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!

Complete every region with 1–N, with no matching neighbors.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hexterity at none against Color Sudoku's shown. Hexterity also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Color Sudoku's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
