You start out losing only a couple seconds in, but it doesn't get frustrating since there's little to no delay between games. This is one of those games where you need to practice.

And it's still addictive, your mind thinks 'Argh! I just lost!' Then 1 second later, you're back to playing, trying to beat your score by at least half a second. Just tap the screen and you're back to playing. No ads, no fuss, trying to press multiple buttons with long loading times in between. The most minuscule detail turns out to be the most redeeming factor: when you lose, you could just tap (quite vigorously, seeing as you just lost) and boom, you're right back to playing. I sincerely believe this game is one of the only games worth getting. The Only Game Worth Buying on the App Store TL DR I, meta04 (a purple гѓЎг‚ї icon in the top 15 of all six leaderboards, 4th place on Hexagon), think this couldn't be much better than it is. 30 seconds if you mash through the text.) Why did I dock a star then? So as to not look *too* flattering on this as to get ignored it's totally not because of a glitch related to high scores with which I have an easy time putting up when I only beat one high score every few days now. Why's it so hard? Because the game's creator designs things to feel good to him, and he has claimed that he 'has the attention span of a four-year-old' who doesn't like waiting for things to happen. What makes this so great? Well, as long as you can put up with the difficulty for the first week or so, it's a wonderful game to pass the time and to forever want to improve at: no ads, no IAPs, no nothing, just the six levels and your high scores on them. I've traditionally held exactly three in that regard: Threes!, VVVVVV, and Super Hexagon, and also secondarily osu!stream. Still, youвЂ™ll be upset for about a second вЂ“ the play sessions go so quickly youвЂ™ll barely notice.Ninety-nine percent of iOS games are abysmal, but there're a few that shine through. If thereвЂ™s a single thing thatвЂ™s going to bother you throughout Super Hexagon (besides the difficulty) itвЂ™s likely that any notification will throw off your session, sometimes ruining an epic run. The vibrant colors, hypnotic shapes and thumping music (comprised of expertly crafted chiptunes by Chipzel) combine to create a game thatвЂ™s as much art as it is a compelling play experience. The simplicity is so beautiful thereвЂ™s little to complain about. The experience is incredibly addictive вЂ“ especially when youвЂ™re in the zone. YouвЂ™ll start by surviving 5 seconds at a time, then 10, then 30 вЂ“ and finally youвЂ™ll hit 60 seconds and feel more completion than you get from some 100 hour RPGs. Did we like it?This game is a throwback that вЂ™s going to be alienating if you believe a game should reward you for anything other than earning each and every inch of your progress. Last a minute in any mode and an even-harder hyper version unlocks. Each mode progresses through stages based on geometric shapes every 15 seconds. Super Hexagon throws you right in to this relentless polygonal gauntlet with three available modes from the start вЂ“ Hard, Harder and Hardest. The lines approach in patterns that require quick-tapping and ruthless attention to avoid. YouвЂ™re rotating to avoid the endless onslaught of quickening lines funneling towards you from all directions. You orbit the hexagon via simple touch controls: tap left to rotate counter-clockwise and tap right to rotate clockwise. The game presents you as a tiny icon, a geometric shape glued to a hexagon at the center of your screen. His latest, Super Hexagon for iOS, is as minimal as they come. Terry CavanaghвЂ™s expertise is making unflinchingly difficult and addictive games with minimalism in mind.
