Hexis: a hex minesweeper where guessing is never the answer
Hexis is a hex minesweeper, except nothing is there to dodge: you are finding the hidden cells, not avoiding them. Every board opens as a field of orange cells, and the numbers printed on the black ones are all you need. Count what they count, and the board resolves itself.
Luck is never required. Every board is checked as it is generated, so the numbers you can see are always enough. If you are stuck, there is a clue you have not read yet. Boards are generated rather than shipped, which means they are never repeated and you cannot run out.
How to play
Orange marks a cell you have not decided yet. Mark each one blue or black, and when no orange is left you have won. Pick blue or black at the bottom of the screen, then tap a cell.
The numbers on black cells are the key. There are six kinds of them, and the game walks you through each one before your first board. There is no undo: a wrong tap stays as a mistake, and three of them end the board, so count first and tap second.
A number outside the grid counts the blue cells in that whole line. Tap it and the line it belongs to lights up.
