The simple and striking two-colour graphical style manages to keep the action readable, allowing Cavanagh and Chipzel to push the boat out with a vibrant ‘neon-chiptune-dubstep’ aesthetic. 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. 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. Game Statistics Rating 3. 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). Hexagon was a one day jam game I made in early 2012. Updated: FebruThis is the kind of game you’re going to pass off to your friends and say, 'You’ve gotta check this out.' It’s dangerously addictive.
