all you do in [b]hexa[/b] is rotate hexagons so the shapes coming out of one side of a hex can reach the end located on the side of another hex. colors matter, so if a circle enters a hexagon on the yellow side, it will leave wherever the other yellow side is. there are also converters between shapes, as well as splitters and switches that unlock blocked sides. at the time of writing there are [b]33 levels[/b], more than double than at release. they're not particularly difficult, [b]no timer or move limit[/b], the game should take about 2 hours, but a [b]level editor[/b] and [b]random levels[/b] are available. the workshop is currently empty, but the generator should provide enough entertainment, bigger levels can get really complex and you can customize various things, which is a nice touch. the presentation is minimalistic. the graphics do their job, though [b]some colors are hard to distinguish[/b] on a few levels. as for the audio, there's [b]only a clicking sound, no music[/b], ...

It's a neat little puzzle game with a fairly solid concept, but lacks challenging levels. You can breeze through the 30 pre-built levels in about half an hour. I consider this more of a tutorial, while the random/workshop levels provide long-term entertainment. The developers have addressed various issues shortly after my review (which is really amazing), so I'm revising some points: [strike]The random levels suffer from a complete lack of control regarding the difficulty; you can end up with a trivial one that has 8 tiles or one that fills the entire screen. In fact they can even [i]exceed[/i] the screen, which I initially considered as a bug, but, as I later found, you can actually (sloooowly) move the camera via WASD. This is never communicated to the player, and I only stumbled on it when looking through the launcher settings.[/strike] In general I considered few levels to be challenging. A lot of them were (almost) solved by accident, after rotating the hexes out of senseless ...
- No VSync which results in hundreds or even thousands of useless FPS. -No dark mode. -A few levels. -Profile Features Limited.
Short but fun minimalist puzzler. Also has random levels and workshop support for those who are into that sort of thing. Runs great on Linux.
Nope. Bland (no, pair-matching is not unique), unpolished, with too little hand-crafted content and an irritating random level generator. Level editor and workshop support are supposed to compensate, but a community needs to be built to use them, and that... didn't happen here.
Hexa is a easy to learn puzzle game with a unique concept. Use the different hex side types to get the beams to their destination. Good game Also you can get one more game with 100% achivements
Simple but engaging little puzzle game. Would recommend to any puzzle game players.

10 out of 10 game. Worth the money. Has Workshop support, goes up there with those old mirror game things and Portal 2.
It's good and fun.
