cool logic
Nice, challenging hexagonal puzzle game.
Dexodonex is yet another construction kit template copy+paste from serial shovelware pushers, Volens Nolens Games/Enoops. These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs. Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates, assets... at best, this is shovelware, at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.
This time it's a basic mobile app that seems to have been taken wholesale from some other real developer and dumped on Steam and mobile app stores (and then removed from the app stores, presumably Google and Apple found out who the developer was and immediately pulled the games). Gameplay is just a basic pathing puzzle where you put your finger on your iPhone screen and fill in all the hexes. Boring, shallow stuff from an asset flip scammer.
Volens Nolens Games/Enoops have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself:
- "Book of Shadows" = Polygon Western - Low Poly 3D Art Pack developed by Synty Studios (as Enoops)
- "Deadly Threat" = POLYGON Dungeons - Low Poly 3D Art by Synty developed by Synty Studios (as Enoops)
- "Little Adventure" = AB1 - Fantasy Platformer bundle developed by Yoyogames (as Enoops)
- "Little Adventure 2" = AB1 - Fantasy Platformer bundle developed by Yoyogames (as Enoops)
[*] "Mighty Vikings" = Polygon Vikings Pack developed by Synty Games (as Enoops)
Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision.
The mobile app features extremely lazy, minimalist "art", of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.
The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here.
Because this is a mobile app, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the iPhones that the mobile app was designed for. These are unfortunate handicaps and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was an afterthought for the iPhone developers who are to blame for this. The mobile app is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for mobile phones forces upon a game. Once more, mobile devs have made gaming worse for everyone. I didn't spend thousands on building a gaming rig just so I could pretend it's an iPhone.
Some of the defects in the mobile app can be attributed to the choice of using the video game construction kit/toolset, Microsoft XNA Game Studio. This is a very poor quality toolset sometimes used by amateur/unskilled developers as it doesn't require advanced game development skills, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine.
These technical defects push this mobile app below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
You don't have to take my word about how bad the mobile app is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. Dexodonex has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the mobile app absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for for completing the first tutorial level, trivial to achieve, but less than 4 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the mobile app. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this mobile app was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the mobile app. But this isn't consistent with the achievement stats, that show less than 4 percent of players bothered playing the mobile app for any reasonable amount of time. How is it possible for this mobile app to have so many concurrent players who weren't even playing the mobile app? Trading cards. Players will use card idling software to collect the cards and sell them, but this won't trigger any achievements in-game. That tells us people only really bought this mobile app for trading cards, and that's a damning indictment of the woeful quality. A closer look at the numbers shows the mobile app just has a couple of players every week running up the mobile app and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
Once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to scam PC gamers. On Steam, this is $1 USD, on app stores, it was free. Mobile devs must learn PC gamers are not here to be gouged, and can't be expected to pay a premium for a free mobile app just because it's been lazily dumped on Steam. This is unacceptable disrespect for PC gamers. Because this could have been played free elsewhere, and because of the other defects, and the unethical nature of the developer, it's impossible to recommend. Who do they think we are?
Dexodonex
10/10
dexodonex should've been called hexodonex because it's hex-based, something I'm very fond of. it contains 61 levels, unlocked one by one, but no instructions or tutorial, gotta figure it out yourself. a single screen with a couple of sentences would've been enough and easy enough to implement, though it's not all that complicated. it's kinda like a draw a single line game, but with branching paths. there's a level editor if you're feeling creative, but I couldn't access it for some reason.
the goal is to spread the starting hexagon(s) in the configuration shown. don't even need to select them unless you want to deal with a specific one without the others butting in, just click on valid move options shown by the game. dragging is also possible with either mouse button, but only to the adjacent cell, can't create a path, so it's pointless. moving in a straight line is just that, moving at angles creates branches, but you can't take a 'sharp turn'. misclicks are fine, undo available and it works from a complete fail state, there's a short grace period. undo and level reset should be instant though and there are no hotkeys.
the timer (not counting down) can't be turned off and it's entirely pointless (as always), since the 5-star rating is based solely on the amount of help used, including undo. undo itself is unlimited but using it even once takes a star away. 3 types of helpers are available, one shows a possible move, stone covers a random hex to mark it as dealt with and energy cell basically adds another starting point. they're not per-level and in very limited quantity, but 5-starring 4 levels in a row awards one randomly. I don't like to get penalized for undo and things can get pretty tedious otherwise with all the restarts, especially towards the end, so didn't bother 5-starring everything. though difficulty is uneven, some levels near the end are much easier than a few others before.
the game always starts in a resizable window and there's no full screen toggle, have to press alt+enter every single time. no volume settings, only separate toggles for the really loud but otherwise good music and annoying sound effects. a few languages to choose from (there's barely any text though), and all this is also available from the pause menu while playing a level. there's a level select screen, but pages can only be browsed one by one, clicking page 5 for direct access, for example, doesn't work.
on release it cost 2 eur, then went up to 37 (THIRTY-SEVEN!) eur ($40), then down to 5 before it landed on the current 79 euro cents. a developer like this is clearly not worth supporting, and with all the issues, annoyances and lack of quality of life the game can't be recommended anyway. it could've easily been much better with a bit more polish the dev promised but never delivered. and there's an achievement for every single level, always annoying, though it only pops for a 5-star solution.
no its bad
Good puzzler at times very hard but only in 6 or 7 levels,the rest of the levels were a good challenge also.
