Game mechanics

Creators of Hexologic took inspiration from Sudoku, but instead of blindly adapting it rules, MythicOwl used them as a base for something new. The gameplay focuses on titular hexes, on which players put dots so that their number corresponds to the one on a figure’s side. It isn’t a problem with a single hex but becomes one when figures start forming more and more complicated shapes. Players have to share a required amount of dots between a few fields to get the correct number in a straight line. This isn’t easy due to a necessity of creating a few sequences consisting of the same fields.

Hexologic offers sixty levels divided between four worlds, each with unique mechanics to vary the basic gameplay. Some puzzles are time-limited and intended for skilled players who might want to take on bigger challenges.
