Hexothermic isn't a terrible game. In fact, it's not even all that bad. It's just not really worth any sort of monetary transaction when there are Flash games out there that provide the cathartic chain reaction experience for no cost whatsoever. Despite a solid aural presentation, the visuals drag the production value down and the lack of anything truly outstanding means that Hexothermic will be highly unlikely to hold one's interest for more than ten minutes.
By all means, give it a try, since it's worth that much. Whether it's worth more than that, however, is questionable.
In these hard economic times I am sure most people out there are trying to save some money and spend a little less.
AATG:
"It might not have buckets of long-term appeal and repetition does set in a bit quickly in some modes, but then it was probably never designed to be something you'd spend months on. The awards feature gives it a shot in the arm longevity wise if you try to nail them all, and if your other half is anything like mine, one whiff of a puzzle game and you've lost your 360 for the evening. For 200 points (a shade over £1.70) you could do a lot worse than spend a few hours smashing atoms so give the demo a try at the very least."
