"I think developing for Android is basically a lot like developing for PC," he notes. "It's not really fair to make a direct comparison, because nobody had heard of the game when it launched on iOS - but so far, the Android launch has been bigger than the iOS launch, which I would never have expected."Īnyone who follows Cavanagh on Twitter will know that he's had numerous problems with getting Super Hexagon to play nicely on every Android device, with the Google Nexus 7 tablet in particular causing such deep problems that he was eventually forced to say that the device would be incompatible with the game. "I'd heard from other developers that Android is a much smaller market than iOS, so yeah, its success has been quite a surprise!" he tells us. And to his surprise, it was most definitely worth the effort - the game has now sold more than 25,000 copies on Android in just the first four days on sale, easily besting the initial days of the iOS version. Since then he's been slowly but surely, piecing together an Android version, with hardware fragmentation issues holding it back consistently.īut Cavanagh battled through all of this, and finally released the game via the Google Play store earlier this week. Terry Cavanagh launched Super Hexagon on iOS several months ago, and sold more than 10,000 copies in its first three days on sale on Apple's App Store. That's what some developers believe, and Android is regularly snubbed in favor of an iOS-only release, even at a time when the number of Android devices out there is surging rapidly.
