Super Hexagon distills action gaming down to the very essentials, resulting in an incredible example of how effective games can be at their most rudimentary and visceral. It’s wholly reactive, reflex-centric gameplay, almost akin to something as old-school as Pong. That is, if Pong were intensely difficult and set to techno.

The game is low on frills, but high on excitement. As I noted earlier, in today’s age of tense storylines and dreamy graphics, it’s tough to make something compelling, but for me, this was a great experience. The whiny, petulant part of me would have loved a simpler stage or two, but it is truly difficult not to appreciate it as-is. Well done, Mr Cavanagh. I dislike you very, very much.

The sobering light of the morning always brings perspective. Super Hexagon is fun, focused, elegant and compulsively challenging. For some, it'll be an intense months-long relationship. For most, it'll be more like a single life in the game itself: thrilling, a worthwhile learning experience, and over quickly.

Super Hexagon is an incredible game. Its simplicity makes it accessible, and its challenge level is rewarding when you learn to overcome it. It will kill you fast and often, but the lightning-quick restart time will all but force another round. Whatever happens, it involves getting lost in a spinning, color-shifting world driven by a heavy chip-tune beat.

Super Hexagon is a work of art skillfully combined with monstrous difficulty. The game is both hypnotic and addictive, and unless fast-twitch gameplay entirely alienates you, you’re going to get lost in this sea of shapes.

Super Hexagon is a simple, engaging game, perfect for the mobile experience. You'll go in thinking you'll play a short game, but soon find yourself repeating the same level at least a couple of dozen times, quickly jabbing at the screen to restart after cursing loudly from the ridiculous mistake you just made. Each play through is worth it though, as just breaking your own personal record by a second will give you a level of satisfaction you wouldn't expect to feel.

Super Hexagon punishes more than it rewards, but the adrenaline rush you get from playing far exceeds any mental anguish. Well, at least until you check out the best times on the Game Center leaderboards. Sobering, to say the least.

The result is an experience caught perpetually somewhere between hypnotic and infuriating, which teaches you to appreciate all the “little wins” that occur as you game.

Super Hexagon doesn’t have a whole lot to it with its survival gameplay, but it’s still plenty of fun and I found myself coming back. Fans of Terry Cavanagh’s work and even those unfamiliar with him should definitely check this out.

Inexpensive, innovative, and sensory-spinning thrills of this caliber are rare.
