HexiHashi

I was longing for some hexual intercourse, but unfortunately [b]hexihashi[/b] failed to provide a climax, or any enjoyment at all, as I learned to my cost. you're probably familiar with the concept: connect islands with a certain number of lines that can't cross each other. this one uses hexagons, but otherwise works exactly like [b]hashi, chopsticks, bridges[/b], or whatever other name people use. it [i]should[/i] work like that anyway, but [b]multiple solutions are available and guessing is involved, neither of which is in the spirit of this puzzle type[/b]. nothing wrong with [b]only randomly generated levels[/b] if the algorhithm works, but here it doesn't. actually, the store page says [i]'pure deduction will normally solve less than 10% of a puzzle'[/i], so their algorithm is shit on purpose. and I could finish the review here, whatever else it offers is irrelevant at this point, but what the hell... [b]controls are unnecessarily cumbersome[/b], as they want you to click and dr...

Nice to see a new spin on the Hashi/Bridges formula. Unfortunately, there are many problems here... Hashi puzzles should only have one unique solution and never require any guess-work. This incarnation breaks both those rules in spades, and has a random problem of crashing where it generates blank puzzles, leaving you only one option: Quit the game. Sadly, this game has already been abandoned by the developer.

Theoretically it's not a bad concept, but... for one, the visual display isn't great. The numbering system is readable up to a point but it becomes waaaay harder to read once you get to 7+. The puzzles aren't designed, but generated, often without regards to unique solutions or, more importantly, deductive logic, making it all devolve into trial and error. And on top of it all, it's glitchy. Some achievements randomly pop for no reason, the game has these long-term modes with "suspend" states.... except, if you reload from suspending, there's just a chance that once you complete the level you suspended on, it straight-up won't load another one and POOF, there goes all your progress in that long-term mode. It's cheap I guess and you're not wasting much money by throwing your money at this but I've seen free online sites that are -way- better at generating endless puzzles of this variety (and many others) that still focus on tighter, more logical puzzle design than this repetitive, trial...

This is a fantastic re-envisioning of the Hashi bridge-connecting puzzle. Instead of limiting you to a square grid with only 4 directions for bridges, HexiHashi allows for more engaging problem solving with its hexagonal grid. As one CGP Grey said, 'Hexagons are the Bestagons,' so I definitely appreciate this novel take on a traditional concept. It's a great game for those that like to challenge their brains with puzzles and is perfect for distracting yourself during boring work calls or between classes. The relaxing instrumental soundtrack is just a cherry on top.

From first impressions, the game is quite good. At a reasonable asking price, you get to skip the common issue of advertisements and in app purchases for a game of this style, but at the trade off of PC based controls. Although optimised for a mouse to be used, the game is still playable using track pad on a laptop, however the experiences do not compare. As for the game play, I appreciate the levelling system being a tool to make sure that you have the appropriate skill for something as opposed to being a massive time waster meant to only show the difference between those with no life and those with one. With only a solid hour of playing, I managed to reach a high enough level as to not have any of the game modes restricted from me. The best recommendation I have for early grinding is to Unlock Time Attack and just get a streak going. At the higher levels, you earn ridiculous experience levels.

A great puzzle game that introduced me to the world of "Hashiwokakero" puzzle games! HexiHashi may look intimidating to those who are unfamiliar with the concept, but after a couple of puzzles, the goal to solving them becomes clear (and a lot of fun)! Positives: - Very clean and visually appealing art-style - Beautiful piano soundtrack - Intuitive Controls - Endless replay value due to puzzles being generated via algorithm Bugs: - There are a couple of bugs at the time of writing, but the developer is very active on the discussion board in regard to fixing them

Fun puzzle to relax and pass the time, not too difficult.

Very fun and interesting concept, nice and cheap too, great for if you want a nice break from working on your computer.

An interesting variation on Hashi, and it has a rather good interface. However, this game came out with some immediately obvious bugs and design issues. First, the moment I started the game, it gave me a bunch of Steam achievements for completing levels. It was also not clear how to start playing. Most games do not start in Free Play, but it instead has to be "earned" by completing other levels. Finally, for anyone that has not played any Hashi at all, this will be a painful experience, as there is no tutorial or ramping up. I have played a bit, and found that it does not scale well, especially given the increasing complexity due to the new mechanic of hexes that it introduces. I understand this game just came out today. It should have been polished some more before release. If they can improve the game, I'll be happy to change my review. But out of the gates, this game is probably not worth even the small cost.
