Hex Beam is a logic puzzle game about guiding light through a hexagonal board. Turn the tiles to direct each colored beam to its matching target. A mirror that connects one beam can send another in the wrong direction. Find the arrangement that connects them all. Start with simple reflections, then discover new ways to control the light. Split a beam into multiple paths. Send it through portals to another part of the board. Turn linked tile groups together, changing several paths with a single move. As the puzzles become more complex, each tile becomes part of a larger problem. Follow the beams, work out how the paths interact, and test your solution. Watch the light change as you turn each tile. Play through increasingly complex levels, or try a new daily puzzle. Hints and a puzzle guide are available when you need help. Turn the tiles. Find the path. Connect every color.
