Hex Gl

HexGL is a breathtaking, futuristic anti-gravity racing simulation built by Thibaut Despoulain in pure WebGL and JavaScript. Serving as a passionate tribute to legendary sci-fi racers like Wipeout and F-Zero, HexGL pushes browser 3D graphics to astonishing heights.

Pilot a sleek, hover-craft racing ship through floating cybernetic track loops, soaring banked curves, and neon city canyons at speeds well over 400 km/h. Master airbrakes to negotiate tight hairpin turns without colliding with high-voltage track barriers.

Hit glowing track booster pads to trigger supersonic speed bursts, manage ship shield integrity against wall friction, and shave milliseconds off your qualifying times to conquer the global leaderboard.

How to play HexGL

1. Use Up Arrow or W to accelerate and Down Arrow or S to brake.
2. Steer with Left and Right Arrow keys or A and D.
3. Press Q and E to activate left and right airbrakes for sharp cornering at high speeds.
4. Drive across glowing blue and purple chevron pads on the track surface for massive velocity boosts.

Tips for winning and high scores

• Master the airbrakes: tapping Q or E while turning allows you to carve through sharp bends without losing forward speed.
• Avoid scraping track barriers; wall collisions deplete your ship's shield meter and can destroy your craft.
• Hit every boost chevron pad on straightaways to reach maximum supersonic velocity.
• Adjust graphic fidelity settings in the pause menu if running on school Chromebooks for smooth 60 FPS performance.
