Secondly, the game isn't exactly rhythm based, so the game feels much less predictable and exciting. In Super Hexagon, the game does not have a Death Counter and does not have a huge number of failures slapped onto the screen it is much more focused on beating the actual level instead of rubbing your own failures in your face. In other challenging minimalist games such as The Impossible Game, repeated failure is extremely aggravating more than it should be, with elements such as a Death Counter and an annoying looping music track. This game thrives off being difficult, which seemed to be the developer's goal, and it is well executed, making the gameplay very addictive. Also, the game tends to change colors and such in a way that the game looks like a minimalist acid trip.

Finally beating a stage, hearing the music swell as the screen explodes with colour, is a huge adrenaline rush book-ending a brutally immersive experience.Warning: This game is HARD. In fact, the ‘playing fields’ are psychedelic marvels, a stream of dizzying perspective flips that introduce a fascinating layer of difficulty by disorientation as you struggle to maintain your bearings amidst the chaos. The central shape bounces in time to the music as the screen spins and zooms in what should, by all rights, be as nauseating as one of those dodgy-looking pop-up carnival rides. Hours come and go – fail, “Game Over”, spacebar, “Again”, repeated over and over as you chip away, second by second. After three hours with the game, I only got past the first two levels two minutes worth of progression (disclaimer: it’s very possible I’m extremely shite at the game). ![]()
