Man, after playing the flash game for so long, getting used to the touch screen controls is tough. It's way faster than I'm used to for touch controls, and I'm used to the feedback of pressing buttons.
I want to play this in my phone, though, so I'm going to stick with it.

Sweet, added it to OP
Here's my path to playing this game.
-Heard about it on NeoGAF (saw iOS only, didn't bother to look into it)
-At work with friend, he tells me to search on youtube for a VVVVVV song)
-I listen to the song(and love it)
-I check for a gameplay video of VVVVVV because I've heard so much about it
-I decide I'm going to buy VVVVVV for my 3DS
-I look through the Terry Cavanaugh youtube and discover the trailer for Super Hexagon
-I'm blown away
-I tell my friend to buy it on his iPad
-We play it
-I fall in love
-I don't own an iOS device
-I'm sad.

Haven't tried the Hyper yet. Beat the first level and moved on to Hexagoner. Great game.

It's like Simon Says and Tetris and Arkanoid had a baby.

This is the hardest game ever. 13.15sec is the best I managed to achieve today.

cant even last 30 seconds
There is a joke somewhere in this post
Breaking records = hypertension mode, I wish I could turn off the announcer sometimes, heh
Thanks for the welcome!
This game is very fundamentally different from VVVVVV, but I'm really proud of it and I hope people get what I'm going for with it
Holy shit! I love VVVVVV, and this too is gloriously masochistic from what I've played so far. Thanks for the great games.

Despite loving the music, I got the farthest today when I was playing with the sound off. Every time I break my record its only by half a second before I die.

listen to the mad man
I feel guilty paying the artist more than I paid Terry for the game, hahaha.
Edit: Holy shit these tracks are killer, oh my god.

I've played for about 30 minutes, and I have no issues with the controls. But I'm pretty bad, highest score is 18 I think.
edit: At 38 now

I feel they're quite solid once you realize you should touch the screen for a very short time.
Before doing that though it can seem like the thing swings like crazy, but the reaction time makes a lot of sense when you consider how fast the game gets.
Agreed. It does pretty much exactly what I want it to 100% of the time, which is not something I can say for a lot of iOS games, TBH.

My best has been 29:15. I've never heard the words game over so much in so little time before now.

I had issues with the controls at first because I was trying to swipe left and right without thinking. That just feels like how it should play, especially since I always played the PC version with one hand on the arrow keys. This feels like it should be a one-handed game.
Once I got used to using two hands, it felt a lot better. It'd be cool if that was a control option, but not sure how hard that would be to implement.

In can be a little annoying when you know where you want to go and overshoot it, but it's pretty reliable. It doesn't really allow for feathering, but you need to be decisive given the pace anyways.

Just checked the App Store - up to #29.
My twitter feed is just exploding with talk about this game. Giant Bomb folks, 8-4 guys, 1up guys, friends, everyone.

It's begging for an old-school paddle control, but the difficulty obviously wasn't tuned around that and might make it too easy.
My only problem with the touch controls is not with the controls themselves--it's that it probably plays a bit better on the iPad than the iPhone. My big meaty thumbs take up a lot of the iPhone screen and I've occasionally touched part of the bezel instead of the screen in a panic.

Wow, Terry did say it's doing well but that's really, really good. ~14k hits on the trailer too. I'm pretty surprise cause this game is hardcore imo. It's funny especially with all this easy difficulty talk lately, this game feels like a "fuck you" to that stance
