### 3/5 — Fun game but doesn't respect volume settings.

*2015-11-24*

There's no way to mute the sound or change the volume. That's poor design. Otherwise a fun port of the original game.

### 3/5 — nice game, could use some more development

*2010-08-13*

I was thrilled to find this game for the iPhone because I had it way back when it was a DOS game for the PC.

It is a very challenging game, kind of a mix of checkers and Othello. 

This app could use some more development for the iPhone, though.  Response is a little sluggish. (OS 4)  The controls need to be better. The control is by touching the cell you want to move into, but the cells are too small on the iPhone, so it is very easy to touch the wrong cell by mistake.  It would probably work better on the iPad, just because the screen is bigger.

The AI is unrelenting on the medium setting, so there is no room for mistake.  

There are no "extras" on this app.  You can't choose which color you want your piece to be.  No option to edit the playfield.  They don't have the little bumble bee lightbulb graphic that made the original so cute.  The sound is very basic. No sound options, not even on / off. These don't matter to the game play, but really, they could have put a little more detail into it. 

If you want a challenging game that is a mix of checkers and othello and you have small fingers, you'll like this.

### 4/5 — Good

*2010-06-02*

Good fun game. It's better to play vs. Human because that way it's not as hard. (depending on who you are playing against) it's also always random  
Vs. Human player. But playing against the computer it is almost impossible to win.

### 4/5 — Fun and hard game

*2010-02-11*

### 3/5 — Slow

*2009-12-15*

### 4/5 — Fun

*2009-08-17, version 0*

Very fun game

### 4/5 — Not Bad

*2009-08-13*

Nice Hexxagon clone

### 4/5 — A fantastic remake of a classic shareware favorite

*2009-07-24, version 0*

I've been looking for Hexxagon on the iPhone for ages and this looks, feels and plays just like I hoped it would! Well done! My only thought for an improvement would be for the ability to choose from different playing pieces.

### 1/5 — 0 stars

*2019-04-11*

The game doesn’t work whatsoever. Me and my husband both paid the dollar, downloaded it, tried to play each other and it would NEVER CONNECT. After so much time wasted trying to play each other, I tried to play against the computer and when the game would load or the app wouldn’t crash, the game wouldn’t do anything. You couldn’t move pieces or play. All you can do it anticipate the app crashing.

### 1/5 — Доработать

*2016-01-31*

Не совпадают нажатия на экране с объектами игры. iPad 3 retina

### 1/5 — Does not work iOS 9

*2015-10-03*

### 1/5 — Только одно поле!

*2012-10-11*

Только одно поле!

### 2/5 — .

*2014-11-25, version 1.4*

Normally a fun game but computer player glitches. It can turn your pieces into its own at random.

### 2/5 — Bugs in the endgame ruin it.

*2012-03-02*

I love Hexxagon, and have played it since the first DOS release.  This is a somewhat faithful recreation of the original title, though the lack of the Edit Board option is vexing.  What truly sinks this game, however, is the bug that surfaces in the endgame on Expert.  After almost the entire board has been completed, the computer will begin to move pieces that you have just captured as though they still belonged to it, making it impossible to complete a game.  This desperately needs to be fixed.

### 2/5 — Perfect clone, but lags

*2009-11-06*

This is definitely the old Hexxagon game we love, but the controls lag quite a bit.  It takes at least a full second after tapping the screen for anything to happen.  If that gets fixed...5-star game.

### 3/5 — It’s ok but...

*2017-12-02*

Sound fox isn’t as catchy as dos version and you can’t change your pieces design

### 3/5 — Buggy and Slow

*2016-08-06*

I loved the original Hexxagon, but this version is very laggy and the graphics are pretty bad. The graphics looked smoother on my old DOS PC over 20 years ago. It needs work.

### 5/5 — Yay! Nice one

*2019-07-06, version 1.7*

Feels like the original

### 5/5 — Used to play this as a kid

*2014-11-11*

I've been waiting for a decent remake to come out for a while.

### 5/5 — Great strategy game

*2014-03-24*

I used to love this game on my PC. Now I can enjoy it on my ipod.

### 5/5 — Pretty Good

*2014-02-17*

I think this is very faithful to the original, and better in that the piece conversion effects match their respective pieces (i.e. the green pieces emit green lightning and the blue pieces emit blue lasers while in the original, the red pieces shot out blue fluid and the blue pieces shot out red lightning and I assume that that was a programming oversight.)

### 5/5 — hexawesome!!!!!

*2011-03-20*

niiiiiiceee! a little slow to respond but who cares. what's the rush? people are always rushing around. people need to relax, it's like my dad always says "slow down and chew your food, you'll choke, you idiot." it's like that but without the food.

### 5/5 — More

*2011-01-13*

Please add more pieces, in the pc version if you purchased the upgrade you got several others pieces

### 5/5 — Classic Hexxagon !

*2010-03-29*

If you like the original pc Hexxagon you will like this game. The AI, controls and sound are great!

### 5/5 — Just like the original

*2009-08-13*

A favorite in the early 90's, this one is just like it.  Played a game . . . I've still got it!

### 4/5 — Fix the glitch in expert

*2010-09-17*

Great game, very challenging in the expert level, even more so when the computer decides to cheat. I've seen the computer change one of my pieces to one of its in certain situations when there are only 2 open slots. Please fix!! Otherwise 5 stars. Reason for slow gameplay people are complaining about is so you have time to change your pick if you accidentally picked the wrong spot.

### 4/5 — Nice, but...

*2010-06-10*

I wish there was an option to turn the sound off or to be able to listen to music OVER the sound. There doesn't seem to be any settings or options---would be even better if there were.
