Super Hexagon is a game designed by Terry Cavanagh as an expansion of Hexagon, a browser-based Flash game made for Pirate Kart V, a 48-hour community game-building project.The rules are simple. You control a small triangle attached to the edge of the central hexagon. Your goal is to avoid being caught by the onrushing waves of walls coming in from the edge of the screen by dodging clockwise and counterclockwise around the perimeter of the hexagon for as long as possible. Watching the trailer will give you a reasonably good idea of what this is like.The game is currently available on iPhone and iPad via iTunes, on Windows, Mac, and Linux via Steam, on Android via Google Play or the Amazon App Store, on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and Steam via the Humble Store, and on Blackberry 10 devices via Blackberry World.The soundtrack, by Northern Irish chiptune musician Chipzel, is available for purchase on her Bandcamp page.See also RFLEX for simplistic yet difficult and reflex-oriented gameplay.Begin!

Difficulty Levels: The three regular levels — "Hexagon", "Hexagoner" and "Hexagonest" — are indicated to be "Hard", "Harder", and "Hardest", respectively.

Color Contrast: The regular levels to their Hyper counterparts. Hexagon uses warm background colors (red, orange, yellow), while Hyper Hexagon inverts their hues into cool background colors (cyan, azure, blue), then into magenta, salmon, and vermilion after sixty seconds. Hexagoner has a black background and green/yellow walls, while Hyper Hexagoner is the complete RGB inverse with a white background and pink/blue walls. Another sixty seconds and the background/wall colours switch places. Hexagonest cycles through all kinds of colors, while Hyper Hexagonest is completely grayscale. And then it goes into black-and-white mode...

Endless Game: Modes are completed for unlocking purposes after 60 seconds, but the game continues until you die. The changing backgrounds goes like this: The level you picked -> That level's hyper mode -> The next level's hyper mode until you reach Hyper Hexagonest, and finally the black and white Hexagon.

Nintendo Hard: Most people survive for around 5 seconds on their first few runs. (One of the screenshots on the PC Gamer review shows a score of 3.18 seconds, captioned "For a while, this was my best time.") To reach the maximum rank for a difficulty level, you need to last a minute.

Interface Screw: Part of the difficulty comes from the way the screen is constantly moving — sometimes very quickly. Hexagonest in particular will suddenly spin very quickly, basically requiring you to react to the patterns with memories.

Bullet Hell: The waves and waves of walls coming in at dizzying speeds, and common player reactions create an effect not too different from the genre.

Deadly Walls: The entire point of the game. You can, however, bump into the sides of walls without getting killed, which will prove VERY helpful for spiral patterns.

Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure
 Super Hexagon (Video Game) / int_ad54ff39
comment
Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure: The sub-seconds place in the game timer does not actually display hundreths of a second, but rather 1/60ths of a second, based on the refresh rate of televisions and monitors in NTSC-based countries. This may not make as much sense if you're not using a screen with a multiple of 60 as the refresh rate.

Endless Running Game: You aren't actually running anywhere far, you're just moving around a central hexagon, but it's still one in spirit since the goal is to avoid Deadly Walls as long as possible. Just imagine a traditional ERG, but with wrap-around.

Anti-Frustration Features: Played with. The game can still be pretty frustrating, but you can go against the sides of the incoming walls without killing yourself, and your hitbox is the tip of the triangle you're playing as, which are features that were not implemented in the prototype, Hexagon.
