I thought GOG ditched lower price points after that experiment ?

Inside the download? I won't buy it so it doesn't help me and tools is quite a generic term.

Maybe only for classics, but this game is so simple that charging $6 is probably too much. It's similar to many action android or flash games which usually cost around $1-$5.

Finally!!
Great game, GOG!

This is a great game at a great price. Beautifully formed, really.

The trailer makes it look impossible. Then you try playing it, and each game lasts mere seconds. Honestly, the first time you survive as long as TEN seconds will be a genuine achievement!

Yet this is an important aspect of the game -- because when each game lasts this short a time, losing takes almost nothing away from you. This isn't an hour of your time wasted on a failed game of FTL. It's 6 seconds. 8 seconds. 3 seconds (argh, stupid). 14 seconds (OMG). 20 seconds (Triangle!)

Game over. Begin. Game over. Begin. Game over. Begin. So many games in such a short space of time. And gradually, you improve. Gradually, you notice that although you continue to fail, your average times are increasing. Now you are regularly lasting 30 seconds. Tomorrow, it might be 40. In some flailing out-of-control efforts, you get achingly ever-closer to the magical minute mark. And each time you out-do your personal best, the game gives you a little reward.

Then finally, you manage it, and in your elation you will remember how impossible what you have just done once seemed. The game doesn't stop, but it opens up a little further. This was hard, but harder awaits.

Also hardest. And harderest. And hardestest. Well... you get the picture :)

Few people will truly master the game at all levels, and so it will remain on your hard drive, offering a genuine challenge every time you care to fire it up, with the knowledge that you can play it for as short or long a time as you care to. And that the short can literally be mere minutes, or seconds, if that's all the time you have.

There's not too many games which fit that particular niche.

(As a foot note, when I first saw a trailer for this game, I recoiled in horror and said to myself "I am NEVER subjecting myself to that game!" ... I can't remember exactly what convinced me to eventually take the plunge, but I'm genuinely glad that I did.)

Thanks. :)

I was able to get 106% completion on Super Meat Boy, but I can't even manage to survive for 60 seconds in the very first level of this game. I highly recommend it for hardcore gamers who want to feel challenged - it'll take you days to beat all levels even if you're usually pretty good at playing hard games.

But not on GoG, though.

If people would like Super Hexagon DRM free, for PC, Mac and Linux, and with Steam keys, it is now for sale on Humble Store for $0.99. The offer ends in 5.3 hours....

Super Hexagon is a great arcade game. I can recommend it, certainly for this price. It's good fun, even for how simple it is. Just as long as you're playing a level with music you like.

You're a brave one - just watching the screenshots made me dizzy.

Yeah, it's silly but I just had to post it ;)
