    Hexic

    Has anyone ever managed to get anywhere with this game? Like make a Black Pearl or anything?

    Every now and again I decide to learn how to play it properly, I know nothing, I read guides, FAQs, threads, stuff about grid systems, all of which are written in a way that only someone who already understands the game could follow, so they are no use, have another go, and get nowhere again.

    Its the least accessible game I've ever tried to play.

    Anyone every done anything ever?

    Re: Hexic

    Mwahahaha! I've made a black pearl!

    It's the "Big Cheese of the South Seas - Form a cluster of three black pearls" that I could never do.

    "Grand Pearl Pooh-Bah - Surround one piece with six black pearls", well that's just plain madness.

    Stewart, HEXIC is one of the most accessible games! You've got to surround one piece with matching colours of another piece. So it looks kinda like a flower? Example:

    Do that and great things will happen...

    i always preferred bejewelled myself, never really got on with hexic as sometimes it just throws you a bomb you cant get rid of.

    Re: Hexic

    It's definitely quite challenging, but I think its fun too. I like puzzle-type games and think Hexic is one of the better ones. Besides, my sister can play it, so anybody else should be able too!

    Wasn't there a Hexic 2 or something as well? Haven't played that one.

    Re: Hexic

    hexic's wonderful!

    clusters of 3 similar things (same colors or bonus stars) to do the basics, make flowers for bigger (weirder) effects.

    simple enough

    Re: Hexic

    I am the same as Parm. I can make Black Pearls all of the time but just cannot put 3 together consistently and have never done the surrounding thing. I really like the game!
    Not around too often!

    Re: Hexic

    heh weird isnt it, on my 360 i have poker smash, lumines, bejewelled, zuma and hexic (thats the ones i remember) and hexic is my least favourite

    i love puzzle games though, i think if the devs get it right there is almost endless replayability there
