A PICO-8 demake of Terry Cavanagh's Super Hexagon. The source code fits in one tweet (280 characters).

Instructions

Press the left and right arrow keys to move. On-screen buttons are provided for mobile.

If you die, the game will exit. If you are playing on web/mobile, you will have to restart the game with the reset button at the bottom.

(Note that if you press any other PICO-8 button (up, down, X, O) the game will crash. I didn't have room for handling this, sorry. The on-screen mobile controls only display the supported buttons.)
