The game often loses track of your progress, I’ve had to redo entire worlds because it won’t save my progress when I switch apps. It also spams you with repeated Game Center notifications, almost continually while your playing the game. Finally the other issue is that when the app is closed and launched fresh, it will make you click through all of your skins. ### 3/5 — This app got worse *2021-03-29, version 5.1.4* I played this when it first came out. I made it through all 80+ levels pretty quick and I had fun doing it. I was pretty excited to see this update. Problem: the touch interaction is off. I tap left - it goes right. I tap right - it goes left. Since I played the 88 levels before this update, I’m confident I understand gameplay. There is something clearly wrong. I’m playing on a brand new iPhone 12. Hardware is not the issue. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Great game, a few minor bugs... *2021-02-19, version 5.1.4* Love the game! I think I have had it for about a week and already on level 48! The bonus world's are challenging which is great too. I'd give it 4/5 stars if a few bugs could be addressed. 1. If for any reason your phone is idle after you have just completed a level. When you play the next level you lose your progress. I end up needing to leave and restart the app entirely and then replay the last completed level to regain access to the next. It's weird and a bit deterring. 2. The apple game notifications go off constantly, even though they are sometimes incorrect. I'd love the option to turn off these alerts as they aren't seeming to add value to the experience, but are distracting. 3. When I re-opening the app, I need to click through a ton of times for new skins that I may have unlocked, many of which I feel like I've unlocked before. Ex. I get alerted to click through and accept new skins unlocked for logging in 1, 2, & 3 days in a row on day 4. As if it were showing them all to me for the 1st time, every time. Overall, the game is great. Would def give a higher rating if not for these few constant bugs. ### 3/5 — Decent idea with a lot of small bugs. *2021-02-08, version 5.1.4* I would enjoy this game but every time I open it my progress has been deleted by some or all. Not very fun to have to replay the first few levels over and over. Sometimes won’t let me select levels. Every time I open the app I have to hit “continue” through all of my previous unlocks even though it’s restarted my progress anyways. Just a lot of small weird bugs that definitely lessen the enjoyment of this game. ### 3/5 — Extremely buggy for me *2021-02-01, version 5.1.4* The second I started playing I was hooked. It’s a fantastic concept, and wonderful game. However. I keep getting achievements I’ve already gotten pop up during each lvl. When I earn a new skin, the window pops up informing me of my new skin as well as all prior unlocks as if I got them all at once. This happens every time. After I won lvl 27 it stopped allowing me to progress. I’m a perfectionist with games like these and I didn’t move on till I got all three orbs. So I began doing the bonus levels. And perfecting those in hopes it might allow me to progress. I haven’t done them all because they are insanely hard (thank you for the challenge lol). I instead closed the app thinking it was an issue with the game itself. When I opened it back up... I WAS PUT INTO TUTORIAL! and my file was gone! I immediately closed the app and opened again, and my file returned along with a new file. When I went into my file, the hexagon background texture was no more. Just the colors and the faint haze at the top has covered the whole background. Please help! ### 3/5 — This game is really fun but THE BUGS *2021-01-31, version 5.1.4* Ok so let’s say you unlocked area 2 every other lvl you complete after that will always play the unlocked lvl 2 animation of the key falling off even though you completed it. Also it constantly keeps replaying the Game Center notifications every time you complete a lvl. So let’s say you started and got the achievement we’re you die 5 times, well then every time you complete a lvl that notification reappears over and over and over again along with any other achievements you got from that game. Besides these bugs it’s really fun and I would rate it 5. Please fix this issue 👍🏻 ### 2/5 — Critical Bugs *2021-01-26, version 5.1.4* Most of the time, your progress isn’t saved, and you often lose stars and have to redo multiple levels. Also, every time you go back to the level screen, it shows that you just unlocked the world you’re on, even if you unlocked it awhile ago. And every time you log in, all previously unlocked skins pop up like you just unlocked them. This game is great, but these bugs make it unplayable and not fun. If these are fixed, I would start playing again. ### 4/5 — Fun but SO buggy *2020-12-30, version 5.1.4* If you were to never ever close this app and play it all the way through to completion - it’s brilliant. BUT if you so much as flick out of the app for 2 seconds to answer a message your progress data gets totally messed up. You’ll be on level 55, answer a text, come back to the game and: have to click through every unlocked skin again, get a notification for every game center achievement again, and you’ll have been kicked back 20 levels. Huge and infuriating flaw in what could be a great game. I’ve just been kicked back from 55 to 31, after having last