A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Okay, it’s fair to say I went on about Hexcells rather a lot in 2014. The reason? It remains the best puzzle game I’ve ever played. And I play puzzle games. …
I wasn t subtle about how much I enjoyed Hexcells last year. The original Hexcells appeared from nowhere in my inbox in September, and I fell instantly in love. The second game, Hexcells Plus, arrived in December, after we d already decided the original deserved a spot in our top games of 2013. I ve replayed both games multiple times, because it s a puzzle game of exquisite pleasure, delivered with calm poise and utter beauty. I was primed to think I might quite like Hexcells Infinite. Here s wot I think: …
If for some reason you were wanting to play Hexcells, because it’s the best new puzzle game this decade, but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it without its being on Steam, all is now resolved. Matthew Brown’s sublime puzzlers are on the big grey store for 2 each, or the pair for 3.50. …
Hexcells and Hexcells Plus are Now Available on Steam! Hexcells is an ambient logic puzzle game for PC, Mac and Linux. Hexcells Plus, a standalone expansion to Hexcells, contains 36 new and more challenging puzzles.
