STILL PLAYING
Super Hexagon iOS
Terry Cavanagh’s new game, Mr Platformer (see p20), is encouragement enough to reinstall this twitch classic – agame we’re troubled to discover celebrated its tenth anniversary last year. We’re equally alarmed when it transpires we’ve not actually finished Hexagonest and Hyper Hexagoner modes on the mobile version, which we’re eventually able to put right, though Hyper Hexagonest remains beyond our waning reflexes. Its brilliance is easy to forget: like a top-down take on Hole In The Wall played on a waltzer operated by a maniac, it deviously wrongfoots you with its shifting patterns, demanding intense concentration as you try to pilot your tiny triangular craft through gaps between barriers that spin toward you at increasing speed. That Chipzel-penned soundtrack, too, remains one of the all-time greats.