been kicked back from 44 to 27 and have decided to give up. ### 4/5 — Awesome game, so much potential *2020-12-29, version 5.1.4* This is a beautiful, fun and addictive game. But the bugs are almost too much. I got well past level 95, but when I closed the game and came back to it, it didn’t save my progress and I had to start at level 80 again. Which is very, very aggravating. I also don’t like how you have to go through all the skins every time you open the game back up. These are big problems for me, but that’s how good this game is.. I keep playing it anyways. I really hope they find a way to fix these issues so it gives the full 5 stars it deserves ### 4/5 — Love this game! But *2020-12-22, version 5.1.4* I love this game! I’m totally addicted. However, there is a glitch. It sometimes saves my progress, and sometimes doesn’t. I’m well past level 100, but when I sign in, it either brings me to level 18 or level 66. I figured out of you enable/disable the color filters on your iPhone in accessibility (random, I know) it sometimes kicks the game into remembering your real progress, and it will open all the levels I’ve completed already. Sometimes it doesn’t work. Otherwise I love it!!!! ### 3/5 — Fun game; not-so-fun bugginess *2020-12-21, version 5.1.4* Really enjoying this one. Fast, flashy, forces you think on your toes. However, there are lots of bugs throughout. For example, upon leaving and re-entering the app, it will lose track of levels you’ve completed. Also, achievements you’ve completed will keep showing notification pop-ups over and over and over; it will do the same thing with tiles yours you’ve unlocked, showing them every time you get into the game. In short: a lot of potential, but really needs some more play-through testing. ### 2/5 — Too many bugs!!! *2020-12-10, version 5.1.4* Game is super fun and addicting. But there are so many bugs! First, I keep getting notifications about unlocking skins, each time I open the app, toggle between this app and others; I am forced to acknowledge each skin I have ever unlocked. The most frustrating bug however is when you close the app... your game progress gets set back by a few levels. And if that wasn’t annoying enough, the last level that is unlocked is a level you’ve already beaten, so you have to beat that again just to move onto the next level that you also have already beaten. Fix these bugs soon or I will be deleting the app. ### 4/5 — Great Game hindered by a few bugs *2020-12-09, version 5.1.4* I’ve been really enjoying my time with this game. It’s exactly what I wanted from Apple Arcade, mobile games without the drawbacks that so many mobile games suffer from. However, there have been some bugs that I’ve experienced while playing. First, your progress doesn’t save well as if you exit you lose access to any levels you haven’t completed, meaning you have to redo levels constantly. Also, achievements don’t seem to save as I keep getting pop ups for achievements I’ve already achieved (this might be a problem with GameCenter not the developers). With a couple changes this could be a mobile masterpiece. If the devs see this please fix. ### 4/5 — A lot of fun, but a few bugs *2020-12-06, version 5.1.4* I’m enjoying this game immensely. Tons of fun. A couple of bugs though that are a little bit annoying: the game does not reliably save the latest state. Occasionally it sets me back several levels. The other a bit annoying bug is that Game Center notifications of achievements are popping up nonstop, repeating old achievements that I unlocked earlier in the game. ### 3/5 — I want to like this but the bugs... *2020-11-27, version 5.1.4* I really want to like this game. The gameplay is fluid and it looks great. It’s great for picking up to play casually for a few minutes at a stretch. But there are some ugly bugs here. Achievements keep repeating themselves. Progress isn’t properly saving between sessions. I was on level 19 and knocked out 6 or 7 levels. Took a half hour break and came back to the game and was back at level 19. It repeatedly tells me I’ve earned things that I earned previously. If these bugs can get fixed, I’d be inclined to give a higher rating. Until then, I can’t. ### 2/5 — I love the game but it shows a la I of any real QA *2020-11-22, version 5.1.4* The first time I played I was hooked, the second time I was annoyed because it only saved about half my progress and cycled through every award I’d won so far. Then the next time I play it still hadn’t saved all my previous progress and it also would have me complete all the daily missions o ET and over for zero money . Finally I deleted the game when I realized it was never saving my progress after level 12! How did this even get released? It shows amazing design talent but zero coding talent and no real QA! ### 4/5 — Great game but needs bug fixing *2020-11-12, version 5.1.4* I love the concept of the game. To the developer, there are some bugs that need to be fixed. Every time I enter the game it prompts me to select all the skins I have ever unlocked. Also, some of the bonus levels keep deleting my progress and showing that I have not completed them when I actually have. Finally the last big glitch I’ve been experiencing is that previously earned Game center achievements keep popping up non stop. ### 4/5 — Love this game except one thing... *2020-11-04, version 5.1.4* Love playing this game! Graphics are superb and haptic feedback is among the