Hex Park from Webnetic is a colorful hex-based puzzle game in which you’ll rotate and align arrows. You’ll be doing this to remove obstacles, guide directions, and aim to clear the board in as few moves as possible. Things will start off simple enough, allowing you to get the hang of things before the game introduces new gameplay elements. You can take on each puzzle at your own pace, as there are no timers for you to worry about.

The first handful of levels in the game will teach you the basics, so that you can easily get the hang of things. You can play the game by using the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con, or by making the most of the console’s touchscreen when playing in Portable or Tabletop Mode, or if you’re taking Hex Park for a spin on a Nintendo Switch Lite console.

 

If using the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con, you’ll move a cursor around the screen by using the left analog stick, as you click on the blocks by pressing the A button. Doing this will send the block moving down in the direction its arrow is pointing at. Once all blocks are gone from the playing field, you’ll complete the level and be able to move on to the next one. Simple, right?

If you click on a block and it hits another block while moving, it will return to its starting position, and you’ll have wasted a move. You have a limited number of moves for completing each level, so you do need to pay attention and not click away non-stop. There’s going to eventually be some contraptions you can click on to rotate blocks, which will change the direction in which their arrows are pointing. There are other new elements that will be introduced at a steady pace, changing how you approach things.

Once you progress a bit further, you’ll unlock a new item: a hammer that you can use to destroy blocks! And a few levels later, you’ll get an even more powerful bundle of TNT. The TNT can be used to explode several blocks at once. And after the TNT, you’ll get to unlock a drill. The drill can be used to destroy any spot on the platform for the current level, giving you an extra spot into which you can send the blocks to remove them from play.

Since the hammer, TNT, and drill are very powerful tools, you’ll have a limited number of uses for them. Once you run out, you’ll be able to spend your hard-earned coins to purchase additional uses… and these purchases are going to be very expensive! This is the way in which the game balances things out so that you don’t end up abusing power-ups.

You can take on each puzzle at your own pace, as there are no timers for you to worry about.

You’ll be running into locks that need to be opened with keys, ice counters, saws that destroy any blocks they come into contact with, blocks that block blocks from moving, tiles that won’t show what’s under them until you clear X number of blocks from the platform, tiles that change the direction in which a block is moving, and more. You’ll need to make the most of the tools at your disposal to progress further and further, as you use your hard-earned coins to purchase extras. Hex Park is out on Nintendo Switch with a $5.99 price tag.

There’s also a Hex Park – Master DLC for $1.99 that adds 150 new levels for you to take on. Or you can go all-in and get the Hex Park – Master Bundle for $6.99, which includes the base game as well as the Master DLC, saving you a buck in the process.
