Hex Reviews

I will update this review to a 5 star one if you get rid of that annoying hint button, it should be in the menu, not dangling there. It is infuriating. Get rid of it. I liked the game infinitely more before you added that stupid dangling lightbulb, at least add an option to move it to the menu, please. For someone with OCD, having this thing constantly flashing there, is absolutely beyond infuriating. The LEAST you could do is make it stop flashing if I am CLEARLY not having trouble completing the puzzle. This addition in a kick to the face for no reason. You gain NOTHING from having it flash there. For the love of god, FIX IT.

Like I said in the other review for loop (original).

How the ads show up are good. Right when you finish a level and you tap the screen to go to the next level. When there's an ad, it plays and then done. Then it brings you back to the same level and THEN you can tap and see the animation to the next level, but for this game the ad skips the animation so when you return to the level it's on the next level and you don't get to see the nice, simple, relaxing animation to the next level.

To me if the devs could put the same ad positioning from loop (original) (where the ad spit doesn't interpreted the animation to the next level) into this game it'd be better.

This is a neat little game that helps users take a mental break when they need one, and very well done with a nice, clean UI. I can think of a couple improvements, however, that would earn Hex a fifth star from me. 1. Currently Hex uses light colors while solving and switches to dark upon completion - I’d like to have the option to switch this, as I think the dark is more visually appealing. Long-term, I’d prefer the dark mode for both pre and post solve, with some other visual effect displayed after solving. 2. When making a purchase to get rid of ads, Hex isn’t forthcoming about what users get with the various purchase levels besides just no ads. 3. While Hex has an annoying habit of crashing on occasion when opening it, I’ve since discovered that if you have airplane mode turned on while playing, this fixes the issue.

I originally found Hex on a website that listed apps for neurodivergent (ADS and ADHD specific) people. It was said to be calming to the mind but kept your attention. This website was SO RIGHT.

Some of the biggest reasons why I love this game:
- The game can be started and stopped at anytime
- No timers or sense of urgency
- It can be played while doing other activities like watching tv, research/studying, eating, listening to an audiobook, etc
- It can be hard but mostly isn’t for those who can solve puzzles easily
- There are enough color contrasts to make it was to play with the screen brightness turned all the way down…but not enough to make it hard on the eyes
- SO MANY LEVELS that I’ll be playing this game for a very long time

I don’t know if the intention of the creators was to appeal to the neurodivergent crowd, but I have to thank them for making this game. It has helped me immensely when I feel anxiety or panic coming on. And it’s a delight to help calm my brain before bed.

10/10 would recommend. And don’t forget to toss the devs a little money to remove the ads. It’s worth it, I promise.

I've played upwards of 15+ relaxation puzzle games and this one is one of my favorites. it's simple, it's abstract, it can be a little challenging sometimes but otherwise it's a great app for those who need something to focus their hands and eyes on while meditating or just calming down in general, on top of that has soft soothing music accompanying the levels. I genuinely really love using this game while trying to wind down for the night.

I've gone through almost all of the simple shape-ie puzzle games on Hex store and all I've found that's gotten my attention is the Red, Blue, Green, etc. puzzle games, and this one! I'm on lvl 141 and I'm so addicted! If you're at all like me, you'll fall in love with the progression of the difficulty. 10/10 puzzle game, and paying for no ads is so worth it🙌

I normally don’t write reviews but Hex deserves it. I have so much anxiety and nothing has worked as well as this app❤️. I just open it when I’m feeling anxious and it’s very relaxing! My only problem is the ads the ads really disturb the peaceful time people are having. Other than there should be no ads it’s truly an amazing app

This is a great game! No gimmicks, no timers, no pay-to-play (although you can pay to the developers, which I recommend doing), and no insane time commitments. You can play for a short level and not feel like you have to do all this other stuff.

If you want a game but don’t want to be glued to your phone all day, this is a great option.

I tend to be picky when it comes to puzzle games but Infinity Loop has long been one of my favorites! It’s a great balance of challenging and relaxing, and I enjoy every level!
It’s also really nice getting to support smaller, passionate creators rather than those who shovel ads down your throat every 2 seconds. I highly recommend this game in all its forms!

