Anyone can make a game that is brutally tough, but it takes a craftier individual to make one that I won't stop playing even as I fail again and again. I credit the graphics, which spiral and pulse in a way that will make you think you're being hypnotized. I credit the controls—press on the left side of the screen to rotate the triangle one way; press on the right to go the other way—which seem digital but reveal themselves to be deeply analog. I credit the music, the voice-acting. Hell, I credit the whole thing.

This game is worth well more than the 99 cents being charged for it.

If you have an iPhone or iPad, not getting this game would be a grave mistake. Pay the dollar. Get on this bull. See how long you can survive.
