How to play Hexoboy

- Follow the on-screen prompts. The developer describes the controls like this: Use arrows to move and spacebar to jump
- Read the whole level before your first move. Identify the goal, then look for the forced moves that must happen regardless.

Tips and tricks
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
