Does anyone besides me play this? I find it a really fun game for the same reason I find rhythm games fun - it's a very minimalist, pure skill that you can push to ridiculous extremes just by playing it and letting your unconsciousness digest it, and it's really cool and satisfying to execute.
It's available on Steam and iPhone/iPad, it's cheap and since most games end in death in under a minute you can whip it out and play it any time there's a gap in your schedule, on any train ride, etc. The only controls are moving left and moving right, yet successively harder stages push you to use all of your finger control, all of your reactions and reflexes and pattern recognition and unconscious muscle memory. When you are first playing this game, the most important skill to develop is getting muscle memory for moving your pointers by exact increments (one 'arc', two 'arc's, three 'arc's, and also under/over compensating for being close to an edge). Also, be warned that Hexagonest and Hyper Hexagonest have a slightly faster pointer speed than the other 4 difficulties, and when you first start playing them it'll almost be like learning the game all over again at first.

My best times atm:
Hexagon: 188.18
Hexagoner: 187.08
Hexagonest: 88.05
Hyper Hexagon: 153.23
Hyper Hexagoner: 128.18
Hyper Hexagonest: 80.17
There's also an interesting clone of Super Hexagon called Open Hexagon. The levels that come with it aren't as polished as the Super Hexagon ones (well, you get what you pay for), but what's really interesting about the game is that it offers LUA/json scripting of entirely new levels and gimmicks. So, I definitely think that there's the talent on this website to come up with something really awesome on Open Hexagon, and I'm willing to collaborate if you are >: )