best on the App Store to make for an excellent game! The only thing that bothers me is the game does not consistently save where I left off. For example after beating level 27 in the morning and coming back to play it later on in the evening I have to go back and re play level 26 and then 27 again. It’s a little annoying so I hope the developers fix the saving feature to be more reliable. Otherwise I highly recommend! ### 3/5 — Almost great *2020-11-03, version 5.1.4* Love the game except I wish when u pressed continue he after the levels, it would just move onto the next level instead of sending me to level screen and then I have to scroll ahead to next level every time 🙄 Also I made it to level 25 and then when it send me back to the level menu it didn’t unlock 26 so I had to do it again and the for some reason it set me back to level 22 Also after every level it has to remind me of all the skins I’ve unlocked. Game Center also feels like the need to remind of all the achievements when I start and finish every level. I’m also on level 25 and it used to tell me I got the achievement Flip Floppin’ (complete 15 levels) and now somehow I have unachieved it cuz it’s locked now Update: ITS THE NEXT DAY AND OMG I WAS ON LEVEL 35 AND ITS SET ME BACK TO 22 I CANT TAKE ALL THESE BUGS IM DELETING IT I’m kinda sad to delete it cuz I found the graphics VERY enticing. I LOVE the blurry/watery animation when u flip the hexagon. I’m gonna miss it. Maybe in the future I’ll download it again when they’ve fixed it but I really just can’t right now. It’s so annoying to play ### 4/5 — Great but Broke a few things on update *2020-11-03, version 5.1.4* Great little time waster that you can pick up and put down quickly. My only complaints are related to the recent update that changed achievements and added profiles. 1. Sometimes if you multitask away, when you come back, you’ve been moved to the other profile. 2. The achievement notifications never stop, and they just keep repeating. Do I need to leave the game open for an hour to just clear a backlog? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t download this, because it’s a good game...? *2021-02-09, version 5.1.4* If this was a so-so game, I’d give it two, maybe even three stars. But it’s a fun, engaging casual game. So how could that make it get just one star? Because it makes the bugs so frustrating that it’s worse than never having downloaded it in the first place, so I wouldn’t have any idea what I’m missing. The bugs are in progress recording. I’ve never been able to resume a game without losing progress. Not once. The resumed game state is weird—like, it’ll show you’ve completed level 15 and 16, but not 11 and 12. And every time you resume it makes you tap through every single reward from the prior play, again. So I give up, delete the profile and start a new one from the tutorial and play longer in one sitting, but then I have to switch to another app. Too bad—progress bugs are back. I really, really wish I had never downloaded this—its sadistic to dangle such a fun game, and make it near-totally but randomly un-re-playable. ### 1/5 — Used to be a really fun game *2021-02-04, version 5.1.4* This game used to be super fun, but now it randomly switches between different saves, locking me out of all my recent progress. Another issue is if I complete a level and unlock a new one, the next time I open the app all my progress is gone. I have to achieve 3 globes for it to save. Please please fix this bug. This game is no longer fun, because I know all progress won’t save. AND when I tried to delete the extra profiles, it deleted one and duplicated the other, and deleted my profile picture. I want my game center progress back please. Feb 4 - I wrote this over 5 months ago, and they still haven’t fixed it. I just went back. Still a few issues 1 - Every single profile has something on it, and I can’t delete them. 2 - I can’t find my game center progress 3 - The profiles are duplicating! This was my favorite game. Now it’s just an app taking up space. ### 1/5 — Too buggy to be fun *2020-11-25, version 5.1.4* Initially entertaining. Has the typical Game Center achievements bug where it keeps telling you that you earned the same achievements every time you start the game. Can’t keep any levels past 12 unlocked between game sessions. I completed level 14, then took a break. Came back a few hours later, game had to start fresh (not resume), and 13 & 14 were re-locked, but 12 showed that I’d completed it with all 3 gems or whatever. So, I completed 12 again (and got “Training Levels Completed” and “10 Levels Completed” achievements), which unlocked 13, then on completion unlocked 14, and so on. Got all the way to completing World 2 and had to stop playing. Just fired up the game again (fresh start, not resume), and I’m back to 13 & up being locked. Completed level 12 again, AGAIN got the achievements for “Training Levels Completed” and “10 Levels Completed”. Like every other Apple Arcade game I’ve played, it’s all flash and either no substance or too buggy. Hey, Apple, stop forcing devs to make “pretty” games and maybe they’ll actually make _good_ games. