How to play
Click or tap a tile to rotate it by one position. Continue rotating tiles until all coloured paths form complete connections between their endpoints. There is no penalty for trial-and-error; the game simply records whether each level is complete. Levels are categorised by difficulty; harder levels have more tiles and more colours.

Editor review
Hex Connect is a Flow Free variant on a hexagonal grid. Each puzzle has coloured endpoints. You draw paths to connect each colour's endpoints. Paths can't cross. All cells must be filled when you're done. Honestly, I love this genre. The hex variant has different topology than the standard square grid (each cell has six neighbours instead of four, so path choices are richer) and the puzzles end up substantively different from Flow Free.
The 200 puzzle pack is well-curated. Difficulty ramps gradually from 5-cell warm-ups to 60-cell beasts that took me five-to-eight minutes each at the hardest. Solutions are unique (a property the puzzle community calls "fair") and the hint system reveals one segment of the solution at a time instead of giving you the whole answer.
Where I'd push back: the visual design is sparse. Hex tiles, dots, paths, no animations to speak of. That's it. A bit more visual interest would help on the longer puzzles where you're staring at the same arrangement for several minutes. Four stars. Quality puzzle pack, room for visual polish.
