Color Slide Hexa Puzzle is a colorful and surprisingly challenging take on the block-sorting genre. The hexagonal grid adds a layer of complexity that you don't find in standard square-based puzzles. Your goal is to slide stacks of colored hexagons to fill specific patterns, and the way the pieces interact—merging and shifting as you move them—requires a high level of spatial reasoning. It’s a perfect 'waiting room' game: quick to start, easy to pause, but mentally engaging.
The visual presentation is clean and satisfying. There is a tactile 'pop' to the pieces when they click into place that makes solving a difficult level feel rewarding. The difficulty curve is well-paced, introducing new mechanics like locked tiles or multi-colored stacks just as you start to get comfortable. While it follows the typical ad-supported model of casual games, the puzzles themselves are thoughtfully designed and offer a great workout for your brain.

Look at the target pattern before you move any stacks. Since you move entire stacks at once, one wrong slide can block the path for other colors. Think two steps ahead to avoid getting stuck.
If you slide a stack of the same color into another, they will merge. Use this to clear up space on the board and reach distant targets that require more tiles.
Yes, there is an undo button that allows you to backtrack if you realize you've made a mistake.
The deeper you get into the game, the game purposefully gives you unplayable stacks to fill your board causing you to lose any streak. This is more prominent when you try to compete in the event because you start winning again when you don’t have a streak going on. The game seems to try to force you to buy tools (which cost real money when you can’t advance levels). The game does a good job of making the game stacks seem random but it becomes more obvious that isn’t the case as it introduces color stacks with its top tile being a color that isn’t on the board yet. It’s not all bad, the game is great for time killing but be prepared to feel like the game is cheating you as the game progresses. I did buy the ad-free version and contrary to many reviews, I haven’t had a single ad since.
I love it honestly. there are a lot of different options for this type of hexa game, but this has been my favorite one. I am on level 185. — Well, the other night I had purchased 150 coins as a base to start a coins savings. After 2 levels the coins disappeared. I thought I was losing my mind and thought maybe it didn’t work? So i purchased again. I made sure to not touch the coins at all and after 2 levels the coins disappeared again. I sent an email and customer service told me that I spent them on moves and there was nothing they could do. I assured them that there was some sort of glitch, I did not use the coins either time. I also had coins in my account already. So you’re telling me I used 500+ coins on 4 levels? I assured them that I really did not use them and I wouldn’t lie over a couple dollars. I never got a reply. It’s really disappointing because I want to continue the game but I am too scared to buy more coins not knowing if they would disappear but also knowing if they do customer service would be no help. — i will just take it as a loss, it’s only a couple dollars. but it’s super disappointing I couldn’t get help.
I love the game itself but the ad content is REALLY bad making it unsuitable for children. I have several times now see ad for sexually perverted stories for reading. If you are a parent trying to figure out if this is a child friendly game just know this is something your child will be exposed to if playing this game. I wouldn’t mind the ads so much if they keep the content children friendly as this almost completely ruins the game experience for me. Update to say the developers reached out to me and said they will take a look into this as they want their content to be child friendly. I definitely appreciate their willingness to check into this. Only time will tell if they follow through with making ad content more child friendly. Personally I deleted the app as I didn’t want my children or myself exposed to inappropriate ads. I miss the game but it just wasn’t worth exposing myself or my children to inappropriate ads.
This game could be 5 stars - the actual gameplay is fun - if it didn’t feel like it was designed to make you fail over and over just to push you into spending money. Maybe I’m just really bad at the game, but some levels genuinely seem impossible, especially if you don’t have any tools/power-ups (which are already really hard to get in the first place). For example, if I get three grey tiles and have nowhere to place them, I’ll use the fan/swap power-up, and half the time it just gives me three more grey tiles. So what was the point of using it? At that point, I either fail the level or have to spend money on more power-ups. I did that the first few times - $2 here, then $5, then another $2, and so on - but I’m done spending money on this game. It honestly feels designed to frustrate players into repeatedly failing the same level until they finally pay to get past it, which is a shame.
I really wanted to like this game. The core mechanic is fun and engaging. The problems are numerous and are as follows: 1. No easily identifiable rule book or instructions. The game seems to have a good internal logic, but I couldn’t find where the game never explains how this logic works, meaning that one can set up elaborate plays that sometimes seem to work and sometimes do not. This leads to colossally disappointing moments. 2. The game has optional tiles you can unlock by watching ads. Despite being optional, these tiles often feel required to completing puzzles. So the “optional” ads are required. 3. The games Algorithm seems either capricious or hostile. The game randomly assigns you tiles each round to distribute strategically on the game board. Some of the tiles seem carefully thought out based on your board placement. Others seem to be assigned based on your board situation from one or two turns ago. It feels like the game alternates from giving you solutions to your puzzle to deciding to give you trash in hopes it will force you to watch an ad. Good plays from good tiles after being forced to watch an add feel patronizing and are never fulfilling. There is an option to pay a small fee to remove ads, but other reviews suggest some ads remain, and based on the free version of the game, I don’t feel the developer has earned my money here. In conclusion, I assume there is a great game here. It is buried under obtuse rules, a hostile algorithm, and mountains of ads for trash. So that game remains buried.
Ad exit prompts are very small. Tapping the first and end exit prompts other than in the exact center (on an iPhone) opens the App Store product page. That happens with each tap repetitively until the tap center placement is precise enough to advance. There is sometimes an additional middle exit prompt that is inoperably frozen on a black screen. This seems to appear on any random ad product. The information icon, a very small “i” in a very small circle in the lower left corner (similarly provided by most ad agencies) does not open a reporting form for indecent/broken ads but only opens the ad agency’s privacy policy. Other than those issues, it is a basic color hex game. It functions smoothly and I have not encountered any bugs (in first 72 levels) While there are some small completion competitions are no actual side games. The difficulty is progressive. There seem to be more mandatory ads than optimal but none interrupt a game round. There are 2 optional ads for an extra hex each during the rounds. My game app is now frozen at a center exit prompt one time too many and I am deleting.
This was a genius idea for getting people to watch ads. I play a lot of phone games. This one is like if Tetris only gave you shapes that didn’t fit together at the end so you’ll lose and have to watch an ad. If you aren’t watching ads then you’ll get 4 colors three times in a row and then the opposite colors for the spaces left! I have four spaces that could only match with four possible colors, but the next plates couldn’t possibly fit anywhere! Ut oh, watch an ad! They don’t tell you what colors are coming next so you can’t even plan. So what if you arrange them to where you have multiple options…green, blue, pink, purple, yellow….the next colors are pink, baby blue, black, and red. You can almost guess what colors are gonna be next because they will be whatever color won’t fit and will make you lose and watch an ad. I got pretty far in the game but now it’s time to erase
The game is not bad, but they’ve placed the power up buttons right by the tiles you have to play — so it’s very hard to avoid accidentally playing the power ups when you touch the tiles; a hair off (if that — not even sure I was off), and they take your coins to play a power up. I’ve lost literally hundreds of coins that way, much worse since I’ve only had one functioning hand. They just snatch the coins away. And not infrequently, they switch the playing tiles for more of the exact same colors! Also, once I paid for no ads, the game suddenly got much harder — most levels are nearly impossible to beat without a power up — which I don’t have because they’ve taken them. It feels like one big scam. What started out as a decent hex stacking game has turned into a frustrating exercise in futility.