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save game progress *2020-11-22, version 5.1.4* Every time I open the game it starts me back at level 13. Also supporting swipe direction would be awesome, naturally I swipe sometimes, and it’s on the wrong side of the screen so it goes the wrong direction. Would make single hand play much better. EDIT: Please fix this game. It has so much potential. Every time I finish a level it doesn’t open the next level, sometimes when the level does open it, it won’t recognize the tap to open it. If I close and reopen the app the level will be closed again. I have had to play every level 5-10 times because it never saves my progress. It’ll show that a new world has opened up even though I’m 2 worlds ahead. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — 9/18 update killed the game, 11/17 Update *2020-11-18, version 5.1.4* This shows why Arcade is a bad deal. They allow incompetent developers to have completely broken games for over 2 months now. Their “curation” just means they won’t accept games that aren’t “artsy experiences” (seriously, around 80% of Arcade releases are now one and done “experiences”), but once your game is on the service they obviously do absolutely zero oversight and curation. This game has single handedly convinced me to drop Arcade. “Improvements and fixes”, let’s count: 1. Apple Arcade logo now always plays sounds, even muted 2. Have to choose a profile every time 3. Options cannot be saved (changes back to whatever you choose before this update after you exit screen) 4. And the worst, Game Center notifications go infinite as soon as you die or complete a stage. They literally never stop. THEY NEVER STOP. All of these amazing improvements just to get a really well thought out survival mode (that, by the way, doesn’t even save your progress). Oh, it took you 30+ tries for each level of world 8 & 9? Great, now do them all together without dying once. **Developer response:** I will look into these issues, thanks for reporting ### 1/5 — Update Lost All My Progress *2020-09-23, version 5.1.4* I had completed all 148 levels and had all 3 orbs from each level and was currently working through the bonus levels. After the update all my progress was gone and I have to start over from the beginning. Deleted the app and redownloaded it but my progress is gone. Very frustrating! Follow up: So I decided I love this game so I’ll start over. Flew through several levels BUT when I stopped and came back later I again had to start all over as my progress was not saved. Yes I’m logged in to Game Center. So I guess I’m done playing unless there is an update to fix this update. ### 2/5 — Worthless levels *2022-09-04, version 5.2.8* The levels don’t have any meaning, and there is no world X (10) yet. That is disappointing. What is more is that once you finish all the levels there is no more to play. Bonus levels are weird and too hard, as well as golden orbs, which should be currency of some sort. Survival mode is one thing, but it has 2 problems. First of all, it is just a stupid replay of all the levels. Second of all, once you crash you start from the same level again but the name is the first level, so you are going to be playing the same level twice or thrice. One more bug will be mentioned in this review. If you go in a previous world, or into the next world a bug will occur. For example, take level 4, which is in world 1, and play it while you are in the world 2 zone, level 4 will appear to be in world 2. It is interesting because that means you get to try out different levels in different worlds, but it is still a bug and should be fixed. ### 2/5 — Fun gameplay but super buggy *2021-02-16, version 5.1.4* I'm really liking the gameplay but, but for me there are some major bugs. Just know I played through about ten levels an unlocked world 5. I closed the app to look and something else. When I came back all of todays progress was lost. This happens all the time. I’ve unlocked world 4 at least 4 times. Skin purchases never stick. The next day my coins are back and the skins I unlocked the day before are gone. Sometimes, a level goes back to being locked even when I have later level unlocked. My guess is that the app hits a backend api to save state and that api is failing 95% of the time. I’ve trying it both on wifi and my data plan to make sure it wasn't my network that was blocking the traffic. These are all fixable stability issues. Until those are fixed, this game is unplayable. ### 2/5 — Awesome game tons of annoying bugs *2021-02-03, version 5.1.4* The game is super fun but the bugs are getting annoying. With the bonus level I’ll get all three orbs and then something happens and the previous bonus levels I completed will show I didn’t get the orbs. The Game Center achievements are on a forever loop and show non stop the achievements I’ve unlocked. It shows I unlocked a new skin after every level and goes through all of the skins. When I actually unlock a new skin it shows the new skin first which is nice. Anyways please fix these annoyances and I’ll give you a 5 star.... I just got to level 34 and then went to select a different profile so my daughter could play and it said I was at level 29. So yet another bug. I’ll download again once you’ve fixed the bugs. ### 2/5 — Unacceptable Bugs *2021-01-31, version 5.1.4* First I want to state the idea of the game is great that’s where the 2 Stars came from but this game is beyond buggy. I honestly can’t believe it made Apple Arcade. Apple should be ashamed for allowing this and the developer should be embarrassed for releasing a game in this state. The same achievement notifications pop up over and over and over again. Then I grind levels and when I minimize and go back I lost all my progress and have to start over. To add salt to injury I’m greeted with the same you unlocked this messages over and over and over when resuming game since it resets my progress. This game is plagued with game stopping bugs. The game shows it was released a year ago? And it’s in this state? get your act together. