Super Hexagon

Top Con

Can cause slight nausea

The fast spinning graphics could cause some people a bit of nausea. See More

Top Pro

Aggressive aesthetic

The visual design of the game consists of basic geometric shapes in bright colors that turn and blink while you are trying to stay focused on a little triangle in the middle. See More

Genre:Action / Arcade

Co-Op:None

Controller Support:No

Top Con

Not free

Top Pro

Addictive, challenging gameplay

You will die... a lot, and that is the point. The game is challenging, but fair. It is as much about memorization as it is about precision of movement. See More

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions

Top Pro

Higher production values

The latest entry into the Geometry Wars series and the production values are pretty nice. Graphics in the game are the best they have been with newly designed levels that work in the third dimension. Overall, there is quite a lot of polish to the titles which shows over its previous endeavours. See More

Top Con

Chasing high scores can get tiring

While there are some new additional game modes in this third iteration of the series, the same "chase the high score" element is present and is still the main focus of the game. While not entirely bad in and of itself (chasing high scores), it can wear thin pretty quickly. See More

Top Pro

HID controller support

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions can be played with any Bluetooth HID compatible controller. Something that is very welcome being that a controller will give much more precise controls for such a hectic style game. See More

Top Con

No Android TV support

With the release of the Nvidia Shield set top box as well as the Nexus Player, Android TV is becoming quite popular for TV gaming. Sadly the Android TV Store does not carry all titles available in the Google Play Store, meaning the dev has to publish it there, which Activision did not do for Geometry Wars 3. See More

Top Pro

Leaderboards

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions utilized Google's Play Games leaderboard feature wherein users can compete for the highest score with their friends and the world. See More

Top Con

No immersive mode

For such a popular game released by a very large studio, to see no immersive mode for the game is quite a disappointment. There is no reason to still see this feature missing from games two years after it's initial release in the OS. See More

Luck based as to how far one can get

Top Pro

Unpredictable gameplay

While much of this game is based on skill, there are enough random events to keep any player on their toes. See More

Top Pro

Charming pixel based graphics

The pixel based graphics give the game quite a bit of charm to the game. See More

Top Pro

Fun power-ups

Flying Dragons, Motorcycles, Dinosaurs and even Teleporting are some of the powerups to be found in Jetpack Joyride. See More

Daddy Long Legs

Top Pro

Friends scores viewable while playing

The player can see their friends scores laid out in front of them as they play, giving incentive to get further or play just one more round. See More

May be boring after a while

There is not much depth to the game and after playing for a while the player may become bored. See More

Roid Rage

Top Pro

Great graphics

Art style is unique and yet doesn't distract from gameplay. See More

Simple controls