Some times when my anxiety is a little high I would randomly open and close apps non stop because my mind couldn’t focus. This game is my go to for my anxiety. It calms me down from those thoughts or those moments. Plus the added vibrations is so calming for me. I’m hard of hearing and having that feel in my hand is the icing on the cake for me.

Hex has relaxing music and simple design. It easy to play. No score or timer. It’s a great way to train you brain to focus on something to think about instead of your worries which is what meditating is as well as mindfulness. You are being present in the moment listening to the music and noticing the shapes you are making. You are training your brain to think about something else because you brain is working to solve the pattern.

Love this game. The fact that levels only take about 3-7 minutes makes it perfect to help fill in those dead minutes when you’re waiting on something else to happen. Or when you just need a little brain break.

also, for anyone knocking off stars on their reviews just because of the ads, it only cost a few dollars to turn off the ads. Are you really that cheap that you can’t spare a few bucks?

I have played the game for so long something about it is just super satisfying the way it all comes together. It dosent require much brain power so it can be used as a stress reliving fidgety game. Overall love the game because super satisfying the way everything comes together, just moving around the pecies make me feel super satisfied. Love the game I totally recommend it. Especially to cool off after a big day like school or work.

This game is one of my go to games when I need to unwind after a crazy day. The game is simple, connect all the pieces. Sounds easy enough. As you progress, the level of difficulty goes up. The soft tranquil music and the fact there isn’t any time limit or move limit makes it a perfect game to play before going to bed at night. If you are looking for a relaxing game without any pressure, this is one you want to download!

I don’t play a lot of mobile games outside of scrabble and merge games, but this one caught my attention. The game runs pretty smooth, and I love the little designs the puzzles create once you finish a level. I downloaded it a few days ago and popped it open while going to pick up pizzas. Didn’t realize I had flown through nearly three dozen levels by the time I’d gotten to Pizza Hut. It’s about a five minute trip, but, man, this game had me. Good game. Would definitely recommend it to others.

This puzzle game is very simple but very fun. There’s no invasive ads that get in the way of enjoying a free game. The puzzles are engaging, some require a lot of though, while others you just breeze through. There’s no real “hurdles” that stop you dead in your tracks and stops your progression. There’s no scoring or anything so it’s just personal achievement which is a nice change of pace to other puzzle games. The sensation of finding the pattern and everything finally clicking together is truly enjoyable.

I don't play these kind of games for a living like some people but if im bored one day and i don't have any games to play, this is the kind of game i want. Its not a no brainer like alot of those popular games and its not too immersive where i have to put all my energy just to complete a level. It just strikes that balance. I would recommend downloading it because for a game this simple, the fact that it hasn’t been made until now is kind of funny, so props to the two developers for making something unique.

This game is awesome! I don’t play many phone games, but I really enjoy how relaxing this one is. It’s nice that you can just do a puzzle without being scored or timed too. Really neat idea.

One suggestion I would make (and I hope this gets fixed) is that the ads at the bottom of the screen make it really hard to see the puzzles because the pieces become too small, especially on the harder ones. If there’s any way to set the game so that the puzzle is still larger even with the ads that would be great. Thank you!!

It’s very entertaining. It’s the perfect amount of challenge, while also being extremely fun! The music is also really relaxing and calming. The ads aren’t bad at all, so it’s nice to know that the devs aren’t too money hungry. It also has an occasional pop up where it asks you to donate money for the devs to get various consumables (coffee, ice cream, sushi, etc) to help support them. I think it’s so adorable. Also the colors in the levels are so nicely put together. Very aesthetic:) To the two devs who make this, you’re doing a great job please keep it up!

I absolutely love this game! I have a hard time with puzzles and get stressed over them easily, but every time I open Hex I always make progress because the developers know how to make a good game.

My only, and I mean ONLY, complaint is that sometimes when I want to tap on one this app piece I tap on another this app piece because I don’t know where the border of the this app piece is. It would be cool if they put some type of highlight thing so I could see the hexagon shape for the piece that you tap on.

The game itself in its current form is still so good. I will probably never uninstall this game from my phone.

Good job developers for making a good game!
:)
