Sex sells, but what about Hex Cells?
Sex sells, but what about Hex Cells?
I'm making a thread about this game because it is easily looked over, and shouldn't be. The unassuming graphics of simple hexagons and numbers could easily lead one to think nothing of the game based on screenshots alone, but I would highly urge you to play this game. To date, there is Hexcells, Hexcells Plus, and the recently released Hexcells Infinite. While I've only played through the first title, the others are largely just additions of new puzzles, except for Infinite, which also can procedurally generate a seemingly endless amount of new puzzles (thus the title).
This game is a bit like Minesweeper, but if you're smart enough, you can solve the puzzles without any trial and error guessing. There are also more Sudoku style rules to the logic of the puzzles than what is found in Minesweeper. And though Minesweeper and Sudoku are the most obvious analogies, I don't actually like those games, but I love Hexcells. There's a beautiful ambiance to puzzle solving created by a lovely soundtrack, and musical notes that drop when you click on puzzle pieces. And the puzzles have a right answer that is challenging to find, but highly rewarding. Don't let this game go unnoticed.

Assuming this game is for iOS, whilst hoping it's a new homebrew NES game.

Minesweeper? Sudoku? I like those games. I don't have Steam though.

You can download the DRM-Free version via the developer:

No Steam required, and it should run on almost any computer because the graphics aren't demanding at all.

This game is pretty addictive.
I suck at it but my girlfriend waltzed in and did most of the difficult stuff first time. I don't have a maths brain.
