It’s very disappointing when you have to start all over. Winning is the hardest as well. ### 4/5 — Cant move at all *2019-09-26, version 2.4.0* When I play to stage 6. I figures out that it is a little bit hard to match. As I went into stage 7, it become no possible match. Is that maybe a bug? If it is please fix it. Otherwise this game is awesome. ### 4/5 — Bien *2019-02-24, version 2.4.0* Mi juego favorito de la infancia. Debería estar disponible para Mac ### 4/5 — Fun Game, too small *2019-01-19, version 2.4.0* I really like this game. It was a pleasant surprise when I first discovered it on ZUNE, and now in the App Store. This is a great copy but I agree with others that the board is too small. I don’t really care for the pastels but a bigger board would mitigate that some of the colors are hard to differentiate. ### 3/5 — Hexic -best of best *2018-12-20, version 2.4.0* xbox - console game 🎮 very good!!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-10-25, version 2.4.0* Just like the original game! So much fun. ### 3/5 — Increase the size of the board! *2018-10-17, version 2.4.0* Love this rendition of an old favorite. I don’t mind the pastel colors at all. My one complaint is the overall size of the board. With so much empty space, why not make it bigger? Once new colors are added as levels progress, it gets hard realllly fast due to how small the board is. ### 5/5 — 만족합니다 ㅋ *2018-10-09, version 2.4.0* 어릴적 msn겜으로 보던걸 폰으로 할 수 있어서 좋네요 ### 5/5 — AHH THE NOSTALGIA!!! *2018-10-01, version 2.4.0* I used to play Hexic all the time on my X-Box 360. I would put music on and spend hours playing it. I’m glad I found it for the iPhone! ### 4/5 — We need Survival mode!!! *2018-07-14, version 2.4.0* I would give this app 5 but my favorite part of of this game on the Xbox is the survival mode and I’m bummed it isn’t on this. Other than that this is an amazing game and Almost identical to the original! ### 4/5 — Tres bon jeux de puzzul *2018-06-04, version 2.4.0* Très bon jeux pour se casser la tête. Parfait pour se changer les idées du quotidien. ### 5/5 — Just like the original *2018-04-21, version 2.4.0* I always loved this game ### 5/5 — Soothing and Addictive *2018-03-20, version 2.4.0* Just what I was looking for👌🏽 ### 5/5 — Colors *2018-01-22, version 2.4.0* You guys should make the colors brighter. It’s hard to tell the difference between the purple, blue & pink especially on the bombs. Other than that it’s a great game! ### 5/5 — Addictive *2018-01-14, version 2.4.0* Simple but oddly addictive. It'd be nice to be able to alter the color scheme, but I love it regardless. ### 5/5 — A Good Hex! *2017-12-01, version 2.4.0* Just a fun as the one on XBox 360! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I hate the new update! *2017-01-10, version 2.2.3* I hate the way the new update looks. I don't even want to play it anymore! It no longer looks like the original, the colors are muted and hard to look at! Change it back. ### 1/5 — New color scheme is horrible *2017-01-09, version 2.2.3* Hate the new color scheme. Please restore the previous scheme or allow it as an option. ### 1/5 — Deleting now! *2016-12-29, version 2.2.2* Such a terrible surprise to go to my favorite game and find these small pale playing pieces. I can't see them without squinting because the color is so faint. Then using the help option makes it even worse. All that junk in there gives me a headache. To be fair I've given it some great tries but I'm done unless you bring back the old one. ### 1/5 — Two thumbs down *2016-12-25, version 2.2.2* New pastel Art Deco colors are terrible. Hated it so much I deleted the game. Wish I could give it negative stars. ### 1/5 — Use to be avid player *2016-12-23, version 2.2.2* I hate the new pastel look! It is difficult to see the stars colors. I will quit playing now. You ruined the game! ### 1/5 — Plagio *2016-05-07, version 1.5.2* Roban la idea de otro juego y la monetizan. ### 1/5 — Infested with ads... *2015-09-13, version 1.5.2* ...to the point where anywhere I click anywhere in the game I get a 5 second video ad every 10 seconds or so. This is unplayable. Don't waste your time. ### 2/5 — Not what I expected *2019-04-29, version 2.4.0* It’s not like the old school man one at all. Disappointed. ### 2/5 — Not like the original hexic games *2019-02-19, version 2.4.0* Why can’t I turn the shapes like in Hexic Rush in windows phone? Where are the bombs at the start of the game? Why does the “classic theme” look like none of the hexic game’s I’ve ever played? Nothing really like any of the original hexic games from Microsoft and carbonated games... ### 2/5 — Are you kidding me?!? *2018-04-22, version 2.4.0* This used to be a 5 Star game. If I can’t undo this horrible update, I’m deleting the app. The colors changed totally and it’s so ugly and annoying that I won’t play it. I’ll delete this one and look for a better version. What were they thinking?!? You ruined it :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great version *2026-04-16, version 2.4.0* Gets more colors way faster than I remember which increases difficulty quicker and I get bored…. But a lovely rendering of the game and I like having a game that only needs a little of my brain while listening to a book. I only play arcade mode ### 5/5 — Enfim achei *2026-02-05, version 2.4.0* Não achava em lugar algum depois do Xbox... É um jogo relaxante demais. ### 5/5 — Just like the original *2025-12-06, version 2.4.0* Great game, it makes you think. I’ve only finished it once. Very challenging. Enjoy! ### 5/5 — It’s nice but something broke *2021-12-27, version 2.4.0* It won’t re shuffle when there’s no move.” I just verify it by rotate every possible move point when I met this. Except this, it’s is a good game. ### 5/5 — No adverts! *2021-12-11, version 2.4.0* Fun and with no ads ### 5/5 — Please Update Soon! *2021-01-20, version 2.4.0* This game isn’t supported by the new iOS updates! Please update it so it can be! I love it. ### 5/5 — Feature Request *2020-10-24, version 2.4.0* Annoying that the pause and arrows are on the bottom. What about a swipe bar at the top? Swipe left/right, down for pause, up for resume or menu? Same as iOS basically, just contextualized to an interactive button. ### 5/5 — Descárgalo *2019-05-25, version 2.4.0* No dejarás de jugarlo. El Juego que estaba en el messanger cuando se compartían los juegos en línea ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-01-20, version 2.4.0* It is kind of like the game on the XBOX 360 called Hexic 2! ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2018-12-15, version 2.4.0* Esta muy bien pero pienso que sería mejor si necesitaras más movimientos o puntos para avanzar de nivel --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
