Like riding a bicycle 0
I have recently started to develop an obsession over the use of dimensions in games.It started with Crypt of the NecroDancer, which I consider to be the absolute best rhythm game ever made. I have thought about why I think so for a long time, and I concluded that one of the reasons is the way it uses spatial dimensions. Most rhythm games follow the basic conventions of sheet music: one dimension (left-right) is used to represent time (when the notes are played) and a second dimension (up-down) t...

The Six-Sided Rave 1
Move through the gaps. That's all there is to it.I want you to imagine playing a game of precision co-ordination in a nightclub full of pulsing lights and throbbing music while being repeatedly spun around on a swivel chair. If said fantasy sounds nightmarish and unfair to you then you might want to sit this one out, but if that sounds like a rip-roaring good time then here’s Super Hexagon, an abstract indie game based around reflexes and spacial awareness. Playing Super Hexagon is elegantly sim...

Incredibly difficult, but extremely enjoyable 0
This game is probably the funnest I've had with a game in quite some time. It's the minimalistic approach to a puzzler that really got me to invest over 3 hours. 3 hours well spent, as I thought only 30 minutes had gone by. There is no EASY MODE in this game, it's straight to the point and it forces you to adjust to it's element from the get go. You'll find yourself dead more times than you can count, but it somehow isn't frustrating. The sound track leaves you cheerful and really fits the mood ...

Excellent. 0
Terry Cavanagh is a genius. He is also a motherfucker. Let me explain.distractionware's second commercial release, Super Hexagon is an immediately accessible game - its simple controls allow anyone with a grasp of the left and right arrow keys to play it, and its trippy, neon visuals and throbbing, ravey chiptune soundtrack are appealing from the start - and yet it is a game that will make you love and hate it in equal measure.Everything about Super Hexagon's presentation is aesthetically pleasi...

Mindblowing 0
Minimalistic hypnotical game that gets you in a trance once you concentrate enough to atually last more than 5 seconds of gameplay. The music that accompanies the game fits right in and helps you to beat the closing hexagons that you have to avoid.You use only your left and right keys to move your triangle that rotates around a central hexagon finding the gap to avoid collision with the closing parts. The game has a really fast turnaround time and most games don't last much more than 20 seconds....

Beautiful Frustration 0
Super Hexagon is a great game. It's one that will make you rage and think that it's impossible, on only the second level. This game is truly one of the hardest games I have every played, and that made completing it all the sweeter. For me I was able to beat the first 5 levels in less than 10 hours, the last level alone though took 20+. Be prepared to grind, and truly hate this game at times, but for the price you'll pay it's definitely worth it....
