Games like hexcells

Hexcells is a puzzle video game series developed and published by British designer Matthew Brown. There are three games in the series: Hexcells, Hexcells Plus, and Hexcells Infinite.

The gameplay of each installment in Hexcells is similar to Minesweeper. Each level contains a grid of hexagonal orange tiles. Under each tile hides a shape that is coloured either blue or black. The player left-clicks a tile if they think it is blue and right-clicks if they think it is black. Each black tile and some blue tiles display a number which represents how many blue tiles it is bordering. The objective of each level is to locate all of the blue tiles with the fewest mistakes.

At the top of each row, column and diagonal in each level there is a number which displays how many blue tiles there are in that section. These numbers, as well as the numbers inside the blue or black tiles, may have symbols surrounding them: curly brackets ({}) show that the neighbouring blue shapes are conjoined, and hyphens (-) show that they are not.
