Seems to be trend nowadays, pre-release the puzzler as a flash demo to garner up cravings from unsuspecting puzzle-gamers… This one is quite simple, try to turn all the hexagons to white by clicking on a hexagon. There are a set number of moves the puzzle can be solved in, you can go past it but usually it’s easier to just reset the puzzle and try again.
