Hexic HD is the next puzzle hit from Alexey Pajitnov, the original creator of "Tetris." Rotate groups of three hexes to form clusters of like-colored tiles. Use bonus pieces and starflowers to boost your score and discover new ways to play. But watch out for bombs - clear them before they explode or it's game over.

This game gets really interesting if you're aiming to create black pearls from the white flowers. The concept it's not fully developed imo, but also nobody has make it better except maybe Bejeweled, so this is obviously much better than candyCrush-likes
I'd rather be playing Tetris, Puyo Puyo, Lumines, Meteos, or one of the many other puzzle games out there that are better than this.
I need this game ported on every platform known to man. Hexic HD has not gotten its proper flowers, it should be held as a classic purely for its soundtrack, let alone the gameplay and atmosphere
too dumb and young to enjoy it
Unlike Tetris, it feels like you're rarely, if ever, making substantial moves. The skill ceiling for meaningful play is significantly higher here though. It feels like you're just fucked later down the line if you don't form any "flowers" early in a game, because once you're in the later levels, the amount of different colored pieces you have to deal with makes that nigh impossible. Those flower pieces can be used for more accurate piece movement (if you're good at the game), so not having access to one late in a game limits your ability to do much of anything. Also, why is the music so haunting? It sounds like Zero has me trapped in an escape room, and the only way to leave is to match a black pearl flower. I think I'm gonna die here, please help
I played this every day for a couple years on MSN. I played it again on the Xbox 360 but it wasn't the same.
