It's just so so good this.

This is one of those rare, arcade perfect things. A pure, undiluted game.

It's worth every penny.


Yep - everything about it is perfect, sound, music, controls, graphics, secrets, challenges, leaderboards, quick restarts and zero unecessary plot.

I have an evening to myself tonight so once I have walked the dogs I am going to play this until my eyes bleed and see if I can make some headway into that bastard Zoidberg's score on arcade.

I'm not great.... But I love it. Do add me if we aren't already friends.


Just checked, and we are.

I had some time to myself so once I had eaten I played this to make sure that bastard Trousers didn't catch me up.

267M and 109th on the leaderboard. Sorry

That was amazing* timing. I had a go on it and upped my score by about 60m to 192 million then went to the leaderboard to gloat, only to find out since I had started playing you had gone and got *that* score. You're not even sorry.

I'm getting much better at managing the human multiplier now and dashing the shit out of stuff. Each playthrough teaches you something new.

*ultimately depressing

Yep, I think I've found most of the secret levels and humans on the first four worlds but don't get them all on a single play through.
I need to practice world five a lot more as I hardly get any there, and I know I could do a bit better on herding humans to keep the multiplier up.

I'm also not sure how to do the final boss without getting hit a couple of times.

There's definitely room for me to improve but I don't think I'm going to touch the 1 billion scores at the top of the leaderboard.

I bought this on Steam last night. I had one game of ARCADE mode on ROOKIE skill level and thought the whole thing looked and sounded jolly splendid, and was a superb game.

Then I played Hearthstone, did my backups (including offsite), and watched telly for the rest of the evening.

I will definitely return to this, possibly on a Friday night when I've had a 'glass' of wine, the family is in bed, and I can get headphoned up in a darkened room, crank up the volume, and wank myself silly have a good extended play session.

There appears to be some sort of option for cross-platform scoreboards so I'll have to look into that, so Dr Z and Trousers can make me miserable.

It seems to be one these games where lots of things will have to be learned and secrets found to snag a challenging score.

OMG - redline mode

For when you think the normal game just is not fast enough - how about double the speed !

Nope. Could not cope with that. Maybe 20 odd years ago but quite frankly fuck it.

I always found that playing Super Hexagon on a faster mode then switching back to the normal mode made the game feel positively sedate. Definitely made it easier after that, but could never work out if it was a good thing or not.

Up another 10M and into the top 100.

Nice work Zoidberg

I did Forest on Redline line last night. I didn't lose a life.

Or blink for 6 minutes. Ow.

321M and 70th on one life. Maximum multiplier is pegged at 100.

I'm finding more secrets but there's room for improvement still.

Post subject:  Re: Nex Machina
A smidge under 400M and 51st on Rookie now that I know where most of the secrets are, and I'm getting better at chaining.
Now back to Experienced difficulty for a while. I need to get to the end on 1 credit to see the hidden boss level.

I yoinked this and was most shocked when it cost me £7.39.

FAKE NEWS I tell you.

I too have now bought it.

Grim..., if we hadn't had to spend that extra 39p we could have combined our funds to buy 0.000099246 bitcoins.

I've been playing this. I'm dreadful. Didnt really know what I'm meant to be doing so watched the replay of the top ranked person on the first world. Mind blowing. Absolutely balletic destruction.

By brother in law gifted me this on steam and it's really arcade heaven. It's the twin stick shooter to end all other twin stick shooters.

Too bad that the arcade mode needs to be played in one sitting, since my time to play games ever since my daughter was born is either non-existent or just a few minutes that i can fire one game of pinball arcade.

But when i have time, i'll definitely indulge in this. The presentation and soundtrack are also lovely.
