The Hexcells series is well known among the PC space as some of the best logic puzzlers on the platform and soon iOS owners will be also able to experience Hexcells' minimalist challenges.

On Twitter, developer Matthew Brown teased the first Hexcells running on iPad. He hopes to release the game sometime next month, and plans to bring the two other Hexcells games to mobile as well.

Hexcells plays like a mix of Minesweeper and Picross; each level presents you with a grid of yellow and black hexagons. Numbers on the black hexagons tell you how many blue tiles are around it. Later levels introduce more mechanics, such as Picross-style markings that tell you how many adjacent tiles are in a column.

Using that knowledge, you can solve all of Hexcells' puzzles without ever guessing and never making a mistake.

Hexcells should be coming to iOS devices in April. You can also find the game and its sequels on Steam.
