Comments on: hExistentialism iPhone/iPod Touch Game Review http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/07/03/hexistentialism-iphoneipod-touch-game-review/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Rich_F http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/07/03/hexistentialism-iphoneipod-touch-game-review/comment-page-1/#comment-38614 Rich_F Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:26:56 +0000 http://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=17056#comment-38614 I don't quite get it. There's no high score table, and nothing to stop you from getting the maximum score (30,000) if you're careful. At the least, it needs some kind of timer mechanism to give it replay value. And the instructions are non-obvious. In case people are wondering - each hex has four properties, and each property has three possible values. You need to find three hexes where, for each property, the values are either all the same, or all different. That's it. The game ensures that there's always a match to find, and finishes the game when you've done a certain number of matches. I don’t quite get it.

A little difficult at first but you get the hang of it. Definitely worth the price. This game is great. A little difficult at first but you get the hang of it. Definitely worth the price.

I agree about the learning curve, but once you are past that the addiction takes over. Thanks for posting it. Awesome game.
