A unique four-dimensional puzzle, but please do not expect to solve it easily. The game consists of rolling a golden sphere to each surface of a hypercube. This is done by touching a door to pass through which in turn rotates the tesseract four dimensionally and brings the sphere into a new room. Passing through a series of rooms strategically will put the sphere on the walls and ceilings of rooms it has previously been in. The goal is to reach every wall, floor and ceiling of every room.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tesseract! at 88% against Hex Twist's 33%. Tesseract! also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Hex Twist's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 10 months vs every 66 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hex Twist holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tesseract! has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Hex Twist's written reviews are positive against 88% of Tesseract!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hex Twist ships an update every 10 months, Tesseract! every 66 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
