 11%,
==Rewards==
*A ship sequence from 12% to 19%, with the effects of the fast speed portal sustained,
Completing the level in practice mode will unlock the dark grey primary color and the achievement ''Hexagonest''. If the player is capable of winning on normal mode, they would earn the achievement ''Hexagon Force!'' sucessfully finishing the level would take under 1 minutes and 40 seconds.
*A ball sequence from 19% to 26%, with the effects of the fast speed portal sustained,
*A cube sequence from 26% to 41%, with the effects of the fast speed portal sustained, and while under the effects of a dual portal from 33%,
*A ship sequence from 41% to 48%, with the effects of the fast speed portal sustained, and the effects of the dual portal ceasing at 48%,
*A cube sequence from 48% to 55%, with the effects of the fast speed ceasing at 55%,
*A UFO sequence from 55% to 61%, while under the effects of the size portal from 55%,
*A ball sequence from 61% to 65%, with the effects of the size portal sustained, and while under the effects of the fast speed portal from 61%, and under the effects of the dual portal from 61%,
*A ship sequence from 65% to 76%, with the effects of the size portal ceasing at 68%, and the effects of the fast speed portal sustained, and the effects of the dual portal ceasing at 68%,
*A cube sequence from 76% to 90%, with the effects of the fast speed portal ceasing at 90%,
*A ship sequence from 90% to 100%, while under the effects of the slow speed portal from 90%, and under the effects of the dual portal from 90%, ceasing at 95%.


==Secret Coin Locations==
==Secret coins==
*The first [[Secret Coins|secret coin]] is located at the first ball sequence. After you flip and land into flat forms, upon encountering a short ramp, flip gravity to get the secret coin and touching a yellow jump pad. Alternatively, you can get the coin by tapping to go up onto the platform and immediately go down. However, you need to be close enough to get the coin.
*The first secret coin is located at 22% and collected as the ball. After approaching a slope, instantly flip gravity to get the secret coin and hit a yellow jump pad.
*The second secret coin is located at the second double speed ship sequence. After avoiding spikes and saws, and upon encountering a slope with an opening, immediately go through there to get it.
*The second secret coin is located at 72% and collected as the ship. After exiting a dual segment, an obstacle near the bottom must be flown through to collect it.
*The final secret coin is located at the final half-speed ship sequence. Upon finishing the level, you will encounter a large obstacle with an opening in it. Carefully fly through it to get the secret coin and in the same time, finishing the level.
*The third secret coin is located at 97% and collected as the ship. After the effects of the dual portal cease, fly over a large obstacle and descend into a gap within another to collect the coin, ensuring not to be snagged inside before exiting.


==Clearing the dual sections==
==Gameplay==
The introduction of the copy portal brings yet another challenge to increasingly difficult levels. It is almost always overwhelming when first encountered, but like all things, can be beaten once properly understood. What is especially important to know is that ''practice makes perfect, ''and coincidentally, there is a practice mode which provides the opportunity to make it perfect, all down to experience. Take advantage of practice mode to correctly learn the maneuvers. Another incredibly useful tip is to ''focus on only one icon''. Trying to track two things at once is already harder than what the level really is, therefore determining at which points movements occur in order to efficiently control both icons.
{{VC|N21Xcp5WFno}}
==='''Cube section'''===
The dual cube section is divided into two segments. Three successive jumps from the first lower spikes with a pause, followed by another three jumps clears the first segment. When launched into the second segment, begin with two synchronized jumps on jump rings. Next, direct attention to the lower cube, and jump when aligned with the indicator arrow and once more from the jump ring. Immediately direct attention to the upper cube and do the same, keeping accurate to the position of the second arrow. This can be particularly difficult to time correctly, so remember to practice to improve understanding. ''Four jumps from the first arrow.'' This completes the cube sequence.
==='''First ship section'''===
Never try to focus on both ships. They are normally symmetrically aligned and therefore focusing on one will safely navigate the other. From the dual cube section, quickly hold down to send each ship towards the sides of the map before they are directed to the center, and remain there to avoid the spiked walls. Prepare to dodge a central obstacle, then shift to the center for a moment before pressing apart again, where you can rest as the ships travel along a safe divider through the middle, emerging to complete the sequence.
==='''Ball section'''===
As well as being difficult to maneuver, the balls are also shrunken. The way the game's mechanics work means the speed remains constant in both enlarged and shrunken states, making the shrunken state appear considerably faster in comparison. Due to this, it serves to know exactly what happens to both balls since there is not enough time to interpret the position of obstacles as they arrive. From the UFO sequence, the balls must pass over a small gap by switching sides just a moment after changing form. What happens next is the lower ball is launched into the air, and in that time the upper ball must flip twice over an oncoming saw before the launched ball lands. There is an indicator arrow which marks the first flip point before having to return immediately once clear of the saw. In a similar manner, the lower ball must flip over a saw while the upper ball is sent airborne. Take care after as both balls are swiftly launched by jump pads onto several synchronised jump rings very quickly. It can also occur the balls being sent there themselves prematurely from switching gravity, even having both balls share a single jump ring if the timing is slightly out. The sequence can still be cleared safely, approaching another ship sequence while still shrunken.
==='''Second ship section'''===
This section is much shorter, and this time the ships are in the shrunken state from the ball section. As before, only focus on one ship and stay on the side on the map before dodging two spiked projections.
==='''Third ship section'''===
This is arguably the most difficult of the dual sections, particularly because the ships are shrunken ''and'' slowed down, hence forth making the ascent and descent faster when tapped, making it hard to control. Located near the end of the level from the cube section, navigate them towards the centre of the level, but be prepared to dodge a central obstacle, move towards the centre again, and dodge another central obstacle before going back to the central portal to complete the sequence.


