Hexiom connect is a cool puzzle game that is easy to pick up and play and has levels challenging enough for any hardcore puzzle gamer. This fact makes is a great game for a lunch break or a three hour gaming session(unless your one of those guys that can solve any puzzle in 3 minutes). The premises of the game is simple. There are a number of hexes on the board with connectors on some of their sides. There are always some hexes that are not occupied and that you can move other hexes on to. Your job is to connect all the same colored ends of all the hexes and don’t leave any hanging. Note that you cannot place a hex in an empty slot if the adjoining end color from another hex is different.

The game has a good difficulty curb also. The first few puzzles were pretty easy, I got through 4 or 5 of them, then I decided to tackle the last level, 40. I was blown away by the difficulty of level forty and after spending some time on it decided to give up because I had some work to do. I will come back to it and probably follow the video walk-through(below) to finish up the game.

Note how I said I only got through the first 4 or 5 levels and then was able to play level 40. Thats one of the best things about this game. You don’t have to solve the previous puzzle to move on to the next one. You can play any puzzle you want to test out the range of difficulties in the game. If you get bored with the easy puzzles, you don’t need to wade through 10 of them, you can jump right into the harder ones. I would suggest that you do play them in order as each puzzle presents its own challenges and if you jump ten or twenty levels, you might just think the game got too difficult all of a sudden.

Hexiom is one of the best puzzle games I’ve played in the past month or two and is worth a play whether you are looking for a game for that 10 minute break or looking for a flash game to take you through a long gaming session. Certainly give it a try.
