Our newest game project, Who Shuffled My Shapes?, is coming out early next month! If you can't wait to get your hands on our shapes, we have a demo that is available to play for free right now! Head over to the store page to download and play.
Who Shuffled My Shapes? is a Rubik's cube-inspired game, our first step into creating puzzles in a 3D space. In order to make our game different to other digital cube games, we decided to go all-in and offer 20 different puzzles in 1 game! Multiple shapes and sizes are all included in this release. The Pyramix, Megaminx, mirror cubes and more!
So jump in and start unshuffling these shapes - With or without the added pressure of a timer to see who is the quickest!
The Free Demo will allow you to play 5 of the 20 cubes, these are:
Basic 3x3 Cube
Pyraminx Duo
Redi Cube
Kilominx
Master Kilominx

For those of you who follow our Dev Blogs, you will know that this is a game we have been working on for a number of months now.
Based on our love for mind-teasing puzzle toys, we wanted to create a fun project to bring our enjoyment to the digital world - As such, "Who Shuffled My Shapes?" was born!
What is "Who Shuffled My Shapes?"(?)
Who Shuffled My Shapes? is a mega-pack of 20 famous puzzle cubes (and other 3D shapes) for you to solve to keep your mind sharp!
Various shapes have been shuffled and your goal is to un-shuffle them back to their original layout!
Each puzzle is unique, you will have to learn each's nuances to solve them.
Sounds simple but it’s not. With some of the simpler puzzles offering over 43 quintillion possible configurations (that’s 43,000,000,000,000,000,000), finding the single correct one will be a challenge! If you do complete a puzzle, reshuffle it and try to beat your best time!
The puzzles aren't all cubes. We have made 20 different puzzles for you to enjoy, from the classic 6 sided cuboids, 4 sided pyrmainx, all the way to 12 sided megaminx's, non-symmetrical mirror cubes and more!
Follow Our Progress!
Who Shuffled My Shapes? is still in its infancy. Make sure you check out our Weekly Dev Vlogs on YouTube as well as Wishlisting the game on Steam to be kept up to date with all of the progress we make!
Milestone updates will be available here on our Website and on our Social Media links above.

In 2022 we are moving on to new projects such as new games and Nintendo Switch development, but we do not want to leave hexceed without support. As such we decided to see which direction you, the player, would like us to take hexceed.
Over the past couple of months, we have been running a strawpoll to get your input on where we should take hexceed next with a reduced allocation of development time. Over 70% of you want to see more DLC. 57% of these voters want DLC to stay at the $1 price range.
Combining your input with our own allocation of development time we have decided to go ahead with a Year 2 Pass! This Pass will be about half the size of Year 1, starting in March we are planning on adding 6 more DLC over the next 10 months with 2 new mechanics thrown in.
More details will be coming soon so keep an eye out here!
