Hypnocult

Super Polygon, hard AF

tetris

this game is absolutely electric, such a perfect marriage of twitchy reflexes and dastardly puzzling on the fly. I crave games like this that reinvent the way your brain works and actively search for new paradigms of play

Simple and compelling.

In terms of raw gimmickiness and presentation, this is a very high quality reflex game for the genre fans out there, and a very clever spin on the formula at that! From gameplay footage the game looks like a mess - and rightfully so, because it IS a mess, yet a very fun one. Core idea of the game is you're navigating a polygon, and you can swap 'string' positions where you're standing. You need to swap the strings to catch the falling lines, as they're only collectable if they fall flat on the side. If you don't catch a falling line, you game over. Even describing it is somewhat a mess, although it's something you get the hang of quick. But the idea that it is a mess is the selling point for me. Sounds strange, but the fun of the game is trying to wrap your head round the mess to know what's coming next, as well as discerning what strings to swap, in which order, and then where to collect the next line. It's overall a great mixture where you're not just reading, but multitasking to make it as easy as possible on you. Likewise, since it's so easy for the strings to get tangled, you can do a lot in the downtime, trying to put all the pieces in the right order, to make next pattern…

A very challenging game. My reflexes aren't fast enough for this
