HEXADEL

First impression: great idea, nice sound field and styling. Controls let it down.

Thank you for the opportunity to try the game. Maybe tower defense is not for me at the moment. Overall concept is good enough to play. Some tweaks might be needed to improve overall controls. Generally a chill enough game, but still need bit more work to complete it. Music sounds nice, but perhaps not for this game genre. - Layering concept is abit confusing and difficult to manage and view - Perhaps a easier "cancel" off button to release current selected item? or i missed out in the tutorial - Not sure if its intentional, but the manual main shooter was a struggle to defend itself, while still focusing to build "more" with limited resources - Mouse cursor lost, cannot navigate game menu after a new game/tutorial - A pause option? and also quick speed control? although i liked the part where it slowed down for you when necessary. i.e. losing health? Overall, recommendable for those interested in tower defense, if the glitches are fixed, along with better controls of layering concept. But for cozy wise, i find the struggle abit more frustrating.

HEXADEL, developed and published by Planetary Gears, is a minimalist strategy experience that blends tower defense fundamentals with logistical puzzle design and base-building creativity. Framed around constructing and defending layered citadels known as “Hexadels,” the game introduces players to a neon-lit battlefield where careful planning, resource routing, and structural design matter just as much as raw defensive power. While modest in scope, it distinguishes itself through its emphasis on system interaction and emergent gameplay rather than sheer content volume. At its core, HEXADEL revolves around constructing defensive layouts to repel waves of hostile forces. Unlike traditional tower defense games that rely on predetermined paths, the structure here is more open-ended. Players design their citadel from modular components, placing walls, turrets, traps, and conveyor systems in configurations that shape how enemies are funneled and how resources circulate. The conveyor mechanics are especially central to the experience. They ensure that ammunition, power, or defensive elements are transported efficiently throughout the structure, creating a logistical layer that elevates th…

This game is a blend of tower defense and puzzle, with a really great strategic element. The genres are very well interwoven, the overall design is good, it's aesthetically pleasing, and the music is incredibly relaxing. A very good experience, highly recommended even in early access. I can't wait for the full release!

Really unique, simple and fun tower defense with neon light only. It might be a little struggle at the first but when you know and more familiar with the gameplay, it's really easy to learn and really fun with the puzzle part. The music is really relaxing too when playing this game.

Really disliked it. An unpleasant experience. Nothing seemed to work, tutorial was no help tried to build towers, really hit or miss, walls seem pointless, not fun. Three thumbs down.
