Super Hexagon

Super Hexagon is the opposite of bloated game design. It strips almost everything away and leaves you with pure reflex pressure. You are surviving increasingly fast rotating patterns, and there is almost nowhere to hide. No upgrades, no builds, no progression systems to soften the blow. It’s just you, your skills, and the shape on the screen.

That simplicity is exactly why it remains such a challenging iPhone game. Every run is quick and fun, and every improvement feels like you earned it. It is one of those games where surviving a little longer can feel like a massive achievement, but it also means that if you lose, you’re the only one to blame. 

If you want a game that’s simple but hard in the purest possible way, Super Hexagon still delivers. As a warning for people who suffer from motion sickness, this might be a game you’ll want to skip.
