CONNECT is a charmingly simple yet engaging puzzle game developed and published by Applied Structures. Released in February 2021, this indie title invites players into a world of logic and spatial reasoning on a unique hexagonal board.
The core gameplay revolves around manipulating different types of tiles to guide signals. Players will encounter Sources, which emit colored signals in specific directions, and Pipes, which act as conduits to relay these signals to adjacent tiles.
The challenge escalates with the introduction of Rotators, a rarer tile type that affects all surrounding tiles, altering their orientation and thus the flow of signals. Both Sources and Pipes can be rotated by simple clicks, while activating Rotators unleashes their unique effect.
This game offers a refreshing take on the puzzle genre, focusing on clear mechanics and satisfying problem-solving. Its 2D presentation keeps the focus squarely on the intricate patterns and connections players must forge.
