About Hex

Hex is a simple game where two players race to connect their sides of the board. The winner is the first to build a solid path connecting their two sides.

Play locally against a computer or pass the device between friends (*ahem* rivals). Further your game by logging in with Google+ to unlock achievements and play online.

Settings give you the option to create your own customized house rules. Change the board size from 4x4 to 30x30, enable (or disable) first move swap, and set a timer for speed runs.


If you want to try your hand at Android development, the app is 100% open sourced here: http://xlythe.github.com/HexGame_Android/

Hours of Fun!

This came up in an algorithms class as an NP Complete problem. And while the creators seem to have taken a greedy approach and got stuck in a single matroid since initial steps, its still really fun to play

I'd like to report a bug that appears occasionally in the Nash size board. One star off for the bug (and speed of strategy algorithm at said Nash size) and one star off for not having a way other than this to report the bug... I'd give it a five without the bug and no way to report it... I'll eat the speed. Thanks for open source. (why I'd eat the speed issue) edit:spelling

U70%
by U####:

Even when we're into forced moves, it takes forever. Give the AI a surrender option. The game's already over and I'm waiting for 10 minutes for each of the AI's pointless remaining moves. Very frustrating.

K70%
by K####:

The pie rule is not implemented correctly! The pie rule does not switch side in the game, it only switches color of the first move.

K70%
by K####:

Mark last move in some way; also let the user choose if he wants to go first. otherwise very good.

O70%

Been playing for weeks, never won a single game against hard AI Best. Game. Ever.

A70%
by A####:

I seem to win, based in the "how to play, but the computer keeps playing after I've gotten across?

U70%
by U####:

A decent AI for those new to the game.

M70%

I've enjoyed playing this as a board game for many years, and I've always wanted to find a mobile version to play with friends. The only other version I found was fine, but only offered up to a 9 by 9 board. You could, however, pay $2.00 to play on up to 13 by 13, which was pretty reasonable. This version, on the other hand, offers plenty of settings, such as timed games, online play, a simple computer opponent, and a board size anywhere from 4 by 4 to 30 by 30, and it's free to boot. Perfect score.

I modified my review after the app has no crashes anymore on Note 3 Thank you

M70%
by M####:

But the ai is way too slow, especially on larger boards. The ai is too weak on medium difficulty, it let me win easily by making a few stupid moves. So, it is a good start but needs polish to become actually playable

T70%
by T####:

F*** we can't win a single time with the computer even if we have connected the 2 sides. I would have given 0 stars to it

Top game but the computer can't beat me, I challenge anyone

I like it. Could do with the red and blue colours along the entire edges as per the instructions, and an audible click when the computer plays might also be helpful.

Crap

Simple game. High light is you cannot draw the game. Either you should win or lose.

I found no fun in this game. Each move the CPU makes its annoying and unfair. I deleted this game in 2 minutes, and was unsatisfied.

T70%
by T####:

I love this game for playing against other people, but I try to play against the AI and on medium difficulty it's basically imposible to beat. On easy, it's way to easy. Good game overall though!

T70%
by T####:

If you get the center, you can always win.

S70%
by S####:

Game play seems good, AI think times are nigh unbearable, even with the shortest timer selected. Only reason it's 4/5 is the long wait time between it's moves; other than that, absolutely top-notch and is a favorite!

L70%
by L####:

Great job developers. Pros: Simple and user friendly interface. Cons: Needs time optimization in AI level.
