A free, elegant, infinite puzzle game in which your past actions are your only obstacle. Kind of like a hexagonal tetris. Beautiful hand-drawn 2D animations and buttery-smooth effects. iOS only (for now).


Roasts
Physics Controls

The Good:

* Simple controls
* Minimal presentation

Needs Work:

* I had to fail a good 3-4 times before I figured out the controls. Even in a simple game with no need for a 'tutorial', it should be a bit more intuitive. Perhaps only for the first two attempts, give the player a longer lead time before the UFOs start showing up, to let them learn the controls.
* The controls need tightening up. I generally felt out-of-control most of the time. Perhaps being able to press and hold for a slightly longer burst?
* Graphics: Here's where a very simple fiery "trail" effect behind the ship would be a good "bang for your development buck".

Great suggestion. This is my first attempt at visual/color design and I've learned a lot.

Hexbreaker 1.1 will feature a much better color palette with higher contrast.
Hexbreaker 1.2 will feature a wide variety of palettes to choose from.

We've talked it over with the team, and longer score display time has been added to the Hexbreaker 3.0 list. You can expect to see it later in February. Thanks for the roast!
