Description
Hexagons are first order permutohedrons: the vertices of a hexagon can be formed by permuting the coordinates of the vector (1, 2, 3).

The north pole of the planet Saturn has a hexagonal storm cloud pattern with 8,600 mile long sides, larger than the diameter of Earth.

Though hexagon may appear to be a difficult word to rhyme, there are actually dozens of words that rhyme with it. For example: Autobahn, decagon, decathlon, electron, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, leprechaun, and marathon.
  • A minimal action game by Terry Cavanagh, with music by Chipzel.
  • Insanely fast-paced, deceptively simple, strangely addictive.
  • Offers 6 levels of difficulty: Hard, Harder, Hardest, Hardester, Hardestest, and Hardestestest!

Gameplay distilled to its purest form

Super Hexagon looks simple, but plays hard. All you need to do is rotate a triangle around a spinning, pulsating hexagon, and avoid all of the moving walls that are racing towards the center. In this simple concept there is such a depth of gameplay though, that you can joyfully play this game for hours on end, day after day. There is little to the graphics, there is no storyline or exposition, yet I find I Super Hexagon more than most other games I own. It's enjoyably difficult. The challenge is so great that I notice my performance changes based on how much sleep I've had, or whether I've had a cup of coffee. It's that sensitive to changes in your attention. I can use my time scores as a metric for how alert I am for the day. It's like a meditation exercise simply to play the game because it forces you to pay attention completely, both near the center of the hexagon, and along the outskirts, in all directions. You will find yourself transfixed. It's strangely relaxing and energizing at the same time. It's utterly hypnotic.

A pure gem of frustration

Probably a very good game for skilled gamer, but absolutely atrocious for the other who will prefer watching powerplays to benefit from the fabulous music is little bit more than 30 sec. I found this game so frustrating I had to just stop and resign. I would say it lacks some Hardless mode or at least some options to set the way the cursor can be moved (not only 360° but also track by track like an Audiosurf) and the zoom / camera is handled. Making an unscrupulously difficult game is a design choice I totally respect, but with some more ways to capture and help poor-skilled players understand and improve - or simply profit - as many other difficult games already did (Terry with VVVVVV, Dark Souls, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Furi, etc.) could have made the game even greater, or even the greatestestest. Here I just disappointment for me. I would have loved loving it. Sad.

Know what you are getting into

As others have said, this is not a deep game. There is no storyline. It's difficult. Most games will last only a matter of seconds to minutes (with practice). These are not bad qualities to a game, unless you are expecting something different. The fun in this game is certainly of the "just one more try" caliber. I have this on both the iPad and now through GoG on Windows. Both appear to me to be equivalent experiences. The load time on the Windows version is simply amazing to me; no splash screen or anything to get in the way. It makes for a great way to load up a quick game and then close it down again with no regrets.

Game is Brilliant

There is not much to say about this game: It's fun, It's difficult, it's got a great sound track and it's dirt cheap. I guess the only thing that really bugged me was the announcer, which would often interrupt the 'flow'. On the bright side it can be disabled by removing some of the sound files. This game is worth buying. Get it.

Most addictively challenging game ever!

Seriously, finishing this game means a HUGE amount of frustration on the way to the goal, but jeez, any second you add to your score is incredibly rewarding, and reach 60 seconds in the last level, after weeks of training is the greatest feeling you can ever possibly imagine. And still, you play, again and again, because each level feels like a frenetic dance with your keyboard and the game. Seriously, for this price + a little bit of sweat at the beginning, this is the best investment you can make. (sorry for my english)
