Hex: Anxiety Relief Relax Game

The perfect game to relax your mind while also keeping it entertained.

Time wasting gold

I don’t ever write reviews but I love this game so much. It genuinely has been such a relief knowing I have something that can help calm me down when I’m anxious! Only idea/recommendation I have is a dark mode!

I’m playing this game because I’ve got ADHD and it helps me stop. Having a constantly bouncing icon demanding I pay attention to it is brain torture.

Such a zen app, love it for down time in the middle of the night when I’m trying to get back to sleep. PLEASE add a dark mode!!!!

It’s a shame that I can’t rate this higher because the game itself is very good but it’s inexcusable to trick people into paying for ad removal and then continuing to have ads.

This concept is fun, but I’m disappointed. I paid for the full version thinking it would mean no ads but there’s an icon in the corner that blinks constantly to push you to watch an ad. Defeats the purpose of a relaxing game and I regret spending the money.

You can’t figure it out.. no hints or help..

I literally just started and I already love it. The music is great, but I would love a high contrast mode or dark mode when I’m playing at night. I turn my brightness down all the way and the colors are still a bit too bright for my sensitive eyes. If included I’d love to give 5 stars, but right now it’s very difficult for me to continue playing.

There’s so much to love about this game; it truly feels as though it was created with stress relief in mind, and that comes through in lots of small details. In particular, I appreciate that there’s no move counter and there are no ratings on levels–so many times games seem to be built to frustrate you into spending money, and this is the polar opposite of that. When playing, there’s no reason to try to finish in a limited number of moves: the steady background music is soothing, each move makes pretty sound (slightly varied from each other), and the loops look satisfying as they come together, even in configurations where some things don’t connect. When you finish the level the sound effect and flood of color is satisfying, and the transition to the next level when you touch the screen is also smooth. The sounds and transitions here even remind me of Monument Valley (which is a high compliment!) Overall, I thought I was giving this game a try as something a bit more soothing and less frustrating than a lot of mobile games, but instead within minutes I had finally stopped feeling so tense and anxious from my day. I also keep turning the sound on for it, which I just about never do. I can easily see myself going back to the beginning if I run out of levels. If you’re on the fence, I recommend giving it a go :) P.S. I did pay to remove the ads, but less because they were too invasive and more because I was finding the game so relaxing that I didn’t want the ads to counteract that, and because I wanted to support the creators
