HexSet
Thanks to the rising popularity of the site, we’ve been getting requests by developers to check out their apps. Many of the apps that we’ve evaluated have been very good to excellent because they’re useful tools, innovative, and/or best in class. Yet, combining these requests with the huge amount of content in the App Store, we’re prone to quickly judge an app “by it’s cover” before a hands-on evaluation. An example of this is HexSet. When Klogia contacted us to evaluate their game as a possible recommendation to our readers, we were honestly going to pass on it based purely on description alone as it raised some obvious questions. First, do we really need an updated version of Connect Four? As the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” Also, why pay for a variation of Connect Four if there are free versions in the App Store? When we finally gave it a test drive, we answered those questions immediately: while keeping the same basic objective intact, this game is way more challenging than Connect Four because the player has to use different strategies to win. In addition, the game includes a 2-player head-to-head mode as well as five difficulty levels, which makes it a perfect “snack” game with high replay value, especially for those on the go. Recommended with our full confidence, check out this unassuming, but surprisingly innovative game. Pretty sneaky, Klogia! Price: $1.99.
