Block! Hexa Puzzle

by BitMango

I feel like I was kinda duped into downloading Block! Hexa Puzzle. I’d typed into google ‘android games like Tetris and it enthusiastically suggested Block! Hexa Puzzle. I get it off Playstore, start playing only to kind that apart from a passing aesthetic game layout resemblance, Block! Hexa Puzzle bears little to no similarities with Tetris. However once I started playing I have to admit I found myself enjoying it so I guess it’s a good duping. A white duping.

Block! Hexa Puzzle is a puzzle game. Not a brainteaser style game shoehorned into the puzzle game category, I mean the digital equivalent of a sitting down round your grandma’s coffee table on a rainy afternoon and completing a 1000 piece puzzle kind of puzzle.

The aim of the game is to arrange randomized geometric shapes (that look a little bit like tetrominos… I guess) into the empty –again randomized – game board. Each puzzle is fairly short and as such you can burn through several puzzles in one sitting but that’s ok because there’s plenty of puzzles to work on (each of the fifteen plus levels are comprised of eighty stages). As one would expect the levels get harder as one progresses – with more pieces, cut into more interesting shapes that one must attempt to fit into each stages game board. And that is, well, it. There’s not a lot more I can add!

Block! Hexa Puzzle is not an exciting game to describe but actually playing it is actually wonderfully satisfying. There’s one too many commercials between rounds (draining my damn data usage) for my liking but that’s the only negative I can find. If you’re looking for a game that gives your brain lots of micro puzzle challenges that provide that comforting feeling you haven’t felt since those rainy days round grandma’s house then look no further than Block! Hexa Puzzle.
