Super hexagon is a simple game, one that would be right at home in an arcade. Brutally difficult, blindingly fast, beautiful music Only two controls: move left, & move right. The objective is simple, avoid oncoming walls for 1 minute to beat the stage. There are three main stages, Hexagon, Hexagoner, & hexagonest Each having a higher difficulty “hyper mode” While that may sound like much, bare in mind, each level has randomized layouts & that they are all REALLY FREAKING HARD. Albeit, the fun kind of hard. Infact the games difficulty rating go from “hard” on hexagon, to “Hardestest” on Hyper Hexagonest Absolutely worth the price for admission on any platform.
