Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Hex is a simple game where two players race to connect their sides of the board. The winner is the first to build a solid path connecting their two sides. Play locally against a computer or pass the device between friends (*ahem* rivals). Further your game by logging in with Google+ to unlock achievements and play online. Settings give you the option to create your own customized house rules. Change the board size from 4x4 to 30x30, enable (or disable) first move swap, and set a timer for speed runs. If you want to try your hand at Android development, the app is 100% open sourced here: http://xlythe.github.io/Hex/ Credits: Graphical Designer: Nicholas Bourdakos Backend Developer: Sam Laane UI/Android Developer: William Harmon Support Designer: Sean VanPelt

Hex APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is Hex free?

The APK is free to download, but the game offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

Is the Hex APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b3e9622e741799b946eb1016130b1181.
