Hexologic 4+

I got this game on a whim, and I absolutely loathe math. Hexologic, though, made my free time disappear and my brain work to solve satisfying puzzles about balance. Every move matters and the little tricks you pick up make the difference in later levels. The wait for more levels is only excruciating because I’m anxious to keep playing. The new hard mode seemed like it was a gimmick, but there’s a deeper level of satisfaction of solving the puzzles without the helpful assist- I even made sure to do the tutorial on hard so I could claim my whole screen as red. 5/5, please play this game and beg for more levels

EDIT: New Levels
It looks like the developer has added more levels! I still think the game could use at least one, probably two more content updates of this size, but the new levels introduce fun mechanics and I’m really glad to see that the developer listened to feedback and added more content. I think I’ll hold off on bumping my review up from four stars to five until the next content update (assuming there will be another). I’m far more likely to recommend this game now that it has more content. It’s pretty fun!

I bought this game expecting it to last me a couple of weeks, but I beat it in a single night (including the “hidden levels”). The time I played it, I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately there wasn’t much to play. The art is pretty and the concept is inventive, and I appreciated how polished the app was, but it desperately needs more levels added. The developer seems to respond to any review complaining about the lack of content by talking about the 15 hidden levels, which seems pretty tone deaf to me. This response concerns me because it makes me wonder if the developer ever plans to add more levels at all. I would tentatively recommend purchasing this app to people who are prepared for it to end quickly or if the developer does indeed plan to add more levels. What content the app does have is polished and awesome.

If you enjoy logic puzzles like I do, this is absolutely worth it. It teaches you how to play effortlessly and then challenges you to look closely. If you take your time in each level you can work out a path to completion without any frustration. Eventually you have to do some guessing which is all part of the fun as you discover your hunch was correct. There are 60 levels and I blew through them in a couple of days, but I loved every second and for a dollar I consider that fair. Definitely interested in more content!
