    On GAF, he said that he wasnt going to go on Gamecenter for a week to give people a chance. Seems like he accidentally logged on

    True. I know he doesn't. :) Also, enjoying this game so far. If you love unforgiving action games, get it now. I'd say that this entire game is similar to that certain trinket from VVVVVV (You know what I'm talking about. Yes, that one. The triple V one.)

    The best way to get better at the game is to recognize specific patterns and figure out solutions for each of them. Other than that you should also try to train your eye at the outer rim when expecting a sharp exit. I finally beat Hexagoner and am #7 on the leaderboards (for now), but I still haven't managed to get beyond 20 seconds on Hexagonest :(

    I got like 40 seconds on Hexagon mode just now. I dont know why you guys act like this game is impossible, it just takes practice.

    I love this. The TA review was so bad. I nearly didn't get this because the TA reviewers made it look so hard with their 4 second consecutive streaks.
    I'm at 29 seconds so far. Only played for about 15 mins max.
    I can't believe how high people are on the lesderboards.
    Hope more achievements are added over time.
    It freezes for me occasionally too.

    Why the hell doesn't this work offline? Because if we got a high score, id be in jeopardy. Maybe?
    I want to be able to play offline dammit.
    Atdirst I thought it was just a bug that it froze every now and then but now I see it's the Internet thing :((

    Loving this. Super addictive, and a great "spin" on the endless dodge 'em up!

    Well done!

    After suffering through the flash version, the touch controls seem more intuitive.

    This and Bitless are great examples of a 'simple' flash game making an awesome port to ios.

    This is frustratingly good. I want to pull my hair out and jump with joy at the same time!
    Practice, practice, practice...

    Definitely hooked on this one, for a long time (or unlock everything, about the same time). Now I can do 20 seconds easy this game shows that with practice you cab beat anything...

    Also, got a 4.5 stars review from TA frontpage, check it out if you are on the fence with this one

    Awesome game!!!

    App Stat is saying I have over 3 1/2 hours of play time. I'm at 65.51 seconds on hard mode and well on my way to beating the 2nd harder mode! :D

    This game just "works" on the iPhone!!!!

    5stars from me, this is going in my top ten list :D
