Tips & Tricks
- Shinki, the creator of SCGMD2, said in his webpage:
“For getting a Pro, you need to: hit every command, fill every hold and NOT HIT ANY KEYS AT THE WRONG TIME.” Sigh.
- Press Tab on the Guitar Selection screen to see all of them, even the locked ones.
- Disable voice (Click on ‘Toggle Voice’ under ‘Ready’ when you are going to start a song). It’s distracting.
- You may like to have a friend to press ASD keys while you press the arrow keys.
- Play the same song till you master it. Practice makes perfect.
- Are you going for Perfect and missed a note? DON'T RESTART. Continue playing the song as if nothing happened to practice the harder parts at the end.

Avoiding lag
- Close any other applications.
- Try going to Catalonia, Istanbul or La Razza chatrooms. They tend to be the less crowded ones, then mute the chat.
- Game shows more lag on FireFox than Internet Explorer 7. However, IE6 is apparently the less-lagging one.
- Always use the default guitar. The others make strange effects when you press the keys, which are distracting and cause lag.
- IMPORTANT. This technique could freeze your computer, make it ultra-slow, as well as speed up the game NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOUR COMPUTER IS. I'm not responsible of what could this do to your computer, nor Shinki, nor the Kongregate Staff. However, if anything wrong happens, restarting the computer will solve the problem. It requires all previous techniques for avoiding lag at the same time, or everything will screw up. Works with Windows only
Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete (That key could be called Suprime, too. It depends on the keyboard). It will open the Task Manager.
Click on Processes tab.
Right click your browser's process. If you are using Internet Explorer, it should be called IEXPLORE.EXE. If you are using Firefox, it should be firefox.exe.
Once right-clicked, click on Priority.
Click on High. The slowdown starts now. DON'T CLOSE THE TASK MANAGER.
Go to your browser and start playing the game normally. Everything should be slow, except the game :)
To revert the process, right click your process again and set priority to normal.

Challenge Description: Hexagons are truly the greatest shape in the world -- easily twice as awesome as stupid triangles.

Requirements: Complete any 20 levels – Note: You don't need to do levels 1-20; any 20 will do. You can skip ahead a bit on the main menu once you've made some progress.

Requirements: Complete a size 3 random puzzle in 1 minute or less in Hexiom

Hexiompossible Badge (impossible - 60 points)
Requirements: Complete a random puzzle of size 6 in 3 minutes or less in Hexiom


UPDATE. MOONKEY UPLOADED A NEW VERSION OF HEXIOM THAT DOESN'T ALLOW PAUSING, AND REPLAYING THE LEVEL DOESN'T RESET THE TIMER. THIS MAKES BOTH STRATEGIES 1 DON'T WORK. THE IMPOSSIBLE BADGE IS TRULY IMPOSSIBLE NOW, AND FEEL GOOD IF YOU DID IT WHEN THE STRATEGY WORKED. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.

Ok, a new card challenge is here. There are two possible strategies: Strategy 1 works for winning a pre-made level as well as for beating a random one, and Strategy 2 works only for beating a pre-made level in a faster way than Strategy 1.


Strategy 1
When Moonkey uploaded his game to Kongregate, he knew that his game could get cards or badges. That's why Hexiom's Kongregate version has no cheat system. However, that won’t prevent you of using it. Why?

If you want to beat pre-made levels
1. Go to Google.com and write Hexiom. Play it in any site you want, excepting Kongregate.
2. Go to any level and hold spacebar. Any tile in yellow it's in its correct place, and any tile blue is in its wrong place. Put all of them except one in the correct place.
3. Play Hexiom in Kongregate, and put the tiles in the same place you put them in the other game. Put the tile that was in the wrong place in the correct place.
4. Repeat with all 40 levels. :O

If you want to beat random levels (Strategy A) (Thanks Renny) (DUE TO GAME UPDATE AND NO PAUSING, THIS WON'T WORK)
1. On the level selection screen, click on the tile with a interrogation sign, ‘Generate Random Level’.
2. Choose its size.
3. Now, very fast, click on 'Save level' at top right. Copy the code as fast as you can and press ok. Press P for pause. This shouldn't take you more than 3 seconds in the timer.
4. Go to Google, write Hexiom and play it in any site you want excepting Kongregate.
5. On the level selection screen of that site, at the bottom right click on ‘Load level’.
6. Paste the code you previously copied.
7. Hold spacebar. That will show you which tiles are in correct place and which tiles aren’t. Any tile in blue is in its wrong place, any tile in yellow in its correct place.
8. Move every tile to their exact position, excepting one.
9. Go back to Kongregate. Unpause, and beat the level using your own guide you made in the other site.
10. You paused the game, so the timer is near zero. Finish the level as fast as possible.

If you want to beat random levels (Strategy B) (THIS IS A LONGER STRATEGY, BUT IT WON'T WORK DUE TO REPLAYING LEVEL NOT RESETTING TIMER)
1. On the level selection screen, click on the tile with a interrogation sign, ‘Generate Random Level’.
2. Choose its size.
3. Click on 'Save level' at top right. Copy the code and press ok.
4. Go to Google, write Hexiom and play it in any site you want excepting Kongregate.
5. On the level selection screen of that site, at the bottom right click on ‘Load level’.
6. Paste the code you previously copied.
7. Hold spacebar. That will show you which tiles are in correct place and which tiles aren’t. Any tile in blue is in its wrong place, any tile in yellow in its correct place.
8. Move every tile to their exact position, excepting one.
9. Go back to Kongregate. Beat the level using your own guide you made in the other site.
10. As it probably took you more than the time needed for the badge, click on 'Replay' and do it as fast as you can.
