About this game

Hex Mine 2D is a pure logic puzzle on a hexagonal grid. Every orange cell is either blue or black, and numbered clue cells tell you how many of their neighbors are blue. You use those numbers together to work out every cell.

It is designed so that no guessing is ever needed: each puzzle can be solved by deduction alone. A short tutorial explains the basics, then 30 handcrafted levels add new clue types, such as overlapping clues, consecutive groups and directional clues.

There is no timer. Undo, restart and hint buttons are available, mistakes are tracked, and progress is saved so you can pick levels later. The visual style is clean and minimal.

It is played with a mouse or touch screen.

Fans of Minesweeper and nonograms will feel at home. Start with clues showing 0 or the maximum value, because they settle all their neighbors at once and give you a foothold.
