Hello, TIGForum!
I want to share with you my second puzzle game for Android - Hexadots.
Few words about what was done.
I decided not to use game engines like Unity and implement everything using just standard Android SDK. Also, I tried not to use any libs and create all logic and algorithms for the hexagonal field by myself.
Previously I didn't have experience creating the design, all I did before - to implement what others have drawn. Thank God I found Figma. It has a low entry threshold.
Main gameplay features:
+ Classic connecting the same color dots or objects mechanic;
+ Game field is hexagonal grids;
+ 4 game modes. Each brings unique game objects and the way you can interact with them. Each mode requires a unique tactic to succeed.
+ Survival game mode. The difficulty of the game is gradually increasing. It will not be boring.
+ Power-ups for critical situations.
In total, it took me 5 months to develop. I worked on this game in the evenings and weekends. 4 months for main logic, game features, and basic UI/UX + 1 month with a designer for the final improvements.
By the way, I have screenshots of how the design has changed after I start work with a designer.

I want to ask you for advice on some questions:
1) What do you think about gameplay? What is good and bad?
2) How to increase the replayability of the game?
