### 4/5 — Игра хорошая

*2021-01-31, version 1.5*

Приятный интерфейс, простая механика. Но всего 6 уровней сложности, которые никак между собой не отличаются. Либо уж надо сделать много уровней (50), либо не делать разделения на уровни вовсе. Как крестики-нолики. Нажал "играть" и всё. Ни уровней, ни сложности. Просто игра. Было бы здорово добавить режим для двоих, чтобы играть друг против друга, а не только с AI.

### 3/5 — Only 6 levels

*2020-12-18*

Beat this in 5 minutes. The work put in was likely worth $.99, but not the end product.

### 4/5 — Not enough levels

*2020-11-08*

I like the way this is programmed and I like the way the game plays. However (1) there needs to be more difficulty levels and (2) there needs to be a way to have the player go first and the computer goes second and (3) you need to be able to play against another human, if there are two of you.

### 3/5 — More

*2019-10-18*

There are 6 levels what the heck

### 4/5 — Fun but finishes quickly

*2019-04-03, version 1.4*

Interesting game but due to its nature really hard to scale. I can see that as I'm in process of making my own ios game 😀

### 1/5 — Nervig

*2022-11-14*

Die KI ist eine Betrüger hab es geschafft aber hab verloren..

### 1/5 — What a poor game with only 6 levels

*2022-04-06*

I was done in 5 minutes 
What is this for a poor game 
You don’t have more time for more ?

### 1/5 — Pas de possibilité de jouer a deux

*2020-12-21, version 1.5*

Principe intéressant mais l IA est trop lauvaise

### 1/5 — Only 6 levels

*2020-07-15*

No local multiplayer, you can’t even keep replaying the last level without getting the same “no more levels sorry” over and over again.

### 2/5 — Way too short

*2022-12-25*

Cool concept but the game only has 6 levels and no other features. It’s beatable in 4 minutes. I wouldn’t recommend spending money on this game in its current state. Maybe if a multiplayer mode was added, it would be worth it.

### 2/5 — Severely limited

*2020-12-28*

I got this because it seems to be the only iOS version of the Game of Hex that lets you play against the computer. However, you're restricted to a 6x6 board size.  Furthermore, it only lets you play Blue, which gives the computer (Red) player a distinct advantage.  

Even with that advantage, however, the computer is easily beaten even at level 6. I'm not the strongest player, and there were several moments when I could see that the computer had a path to victory -- a chain of two-bridges, meaning that at each point, no matter what move I made, the computer would have been able to counter-move and continue completing the chain. Were I playing a human, I would have resigned, but I kept playing, and won -- the AI wasn't strong enough to recognize this very simple path to victory.

Competent AI Hex players have been around for decades, and there is a wealth of published papers on computer Hex-playing algorithms, so it should not be hard to improve the game AI. For a paid game (even at $0.99) I expected better.

### 2/5 — Too short !

*2020-11-07, version 1.5*

Only 6 levels ?

### 2/5 — Weak AI and clunky UI

*2020-07-21*

Can't return to the start menu from the game. The AI on the hardest level is disappointingly easy. Hex has been solved for boards this small, so it could be so much more challenging. All in all, not worth a dollar. Two stars instead of one because the visuals are nice and I like Hex.

### 2/5 — Too easy. Only has 6 levels

*2018-11-11*

You’ll be done with this app in 5 minutes

### 3/5 — It’s a demo

*2022-04-11*

Has only six quick levels and then tells you you’ve reached the end. You can redo level 6 if you wait for the dialog box to go away. Every now and again it crashes. That makes a simple fun concept unnecessarily annoying.

### 5/5 — Захватывает!

*2022-02-03, version 1.5*

Отличная реализация минималистичной стратегии под названием крестики/нолики!

### 5/5 — Hi

Naprawdę extra :)

### 5/5 — super gra

*2018-01-18, version 1.1*

polecam👌

### 4/5 — Easy AI But Still Fun!

*2026-03-23*

The AI was pretty easy to beat but I did lose a couple of times on the way to completing level 6.  Needs more levels and stronger AI.  Good app for someone new to the game of Hex!

### 4/5 — Good but

*2022-08-24*

Good but but after 6 levels it say thanks for playing 
BORINGLY GOOD

### 4/5 — Quick and fun!

*2021-06-28*

Would like to be able to go first

### 4/5 — Love it! Make More Levels!

*2021-04-26*

It’s an amazing game, BUT, it only goes to level 6. I would keep playing it but there is no goal because it ENDS at LEVEL 6! MAKE MORE LEVELS AND THIS GAME WILL ROCK! There’s no ads, there’s “no in app purchases”👍I would play this game for hours if there was a way to climb the leaderboard and go up as high as possible. More levels🙏
