Ever since my 8-year old son beat the game multiple times on level 6, I have been working on getting there as well. The best I have made has been 19 seconds on level 6 - though I have beat the first five levels, level 6 is truly insane.

Watching my son play is quite the experience. It seems my reflexes are not what they once were. It's an amazing game.

I want to think that writing my own bot would count as beating the game, but I doubt my son would say it counts. So, here's to the next few thousand attempts at level 6. "Again!"

I got pretty good at Super Hexagon and can beat all 6 levels, but on their hard mode's I can't get very far on levels 5 & 6.

I think my level 1 record is somewhere near 10 minutes now.

What's this "hard mode" you speak of? As far as I know, there are only 6 levels, the hardest being "hexagonest" in hyper mode, which is the "hardestestest" level. I'm playing it on PC via steam.

I've beaten that but I'm keen for a harder challenge!

I would assume by "hard mode" they meant the last 3 difficulties you unlock by beating the first 3. And the challenge at that point is chasing even higher times and doing leaderboard chasing (though good luck cracking the top 200 at this point, my 250+ is only 317th last I looked).

Considering by the 6 minute mark on level 1 you hit the ultimate difficulty that's pretty crazy.

My best time on that's only 300 some odd seconds, but my best time on level 6 is like 257 because that's basically all I play anymore.

i saw a 6 year old play Temple Run on an iPad and i was amazed! Someone jokingly said that he doesn't trust kids; they pretend not to know how to speak, then they make transactions and build empires on their iPad.
