HexaLink Puzzle arrives on LG webOS as a free hexagonal twist on the path-connection puzzle format that mobile players know from Flow Free and its many imitators. Developer HexaBrain has built a small, focused game: a grid of hex cells, coloured endpoints, and the simple objective of connecting each pair without crossing the others. There is no story, no character, no progression metagame — just boards.
That restraint is the most interesting thing about it. Smart-TV puzzle apps tend to either pile on slot-machine reward loops or shovel in a half-dozen mini-games of varying quality. HexaLink does one thing, and the thing it does is the one that actually suits the Magic Remote: point, drag, release. The hex grid adds a third axis of movement compared to a square-grid puzzler, which opens slightly more interesting routing choices on the larger boards without requiring the player to learn anything new.
It will not absorb a weekend. It is the kind of puzzle game you finish a board of while the kettle boils, then forget about until tomorrow. On a platform where the alternative is usually a mahjong clone with aggressive interstitials, that is not nothing.

FEATURES
HexaLink Puzzle is a hexagonal path-connection game. Each board presents a grid of hex cells with coloured endpoints scattered across it; the goal is to draw a path from each endpoint to its matching pair without crossing other paths, usually filling every cell on the board in the process. The genre is well-worn — Flow Free on mobile is the reference point — and HexaLink is the hex-grid variant.
On LG webOS, the controls map to the Magic Remote: point at a coloured endpoint, hold the wheel-click, drag along the cells you want to connect, release. Difficulty scales by grid size and endpoint count; early boards are 4×4 with three pairs, later boards push past 8×8 with seven or more. The app is free with no listed in-app purchases on the LG store, and includes the usual TV-app banner-ad placement between levels.
No account, no cloud save, no leaderboards — progress sits on the TV. Three preview screenshots on the store page show a clean flat-coloured aesthetic with high-contrast endpoint markers, which reads well at couch distance on an OLED panel.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The Magic Remote drag mechanic is the right fit for this genre. Directional-pad versions of path-connection puzzles on Roku and Tizen feel like work; pointing at the start cell and dragging to the destination is genuinely closer to the phone interaction the format was designed around. HexaLink takes that advantage and does not over-complicate it.
Visual presentation is calm. Flat colour fills, generous spacing between hex cells, no animated background distractions — exactly what a TV puzzle app should look like when someone else in the room is watching something on a second device.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
Depth is thin. The hex-grid twist on path-connection adds a third direction of travel but does not fundamentally change the strategy, and after a couple of evenings most players will have seen what the game has to offer. There is no daily puzzle, no timed mode, no theme packs — features that competing hex puzzlers on phones lean on to keep players returning.
Lack of cloud progress is a real cost on a shared family TV. Anyone in the household clearing the cache or another profile loading the app starts from scratch.
CONCLUSION
HexaLink Puzzle is a reasonable free puzzle filler for an LG webOS TV — a category that is otherwise dominated by mahjong clones and slot-machine simulators, so the bar is low and HexaLink clears it. Install if you want a quiet hex-grid logic game to chip at during commercial breaks. Look elsewhere if you want progression that survives a profile switch or a metagame that pulls you back tomorrow.