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super fun game *2020-10-16, version 5.1.4* I really love this game. I really like playing games like these and I saw this and downloaded it. This is probably the most fun I’ve had with a mobile game. I really like the art style that was used and it looks great for a mobile game. The gameplay is simple yet very satisfying. The levels are really interesting, creative, and well designed. It stars out easy but the puzzles get much more intricate which is awesome. The one thing is I wish there were more levels. I know there are plenty but I’ve been having so much fun that I’m getting through them quickly but no complaints about the game for me. If you have Apple Arcade I recommend downloading this game. ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2020-06-28, version 5.0.4* This game is fun to play and challenging in the higher levels. This game takes puzzle solving skills,quick reflexes and an “I will not be defeated “ attitude! I just learned that there are 20 new levels to solve in the update. Wonderful! Keep up the great work on this game. I also wanted to know if Apple Arcade has any Match 3 games?I am a match 3 enthusiast and I can’t find them on Apple Arcade. ### 5/5 — Exceeded my expectations *2020-01-05, version 3.0.0* This is a fun little arcade puzzler that exceeded the expectations I had for it. It’s perfect for some quick fun to kill some time, but I also found that it was interesting enough to pull me into some extended play sessions a few times as well. While it’s not the most robust game in Apple arcade I think that is OK, as I don’t think the developers intended it to be. I think it achieves what it set out to achieve - fast fun arcade puzzling! ### 5/5 — Must play *2019-12-15, version 3.0.0* I love a lot of what has come out on Arcade so far, but Hexaflip is gonna stay on my phone for a while. After fighting through to the end of level 88, I was worried it would be a while before an update, but we got two solid updates close together, and the added mechanics are killer. Quite literally most times. I love the simple idea but great execution, and the lovely skin choices add some fun details to my many attempts. Thanks for a great game. ### 5/5 — Addictive & fast! *2019-11-28, version 1.5* I finished all of the stages and then went back to complete each level where I hadn’t gotten 3 spheres. It’s that much fun! The minus one Star is because of Stage 66. There is no workable route to the second sphere. Other than that, I eagerly await for stages to be released! In short: Fun, and though flawed on one stage, it’s quick and responsive, easy yet challenging, and simple yet elegant graphics. Well done!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing and addicting *2019-11-14, version 1.5* The second I looked at this game I knew I would love it. I really enjoy the types of games where you have to quickly dodge many different types of obstacles, collect three items (if you can), and reach the finish. That’s just what this game is. As soon as I started playing this game, I got addicted. All in all, this game is a must-have and I hope there will be more levels in the future. I love this game! ### 5/5 — Simple, Addicting Fun *2019-09-22, version 1.2* This game is so simple yet it’s very well polished. On the surface it seems like any of the thousands of very simple games that are free on the app store, full of ads and junk, yet this like is the upgraded version of that lol. No IAP or ads obviously, it runs very smooth, it uses the haptic feedback A LOT which is so nice, and it’s straight to the point FUN. If you’re looking for a quick time killer to play anytime you have a minute or two to spare, then check this one out. ### 5/5 — Simple Addictive Timing Based Goodness *2019-09-21, version 1.2* I love simplicity in mobile games and Hexaflip is about as simple as it can get, tap left to flip left and right to flip... well, you know. But it’s what the developers manage to do on top of that simplicity that makes or breaks a game and this game is made. It urges you to go faster and faster and then trips you up in such a way you only feel like your self is to blame. The perfect outcome for a quick and addictive game. ### 5/5 — Don’t let the simple look fool you *2019-09-20, version 1.2* This game is loads of fun. I was suspicious it might be too simple. But there is something addicting and satisfying about flips that work out just in the right pattern. Gameplay controls are simple and elegantly on point. Just another example of a great game that would have been ruined by freemium in app purchases and ads were it not for Apple Arcade. Five stars! ### 4/5 — Great Game, One Suggestion *2021-04-13, version 5.2.8* The levels are fun but after you finish it it always takes you back to the main page. I wish that after you finish a level it then gives you an option where you can play the next level without always having to go back to the main menu. Just a minor problem but something that’s worth fixing. Great game, love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
