What players say

Players say Hyper Simon X blends memory sequencing with bullet-hell shooting, but is held back by bugs: using the special attack can cost a life, and an unlocked frame rate causes abnormal speed. Instructions are unclear, and achievements don't appear in the showcase. Opinion splits between those who enjoy the arcade challenge and those who find it confusing or frustrating.
