While not quite as fast paced or dizzying as Super Hexagon, Radial Runner is a musically charged dodge-'em-that will definitely test your persistence.

You control a yellow rectangle that starts at the centre of the circular playing field. Red, green, and blue rectangles will then enter from all sides and head towards the centre.

Your job is to dodge the red rectangles, collect the blue ones to increase your score, and snag three green ones to move on to the next wave.

Every time you collect a green rectangle, your yellow one will move closer to the edge of the screen. This gives you less time to react to the falling shapes, making the game harder.

All you have to do, then, is move the rectangle left and right by tapping the corresponding sides of the screen.

It's easy to start off with, sure. But as the waves of rectangles get faster with each successive wave, your reflexes, perception, and endurance will be sorely tested.

The satisfying retro arcade sounds and beat-driven music are certain to keep your spirits high during your gauntlet run, mind. Yes, even in the face of inevitable defeat.

If you've got some spare change, Radial Runner is available on the App Store now for £1.49 / $1.99.
