About Hex: Origins

Hex: Origins is a casual puzzle game based on a complete hexagon themed colorful experience. Enjoy a refreshing, calming and original experience, which is extremely easy to pick up but hard to master as you progress in the game. Across the multitude of game modes and levels you will encounter, you must place pieces composed of anywhere from 2 to 10 and more hexagons, each using up to 6 different colors.

Everything in the game is based on two simple rules:
  • You can place a piece anywhere on the board with no restrictions as long as all the neighboring tiles are empty.
  • If one hex has a colored neighbor on the board, at least one of those neighbors needs to match its color.

Building upon these simple rules, we added special board pieces and power-ups in order to create a fun and colorful experience. As long as you keep placing pieces on the board, its requirements for placing pieces change - so be careful about the order, colors and type of shapes you can use. Always plan ahead!

Gameplay


Hex: Origins offers you 4 different game modes, 2 available from the start, and 2 unlocked with tokens you earn while playing the game:

  • Classic: a linear experience bundled up in Episodes, structured into 6 Chapters, each containing 6 Levels that you can play in 3 difficulties. Each Episode introduces new mechanics into gameplay and with each passing chapter, the difficulty is slightly raised - but so are the rewards!
  • Flow: a linear experience similar to Classic, with the added requirement of connecting various battery pieces to light bulbs in order to power them up! Carefully plan your colored ways across the board and take up the challenge! Don't forget to fill up the board, though.
  • Exploration: Give up the static board and expand in any direction! Exploration maps feature a center starting point with all the colors onto which you will start expanding in any direction you want.
  • Treasure Hunting: On rare occasions you will find treasure map fragments. Assemble them into a map and embark on a  thematic journey in order to find the hidden treasures of Hex: Origins. Always remember that X marks the spot!

Features


  • Over 800 levels of ever-increasing challenges with 3 difficulty options
  • Dynamic level difficulty & no unique solutions: the moves you make always alter the possible shapes that can be placed thus making it easier or harder for yourself. As you place these pieces the game will try to generate pieces that you can use. Plan ahead carefully. Finish a level in any way possible!
  • Shuffle mechanic: discard existing pieces and draw new ones in exchange for a tiny fraction of your progress bar.
  • 5 power-ups that you can use to slightly alter or completely change the game board.
  • Special bonus shapes: from time to time a difficult to place piece will appear (9+ hex piece). Place it on the board and successfully finish the level and earn extra rewards.
  • Complete in-game quests that range from easy to hard and get awesome rewards!
  • Open treasure chests and reap the rewards while you complete any level!
  • Unlock custom hex piece skins. Customize your board with that extra bling!
  • Customize the game experience with 9 beautiful backgrounds!
  • Cloud saving, achievements, stats, leaderboards, level editor, workshop and soon trading cards!

Follow The Cpt Froggy Club Curator Page for plenty more![/b][/url][/quote] HEX: Origins: ~~~~~~~~~~ What do you call a shape who has six sides? You’re dead right, it’s a hexagon. Now, imagine a multiple number of hexagonal tiles joined together, what would you call that? Wow, you guys are so good! It is indeed a pattern. Let’s make it slightly more difficult. What would you call a pattern of hexagonal tiles which must be filled with coloured hexagons connected together as a shape, while making sure one side of each hexagon touches another hexagon of the same colour? So. . . you’re stuck now, hey! It’s simple. . . it’s Hex Origins, of course! Hex: Origins is a casual puzzle game which offers over eight hundred levels within four types of modes, as well as a level editor to create your own maps. As you might already know, I am a big fun of puzzle games, and I must admit that Hex: Origins grabs my attention straight away. As I mentioned above, the game offers four types of gameplay, which are: classic, flow, exploration and treasure hunting. The first two are very similar and have three levels of …

I'm a beta tester for this game and today i want to express my opinion about Hex:Origins:) I've been with it the whole time since it appeared on FB and its own website. To say it plainly being the kind of person who loves puzzle games, I strongly recommend Hex! Why chose to play this game? Simple: - It's refreshing, somewhat soothing and in the same time challenging! - The hexagon theme is new and forces you to adapt to a new perspective. Never seen the combination of a puzzle game and the hexagon theme in this form before. - It combines a range of different types of gameplay so you won't get bored; If you get tired of the classic gameplay mode you can switch to flow, exploration, trasure hunting oooooor, my personal favorite: the level editor! The maps already made by other players are quite fun and i can't wait for other people to post their maps too. - You can challenge yourself to complete a level in calssic mode not only at a 3 star rate but also at the hardest mastery level :D ( i never pass a level without completeing it first at a 3 star level - hard mode :D) I would like to be able to complete the other player's level in the same way as in classic mode, think it would …

Very nice game concept, I honestly enjoyed it a lot to fill gaps in between other longer games or time waiting for friends on multiplayer games.

Found this game to be a great time killer, simple but really hard to master and the higher difficulty levels are a pretty mind-boggling especially if you don't want to use powerups. Neat mechanics and gameplay options and I haven't encountered a single bug so far. I've been playing the mobile version for a while now which is basically the same without the steam workshop and it also fits very nicely on a mobile device imho. If you like puzzle-style games which don't make you wanna punch your screen after the 3rd level but instead slowly grow in difficulty this game is a neat option you could consider.
