Haha, this game will mess with your head when you think you know what's going on. It seems pretty psychedelic. 27:36

I was going to say "I bet Wario has like 5 mins."
49 seconds. It's weird how you get "locked in" and just breeze through certain sections almost on auto-pilot... and then start a new game and die within 3 seconds. In a way, this very much reminds me of my first experience with Doing Things The Hard Way in VVVVVV... there would be passes where I'd almost make it the whole way, die, start over, and then die another 10 times on the first 2 or 3 screens. It just played weird mental games with me!
Terry, this game is great so far. It's quick, responsive, has effective visuals, and the soundtrack sync is actually helpful in developing tapping rhythms to get through the various corridors.

I'm torn between loving this game and hating the fact it didn't come out when I was a sugar-fuelled kid. I'm yet to break 20 seconds. I wish there was a sound test so I could listen to the music indefinitely.
Not at all surprised to see Wario in the top 10 on the leaderboards.
Edit: 'line game over begin line game over begin game over begin line game over begin'. Why am I doing this to myself before I've even had my morning coffee?!

Yeah I wish there was a way to get continuous music and auto restarts (I'm gonna keep playing anyway!) like the Super Gravitron. I asked Terry on Twitter about that before I saw that he was actually right here in the thread.
I'm not sure if the tunes on her bandcamp are in the game. But if you want the music for the 1st level, it's on soundcloud

Ah cheers, much appreciated!
Haven't enjoyed a 'soundtrack' this much since Super Meat Boy.
The song Focus in the album I linked is the one in the trailer.
Ahh, right
The other tracks are pretty cool as well, even if they're not in the game

Doing terrible as predicted but enjoying it. I need to sit down and get more comfortable with it rather than playing in these really short bursts I've been doing.

I don't know if my reaction to "Triangle" with "What the fuck?" was appropriate or not, but that's exactly how it went down.
Loving the madness of this. We'll see if I have an iPhone in one piece at the end of this.

Same here, I'm yet to play it in anything approaching 'optimal' surroundings so I'm not going to beat myself up too much. I'll be interested to see how it plays on the iPad too, I've a feeling it might be a smidgen easier.
Absolutely loving it though, it's hypnotic.

"Veni, Vidi, Vici" and 'I wanna be the guy' in super meat boy are pretty much equally tied for my 'I want to punch a developer' award.
But in a good way. thanks for VVVVV, I'm gonna blind buy this one based off that. Also, double thanks for getting it onto 3ds. I didn't play it on PC for long due to me hating keyboard controls. DS version rocks.

Obviously you've never played the Super Gravitron.
(well technically there's no retry feature there, it just automatically throws you back into the fire)

Got through Hexagon with 61-ish seconds I think. Do they all go forever? Dunno if I should go to the next difficulty or "train" on this for awhile.

best 28.59 after playing for a few minutes
cool game!!
edit: best is 57" in first level. it can be easier or harder depending on when/if you get those 'spiral' sequences where you just hold down one direction and then everything is clear for a sec
tip: just look at the "lane" that the cursor is in and ignore the spinning as best you can

I'm enjoying it, but I can feel my blood pressure steadily rising as I fail to improve.

I didn't care much for the Flash version, and I am having trouble getting into the iOS version.
It's a little too fast-paced and frustrating for me.
The iOS version came out nice though. Simple and polished. I like the music too.

The mind games continue. I played a little bit more before going to bed last night, and my eyes would go back and forth between focusing on the pulsating walls moving towards the player and the alternating "lanes" that radiate out to the edge of the screen. On some attempts, seeing the paths I had to take was really easy, while on others my eyes could not separate the two. It started to really frustrate me. For a while I was doing pretty good on each attempt, and then I would get a string of them where I'd die in under 10 seconds.
This game... it made me see spinning shapes when I closed my eyes.

if you're anything like me then you have to let it sink in for abit.

I'm not doing a whole lot better, but one thing I've found that helps is to play a bit on Hexagoner, the hardest difficulty available from the start. I'm hilariously inept at it, but I found myself doing a lot better when I returned to the easiest mode since it felt so slow in comparison.
I'm working on getting beyond 40 seconds on the last hyper level. I've been working at this game for almost 10 hours. Progress feels great until you brush that aside and aim for higher goals.
