I’m not good enough to see it for myself. Progress past every Hyper level, and you beat the game. Survive a minute here and you’ll reach the next Hyper level, where everything steps up once again. The colours onscreen change to upset your focus, the patterns of shapes grow more complicated and difficult to avoid, and the gameplay accelerates to a brain-melting speed. Reach 60 seconds and the even more difficult Hyper Hexagon mode is unlocked. It’s an exercise in pure concentration and dexterity. The action speeds up, and the whole screen spins like a wayward Catherine wheel. After every ten or fifteen seconds the game shifts the type of geometric shapes thrown at you, from simple lines to fiendish mazes. Similar to that gaming giant, the challenge of Super Hexagon is to hold out as long as you can against ever lengthening odds, in this case your survival time as your high score. In terms of a singular, focused concept, you might say it’s the modern day Tetris. The player cannot influence which way the screen turns or how quickly oncoming bars cannot be attacked or broken in any way instead you’re forced to adapt and react in a split-second to the different shapes being thrown at you, be it a succession of squares with only the tightest of gaps to squeeze through, or pentagons that don’t open up until they’re right on top of you. It’s a simple concept that might not appeal to gamers who are used to having a little more control over their fate. That’s what you press to try again after a game over. As the player, you take control of a pixel that must be moved around the sides of a central hexagon to avoid collision with oncoming shapes comprised of throbbing light. It’s a game that needs to be played in order to understand the appeal a verbal description will always sell it short. To shamelessly mangle a Frank Zappa quote, writing about Super Hexagon is like dancing about architecture. If YouTube had not shown me otherwise I would not believe that the game could be beaten.

The latest Steam cult hit in-the-making Super Hexagon is a fast-paced, addictive skill game unrepentant for its cold-blooded difficulty. Only, in this case, such a statement is probably the most fitting review I can give. As a reviewer, this would usually be something not to admit so openly. This review must open with a confession: I haven’t finished Super Hexagon. " Super Hexagon is a master class in single-minded vision, minimalism in design, and pure addictive compulsion."
