I Just Played Super Hexagon

As someone who mainly plays point & click adventures and other low-stress games, it takes a lot for a highly skill-based game to rope me in. Super Hexagon is one such game. Like Terry Cavanagh's previous VVVVVV, this game combines a great soundtrack, retro (but unique) graphics, and simple, precise, and unforgiving gameplay.

While I've only beaten "hard" (the easiest setting), and survived a record 30 seconds on "harder" (and I'll probably never get past 5 seconds on the 4 even harder difficulties), it never frustrated me, mainly due to the soundtrack and the "zone" you can get in when you start to see the patterns in the chaos. For a couple bucks, this can't be beat. I look forward to whatever Cavanagh comes up with next.
