    Hexlikes are games inspired by Super Hexagon. I would define them as:

    - Simple concept
    - Controls are usually just left/right buttons
    - Core mechanic involves rotating
    - Twitchy
    - Very difficult
    - Endless
    - Simple execution (usually no powerups, upgrades, 3 mission system, etc.)


    Some examples:

    Super Hexagon
    Boson X
    Duet
    Pivvot
    Project 88

    Impossible Road and Expander don't meet all the criteria but I've seen them compared to SupHex anyway.

    What are some others?

    I know it doesnt really count here, but I would like to mention Polara for meeting most of the requirements, missing only "Core mechanic involves rotating" as this is more a runner than the rotating types.

    Reason why i wanted to mention Polara as well, is that some of the games are basically pseudo-2D runners as well, like Duet and Pivvot.
