Hextones Reviews

This is a beautiful games. Great theme and general game play. Relaxing music and vibe. One can enjoy it super casually or work your way up the leader board. Worth every penny and beyond.

Great game, it can be quite challenging and it is relaxing at the same time. You can learn more of the game in each match and it feels satisfying to play another round with some strategy in mind, without knowing what's to come and try do adapt to it. I can see a good mobile game here as well, to play wherever you like.

Futuristic Puzzle for a Good Price! This is similar to previous square grid "tile placing" games we've played, but this time it's hexagons, and the scoring is a little different. The music and visuals seem relaxing, just don't get worried as you're running out of space to place tiles! (It would be cool to have more various play modes, including one that lets you remove some tokens from the board so you can play longer! Also, it's nice to have multiple backgrounds and tile sets available, if possible.)

Very enjoyable game, easy to learn but not so simple to master, each time you play you get more and more insights to keep going on higher scores!

Great board game with simple rules, yet very challenging. Incredibly polished with amazing graphics and an immersive soundtrack. Makes you want to play once more to beat your previous score. Well done, devs.

Kind of fun, though I did lose interest in under an hour. The core concept is a hex map, and pieces that have two characteristics, one of five symbols and one of five colors. To place a tile it must match all adjacent tiles in at least one of the two characteristics. Easy at first, as you only have to match one side, but as the maps fill up, the options get fewer. Careful play maximized the options. This is combined with a scoring system that values making matches of various sides, two, three, etc. If you complete a set, scoring goes up. The game suggests that the best scores come from using all of the pieces. Honestly I got all the pieces on my third play thru, and got a higher score striving to make the match-sets and increasing the scoring potential. I could see how this could be really fun for some people, I feel like I've wrung all I am going to get out of it in five plays though. Still, for what I paid, a good deal.

Mentally stimulating yet relaxing game. It's good! I was looking for a replacement for Ishido which I can no longer find for PC. Hextones retains the stone placing challenge that I love in Ishido but expands it. Each stone in Hextones has six instead of four sides. Learning new strategies after years of playing Ishido with only four sided stones is surprisingly fun. Hextones also has incremental challenges where you must get 6 sided, 5 sided, 4 sided, 3 sided and 2 sided correct placements to pass to the next tier. This is more difficult than just accumulating points. The music is hypnotically good. Well worth the price.

Game play is kind of fun for an hour, but there is no sense of progression other than trying to improve your own score. This is a polished and good looking little puzzler and even the the price is okay, but I would have preferred actual levels instead of perpetually replaying the same field.

Very fun game. First of all: [b] The amount of value you get for the price that is being asked is beyond great. [/b] In regards to mechanics and game design: Very solid and engaging, This is my first time playing such puzzles, so I can be a little biased, but from what is being offered here, it's a very fun challenge that right off the bat I've spent a little more than 3 hours straight playing it. The artstyle and animations are satisfying (especially when you end a round). A little rough around the edges when we talk about the UI, but nothing that bothers me too much, it seems to be a mobile game as well. There is no tutorial to the game, only a guide through a series of slides in text and image, they work, but fall flat a little bit, might turn off some people at first. In conclusion: I really recommend this one for it's price and great value, if someone asks me to recommend a puzzle game, I'm gonna be recommending Hextones :)

Hextones is a very cool matchup game. It is easy to start, but there is a deep strategy to get to the top of the Leaderboard. The space theme is awesome. The colors, design and artwork are fantastic. Gameplay is smooth and polished- a lot of work and optimization went into this simple title. It is easy to see where you are placing the tiles, but I would still like to see a traditional mouse pointer in there. With casual games like this, I would also like to see basic instructions and strategy guide. But for .99 USD, you can't go wrong! Highly recommend!!
