So Hexteria. As a Linux-player: It runs smoothly. It is an abstract puzzle game. It makes you think in different and new ways, like a puzzle game should. I haven't figured out the logic quite yet, but I managed to beat the first 2/6 levels. Good to know: You don't have to beat all the achievements at once. I am wondering whether it is possible to get all the achievements without using powerups and at the same time. Recommended for people who enjoy abstract/mathematical puzzle games.

About the Game
Hexteria is a casual but challenging Turn-Based Strategy and Puzzle game. The concept is simple: each turn you rotate one hexagonal tile on the board to take over your opponents' tiles.- Online and Offline Multiplayer for up to 6 players
- Single Player Campaign with 42 levels
- Use the Level Editor to create, share and play your own levels
- AI controlled players with 4 difficulty levels
- Unique challenges which will grant you 5 different powerups!
The game can be played with 2 to 6 players, with players joining online, offline or with bots as a substitute. Each player is controlling a single color of tiles on the board. Every turn, the player is allowed to rotate one tile of the color that they control clockwise.
If the tile now points at an opponent's tile or an empty tile, that tile will change color and spread that color to all the tiles connected to it.
In the end, your goal is to make sure no other player has any more tiles of their color on the board!
Besides the regular tiles, the game features 8 special tile types:
- The Double Tile: points in both directions
- The Counterclockwise Tile: rotates counterclockwise
- The Tunnel Tile: can only be taken over from two ends
- The Suction Tile: assumes the color of the tile it points at
- The Flip Tile: flips when it changes color
- The Freeze Tile: freezes for a turn
- The Fire Tile: burns after the turn it was taken over
- The Bomb Tile: explodes after changing color twice

This game is very intuitive yet so very challenging at the same time, which makes it addicting and so so much fun! I love games likes these where often you'll think you've nearly won, only to then lose so many tiles at once that it feels like the round has started all over again, keeping every player on their toes. Or maybe I just need a better strategy... Highly recommend!
It's a great game! It's fun, challenging and it has many options to play and create different levels. It looks simple, just turn the tiles, but you really have to think ahead and make good choices, it's very clever! It's fun to play with friends, and very addicting if you just play by yourself. Amazing game, I would really recommend it!
Nice strategic game, nice design with the different worlds. Extra challenging due to the challenges. Very addictive.. It would be nice if there was a mobile app, I would definitly play this on my tablet or phone.
I like how simple to understand yet how hard to master this game is. Especially if you want to unlock all available achievements, be prepared to press 'Retry' several times to test different strategies. The special tiles later in the game add a challenging extra dimension to the gameplay. All in all it's an interesting and nice game that will keep you playing for hours. Recommended!
Great game, great concept, highly recommend it. The contrast between the simple design and the complex and intricate mechanics makes you want to delve into the game to try and really understand all the different strategies. I have a feeling that I am going to be obsessed with it for a while.
Hexteria is a real brain teaser :-) You get hooked on it, but that's just fun. Tonight I tried to finish the Campaign's Starters Shore. At first I didn't understand it well, because I thought I had to achieve all three goals at the same time. But fortunately, I don't have to, the game keeps track of which goals have been achieved and strikes them through, so I know exactly what goal(s) I still need to achieve and which one(s) are already are 'done'. I soon had played for more than an hour... I also like to play it the coming days against a non-computer competitor. I've already looked at what I need to do to play against someone else. Now I just need to find a colleague who dares to take up the fight :-) Oh, and BTW, tomorrow I want to figure out how I can exchange my coins for Powerups and how to create my own levels. All in all a really fun game and I'm already looking forward to playing the next worlds!
Really nice strategy game : easy to understand, hard to master. The campaign is well thought and teaches you the mechanics of the game. Completing all the goals and challenges can entertain you for hours. You can also play with friends, bots and even a twitch chat ! There's also an intuitive built-in level editor ! TLDR; game is nice
Brain not big enough for this >:(
