AstraWare recently ported a few puzzlers from MSN Games to the Windows Mobile platform. Hexic is the second application(coming after Mozaki) that is unleashed onto Windows Mobile devices – can this Bejeweled clone stack up?
Like its sister product Mozaki, Hexic can be played in timed and untimed modes at varying difficulties:
Astraware also gave the program a ‘puzzle’ mode – here, you are assigned specific jobs that must be solved by clearing the board:
The goal behind Hexic is rotating tiles to form three adjacent ones which then disappear. For example, look at the marked tiles below:
Similar to Mozaki, the game includes a detailed tutorial and in-game help system.
This review looked at version 1.02 of Hexic on a hp ipaq rx4240 running its stock Windows Mobile 5 ROM. The program needs about 3 to 4MB of RAM and can be stored on an external memory card.
In the end, Hexic is little more than Bejeweled for people with a good spatial sense. People who like Bejeweled will probably like Hexic, as will people who have played it on MSN Games. Get the trial here and see if you can cope with the controls: the full version can be purchased for 9.95$ in the TamsShop.
