Hexhyve

Hexhyve is a neat and creative little puzzle game that features a very simple concept. It’s all about matching hexagonal tiles on a grid, but it’s just the concept that’s simple, the game itself is the good kind of tough.

Hexhyve features a very simple design that suits the purpose of the game perfectly. In it you have to match a number of hexagonal shapes on a grid by making sure that each tile touches the exact number tiles it has written in it.

For example, a tile with 3 on it has to be adjacent to three others that can have different numbers. A 2 needs two other tiles next to it and so on. However, although the game is basic in concept the gameplay gets complicated fast because each level will have a mixture of differently numbered tiles and the grid is never perfect.

Hexhyve provides 150 levels that will mess with your patience and observation skills. There will be several times when you will feel like the level you’re on doesn’t have a solution, although that is not the case. What you can do is restart the level to get the same tiles but a different grid on which to play.

That means two things. First off, Hexhyve has a high replay value because you will rarely feel like you’re playing the same levels and secondly, it proves that the puzzles have more than one solution. Which again, is something really nice.

To sum things up, Hexhyve is an excellent little puzzle game that’s just right for when you have some time to kill or you want to mash your mind a bit with some complicated stuff. Even from a visual point of view, Hexhyve looks nice with its minimalistic design and the intuitive gameplay makes it almost addictive.
