We call that an early Nintendo kind of difficulty.

At some point, you may hit 30 seconds in the easiest difficulty. The game doesn't hand hold at all, if you're going to play, you're going to lose. The first level of difficulty is called hard- that should be your first clue. The game also involves a simple goal - avoid the lighter colored regions. Anyone can pick it up and master the controls in minutes. The cursor (which is a friendly little triangle) is on a fixed path that moves smoothly around the center hexagon - hold the right side, it moves clockwise hold the left side, it moves counterclockwise. A player touches the right or left hand side of the screen to move the cursor around a hexagon. Super Hexagon is exceedingly hard (more on that later), but to understand the game is simple. Please excuse my images, as it's hard to hit the screen capture buttons without promptly losing! The game is amazingly clever in it's simplicity, and every game designer should use it as a reference for some of the finer points of game design.

Super Hexagon is a recently released iOS game that challenges your mind and reflexes in a simple and terribly frustrating way.