==Trivia==

* The icon unlocked when completing the level in Normal mode was inspired by [http://minecraft.wikia.com/wiki/Creepers Creepers] from the popular video game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft Minecraft].
*The sneak peek of this level did not include the first secret coin, suggesting the secret coins had not yet been placed in the level at the time of the sneak peek.
* The achievement ''Hexagonest'' may be a reference to the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Hexagon Super Hexagon].
*Hexagon Force formally introduces the slow speed portal and normal speed portal, although they were previously selectable in the [[Level Editor|level editor]] in [[Update 1.7]].
*This is the first level to use the slow down portal. The second is [[Theory of Everything 2]].
*Hexagon Force is the only main level to have asymmetrical duals.
* This level introduces object rotation, dual mode, and slopes.
*Hexagon Force is the only main level to end under the effects of slow speed.
* This level Introduces the Hexagon Texture.
*Hexagon Force spends the most time at fast speed out of all main levels, spending a combined 73% of the level length at fast speed.
* Completing the level takes 1:31.
*A redundant fast speed portal exists at 76%; the player is already at fast speed when reaching that section. This makes Hexagon Force the only main level to have a duplicate speed portal.
* The level is one of the three levels not having a [[Secret Coins|secret coin]] in their cube segments. The other two are [[Cycles]] and [[Blast Processing]].
*Hexagon Force takes 92 seconds to complete and requires a minimum of 103 jumps.
* This is also the second latest 3rd coin in any level, appearing at about 97%. The latest is in [[Stereo Madness]], whose 3rd coin appears at about 98%.
*When collecting the first coin, the player can flip gravity again before the yellow pad to return to the normal path earlier than intended. The coin can still be collected this way.
 
*Hexagon Force is the first main level in which the player never touches the ground after the start of the level.
== Errors ==
* In the first ball segment, you can switch gravity to land on the platform with the secret coin, then switch gravity again rapidly to return to the normal path without collecting the coin.
* There was an error in the level located before the first dual section. It's on the platform after you jump off a ramp. The error is on the bottom right corner of the platform. However, this was fixed in [[Update 1.9|1.9]].
* There was a secret way in this level: During the last cube section, before going to the mini dual slow ship sequence, if a player jumps at the right time, they would fall through to the floor. However this was fixed.
* At the end of the first ship section (at 18%, right before the ball portal) if you look to the bottom right you can see that there is nothing below the ball part spikes.
* At the beginning of the level, the second yellow bounce pad underneath an arrow, is slightly over the edge of the block. It is not placed in the centre of the block where it is supposed to be. This could be for a few reasons. Either the level was rushed through, or they put it over the edge so the cube can successfully reach the next bounce ring.
* In the first dual segment, at the third jump, you may see that the blocks are overlapping. Either it was rushed, or just to make it short.
* After the double speed ship part there's a high unfilled structure, which can be seen if looking down enough.
* Before the dual slow mini ship sequence there's a yellow pad on a block that's misplaced. (It's a little bit on the left)
* At the end of the first ship section, it is possible to fly over (because of your anti gravity) the gravity portal, as there are no spikes covering.
