Hexvade is a game that actually interested me since I heard it was being developed by Andy Mark who's friends with a few people that I close to, so I figured I'd try to give it a shot eventually. I gave it about 2 hours to take a look into it, see it's pros and cons, and weather I find this game good. (This is all based on experience with Single Player.) Firstly I must say the simple graphic design is sorta of a vein to something like classic or retro games of the Mid 80's, and to boot the difficulty I must say is actually really challenging (Like if you aren't prepaired to be challenged by a game, this game will crush you almost immediately.) This game will be brutal, though there are problems with that. Some of the bosses are much easier than others. The Lizard per example is much harder to beat that The Ninja the first time around. Vice versa and you can switch them around, but recommended to take down the easier bosses first. Some Items in this game you can pick up are better than...

About This Game
Hexvade is a competitive, action-packed combination of the classic falling-block style arcade game and the timeless platformer genre. Fight your friends in this fast-paced and strategic game! And fear not, for the lone wolves out there we have a boss-rush styled singleplayer mode, battling your way through 7 uniquely designed and challenging bosses!
Multiplayer
Multiplayer is the core element of Hexvade, as what is more fun than having your hard work destroyed by a friend, and then getting to smash them in the head with bricks later on?
The concept is simple: one player plays as the Dropper and the other as the Dodger.
- The Dropper must align pieces to create lines in order to make the Dodger vulnerable to hazards.
- The Dodger must sabotage the game board using a plethora of items and abilities, and dodge their way around pieces when the Dropper manages to create a line.
- Game ends if the Dodger is killed or trapped, or if the Dropper fails to clear pieces and they get stacked too high. If the timer runs out, the victory goes to the Dodger for being able to survive the onslaught.
With 8 Dropper and 8 Dodger characters, each with their own passive and active ablities as well as a wide range of items, there's never a dull moment!
Singleplayer
Should you find yourself alone one rainy day and have a hankering for hexagonal-based destruction, there is a singleplayer mode for you try your hand at!
Fight your way through 7 unique and challenging bosses and get awarded points for speed, accuracy, and control!
These points will unlock new characters for Multiplayer, and you also get to brag online that you're 3 frames faster at beating a boss than someone else!
Demo
If you're still unsure if Hexvade is for you, be sure to try out our free demo! It has Local Multiplayer with 2 characters for both the Dropper and the Dodger, as well as 1 singleplayer boss for you to attempt!
Conclusion
A game for both casuals and competitors alike, Hexvade is sure to keep you entertained for hours on end (providing you don't get salty at your friend who's far better than you and rage quit).

Fun, good gameplay, fucking difficult. 10/10 will break my keyboard again. Highly reccomend playing this with an NES controller because you can.
Before you download this game, please be aware that this will be the death of you if you try to finish it. Its a hard game, really hard game. And Im not joking, Ive caused myself a lot of stress and anger trying to complete this (at this point in time I still havent, but Im very close) But for the sake of it, buy it. A lot of effort has been put into this game and it needs more support than what it has right now.
Where do I even begin with this gloriousness? Well... Hexvade is an... action-platformer/puzzle hybrid? The puzzle elements only really come into play in the multiplayer, which I haven't played as of writing this review. The singleplayer is basically a group of 6 bosses. There's definitely 6. They each have their own tricky attack patterns that keep you on your toes, and you only have your jump, a weak pistol, and various powerups that'll show up at random. This makes for a short, challenging, and fun singleplayer experience. The leaderboards will also compel you to go for faster times when it comes to defeating the bosses. Achieving certain tasks in singleplayer will unlock new Dodgers and Droppers(Both are this game's playable character groups.), so you will be rewarded for your efforts. Overall, this game is a fun romp, but it makes me want more. This game is a 9/10 for me. NOW BUY IT, IT'S ONLY 6 US DOLLARS!
