Twist the hexagons to make a complete path that includes a pulsing gem. It looks simple, but it's quietly fiendish. The longer the path, the more points you score, but if you take too long, the gem will overload in a ball of fire! Hexterity first entertained players on the App Store way back in 2008, and to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the App Store's opening, we released this free update. Completely rewritten from scratch, it modernises the classic game for the gorgeous, high-resolution screens of the latest devices. Hexterity: Get Your Hexag On!

Your goal is to fill all hexagons with numbers from 1 to 6. Some numbers are already filled. There are only two simple rules in the game: • There can be only unique numbers in each hexagon (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, there cannot be two identical numbers in one hexagon. • Two adjacent cells from different hexagons must have the same number. That sounds easy, right? However, passing some levels can take a lot of time and effort. We have created 3000 unique levels with varying degrees of difficulty in our application. If you are playing Hexoku for the first time, try the level “Novice”. Each difficulty level contains 500 unique levels. Where level 1 is the easiest and 500 is the most difficult. If you can easily solve the 500st level of one difficulty level, try the first level of the next level of difficulty. Good luck!
