Hexa is an easy to learn puzzle game with a unique concept that is simple yet engaging.
The game features a level editor and random level generator, providing long-term entertainment and customization options.
It runs well on multiple platforms, including Linux, and has received positive feedback for its minimalist design.

The game lacks challenging levels, with many being easily solvable and the main content being relatively short.
There are some UI and control issues, such as difficulty distinguishing colors and a lack of intuitive level editor functionality.
The absence of features like dark mode and limited profile options detracts from the overall experience.

The game runs well on Linux and offers resolution options, including a resizable window in windowed mode. However, users report bugs related to transitioning between windowed and full-screen modes, where elements do not resize properly, leading to a frustrating experience.
- “Runs great on Linux.”
- “There are resolution options and you can play in windowed mode by pressing alt+enter or toggling it in the menu, which produces a resizable window, but it's a bit buggy: going back to full screen doesn't resize elements, so if you make a small window where only 5 levels are visible on the level select screen, for instance, then go back to full screen, you'll still only see 5 levels with a scrollbar in the middle of the screen.”

The music aspect of the game has received criticism for featuring only a clicking sound with no actual music present. However, a recent patch has introduced an audio on/off toggle, allowing players to disable the sound if desired.
- “As for the audio, there's only a clicking sound, no music, but an audio on/off toggle got patched in.”

The latest patch has improved gameplay by introducing a menu for level resets and navigation, moving closer to a mouse-only experience; however, players still need to use the keyboard for character movement.
- “After the latest patch, mouse-only gameplay is almost achieved. There's a menu where you can reset the level or go back to the menu, but moving around is still only possible with the keyboard.”