One negative is that sometimes at bigger maps where you have multiple path you can get lost because of the low contrast,everything seems the same so I think different colors would be a nice addition.
The gameplay is simple to learn and there is a rewind button if you made a mistake.
All in all a solid puzzle game that will at times drive you mad.
An enjoyable puzzle game but a tutorial or intro level with instructions would've been appreciated
So, if anyone happens to be looking for instructions, there are only two rules for movement.
Rule 1. You can move forward which just populates the cell you enter
Rule 2. You can turn which splits the cell you leave into multiple cells (usually 2 or 3)
Arrows are displayed on the currently active selected cell showing what cells will be populated if you follow that direction. You can have multiple cells which are selected by a mouse-click.
Once I figured out how to play the game, I was actually really into it. Puzzles are fun and for the most part fairly straight-forward but there are some that require a bit of thought or planning.
No bugs or anything bad to mention apart from the initial lack of instructions (Or is that just part of the game, hmmmmm).
Anyway, definitely worth checking out if you're a puzzle head looking to pass a few hours.
*edit*
Just wanted to add that I would've have liked a timer on each level for personal best, I think the game would've got more hours out of me if I had my own time to beat, not bothered about leaderboards or anything, just like beating myself :|
Average puzzle game, well presented with decent synth music and neon look/feel. Too hard for me though. If you like a challenge get it in the sale.
A true challenge.
Definitely interesting puzzle concept, but needs quite a bit of work. Needs instructions, the animation is atrocious, and the rewind sound might be the most annoying thing I have ever heard. Also very glitchy, I closed the game and steam said it was running hours later, I have about 30 mins in this game but Steam says 12 hours. Charging $5 for this is an insult.
Do not buy unless -90%
Poor mobile port lacking instructions and full screen.
Having completed 25 of 61 or 63 levels, I find it thoroughly enjoyable and definitely recommend it. For me, the earlier levels (around 1-10) were more difficult than those that came afterward, but that's probably because I was getting used to the rules and wasn't thinking about the moves properly. It's very easy to overlook something, make one mistake, and have to restart the level (or use the "undo" button and lose a star from the level "score"). That's not necessarily a bad thing, as it trains your mind to think better and generate the paths correctly.
The hardest part of this game is keeping track of the multiple branches and determining in which order you need to populate the cells. Some levels can be difficult, but once you get used to the rules, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Whether or not it's worth the price (full price, sale, price, etc) -- it has taken me 1.5 hours to get through the first 33% (a lot of this was restarting because I was getting used to the rules). Now that I'm used to the rules, each level is taking between 45 seconds and 2 minutes.
You need to be SMART for this game!
p.s. I'm stuck on level 21 by the way :/
Nice puzzle game with only a couple of rules to learn, but can create extremely complicate to resolve puzzles - you have to fill in the entire grid from a given start point (later puzzles can have multiple start points to work with) by choosing any of the three hexes ahead of each branch of the path you are creating, if you go straight ahead then only that hex is filled, if you turn left or right it will fill in both, if they are not blocked.
This means you can rapidly start creating a branching path, and you need to decide which branch to expand first, and in which direction to go to avoid cutting off areas from being filled in.
While nothing gets added to this apart from some later puzzles having multiple starting parts to consider/use to your advantage as needed, the concept is strong enough to create enough interesting and different puzzles to last a while (depending on how quickly you get your head around the way you need to attack each level).
So overall a fairly nice puzzle game that will keep you thinking for a while, probably not a huge amount of replayability though.
A fine little puzzle game with unusual mechanics. You need to build your way around a level touching all nodes. Confusing initially, as the rules could use a bit of explaining, and the in-game help is buggy - however, if you think in terms of always moving -forward- from a node / hex, then it'll be soon obvious which are the valid directions. Even some of the first levels offer a decent challenge - will update this review after playing through all the game.
(note: I want to drop a recommendation ASAP, since the positive reviews are not showing in the game evaluation summary due to being by people who got the game from outside Steam)
Update: having played through the entire game, I have to add that the difficulty curve is absolutely dumbfounding. Until level 11, the difficulty gradually increases, and one starts to wonder where it leads until level 61. Then starting from level 12, there are 30+ puzzles that you simply breeze through. From level 44, the difficulty ramps up again, and the game rewards the patient player with 10-12 excellent puzzles. The last 5-6 levels are again easy. Go figure...
This game needs some sort of tutorial/help system. Very confusing.
