Hexon Rush

Hexon Rush is a connection puzzle with a timer and a sci-fi look. The board is made of hexagonal tiles, each carrying sections of line, and the main goal is to connect all the lines inside those tiles before time runs out. When every line links up, the level is solved.

The scale is the thing to know. There are 600 levels, and they grow in size, difficulty and complexity as you go, so small early boards give way to large networks that take real planning under the clock. The time limit means you cannot wait for inspiration; you need a method, such as starting from the edges where tiles have fewer neighbours.

Two types of helpers are available to get you out of trouble. The developer adds a warning, though: they are hard to obtain, so they are worth keeping for the levels that genuinely defeat you rather than spending at the first hesitation. Used sparingly, they make the long climb through 600 boards more manageable.

1. Look over the hexagonal tiles and their line sections.
2. Start connecting lines from the edges of the board.
3. Link every line before the timer ends.
4. Save your helpers for the toughest levels.

Do not spend a helper on an early level. They are hard to obtain, and the larger boards near the end of the 600 are where you will want them.
