Perfect

It's about as pure an experience as video games deliver. Two inputs: right side of the screen for clockwise, left for anti-clockwise. Avoid the walls for as long as you can.

It's about as pure an experience as video games deliver. Two inputs: right side of the screen for clockwise, left for anti-clockwise. Avoid the walls for as long as you can. An endless runner on an axis. But no other game is able pull me into a flow state instantly like this does. Because you're not just avoiding the walls, they aren't just randomly flying at you, there are patterns. Those patterns can be learned and responded to with sequences of taps that feel like performing combos, but without losing any fine grain control. Combined with the furious chiptune soundtrack it's thrilling. A mix of pure synesthesic reaction and high-speed pattern recognition and exectution. Perfection.

Addicting.

Very hard when you first start but a blast to play when you get used to it.

Bought the game because of my ex-girlfriend AKA Queen. Sad memories. I told myself that I would finally forget her when I completely beat this game. Beat it on 29 November 2016. 12.2 hour mark.

Buy it.

the reason i brought that up is that, the first time i played this thing, i was so proud that i could pass 15 seconds on the easiest difficulty. It took me around 6 months, but i finally beat it.

The game is perfect to me. nothing i want …

I've beaten this game. 72 seconds on the hyper hardest difficulty.

The game is perfect to me. nothing i want to change at all from it. everytime i lose, it always feel fair, everytime i get out of a session, i feel like i'm improved. the difficulty jump from each level is perfect, it has just the right amount of variation to be not intimidating but also intriguing.

Yeah, a perfect game.
