Hexa Tiles - A fiendish puzzle game



This is the forum thread to discuss my latest game “Hexa Tiles”.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/289829152/

This is a puzzle game I invented by accident when messing around with hexagons…



To complete each level you must turn all the hexagons red. Clicking on a hexagon turns it red, but also affects the surrounding tiles, which cycle through the three colours (green, yellow and red). You cannot click on a hexagon that is already red!

There are currently 12 levels. It's really hard to devise layouts that can actually be solved, so unfortunately they range from the trivially easy to the extremely complicated without much scope in between.

All levels ARE possible!!

Due to the nature of the puzzle, if you make a wrong move it's very likely that you won't be able to recover and will need to restart the level.

You can use the Save and Load buttons to save the level you're on, and restart where you left off at a later time. Please note the save codes are unique to your username so you can't share them! Sorry!!

If nothing else, it's an amusing way to pass the time, kind of like an online fidget spinner…

Feel free to post hints and tips, or ask for help on any levels here.

(I will be publishing solutions for all the levels in this thread at some point, so please subscribe to this thread)

I think the sequence before the three last is wrong.

Nope

They're on CubeUpload. Maybe that's blocked for you (?)
