Simple, casual game to play when you have a break in work and need to reset your brain or travel in a bus and need something to do. Not extremely easy, not really hard. Just poking colourful hexagons around. If you want a challenge, you can try puzzles/push the campaign on. If you just want to chill, re-play some of the start of the campaign.

One of the most fun and relaxing puzzle games I've ever played on Steam. Highly recommended if you love indie brain teasers. Also, the soundtrack is incredible!

Well, I own it because I enjoy all of Cipher Prime Studios other games and keep myself up to date on what they got going on... but do I enjoy it?

Nah.

It's a pretty alright game but it's just not the kind of puzzle game for me. I can respect the idea of it, as it's a little different to other puzzle games but for some reason this one just didn't strike me as fun. I always told myself to go back to it, try to complete the campaign so it can live in the puzzle category with all the other puzzle games i've completed that I'll probably never go back to.
I just can't bring myself to do it. Installing and opening this game is kind of a chore to me.

To the right people I think this game would probably be great. If you like a challenge, arn't easily deterred and have a stategic mind then you might enjoy it. For me, I like puzzle games but they have to be interesting enough to keep me pea-brain's attention.

It's nowhere near terrible, you could always give it a try.

TL;DR: Little boring won't lie.

I've owned Fractal since it was a standalone Flash game (it's since been redone in Unity) - I like the concept and I've played a fair-bit but there are some gotchas with the game as-a-whole which make it hard to recommend to others.

First-up, the game has power-ups which are not explained in any way. You're simply expected to guess what they do!? You shouldn't have to ask in the forums to find-out how a game works!?

The career mode seems designed to teach you how to play (once you figure out the power-ups) and it works upto a point, but by Level 23/24 it's descended into a horrible potluck mess of a thing. Level 24 is, imo, impossible 99% of the time - you need a very lucky layout to be able to clear it (23 isn't much better)

The game is also missing some basic features such as the ability to adjust music/sfx levels and any sort of online highscoring - this seems odd in an otherwise polished product when schoolboy designed games have this stuff?

It's all a bit disappointing really - I struggle to recommend it but I emphasise the the game at the core is a fine puzzle, it's just let down by a feeling of being half-baked and abandoned.

If you look through my library you’ll see that I’m a bit of a sucker for Cipher Primes magically atmospheric puzzle design. Splice single handedly made me realize that I don’t dislike puzzle games, I just can’t stand how bland and uninspired they have become.
It kind of saddens me to see fractal return to the mundane. The game is gorgeous, don’t get me wrong, but pushing around hexagons to make bigger hexagons and clear a board is not exactly a game changing mechanic. After only the first few levels of the “campaign” and a couple puzzle levels I was bored and back to my cynical opinions of puzzle games.
Cipher Prime is awesome and they have some great talent on their team but they gotta keep taking the risks; Fractal was a safe game and it shows in it’s stale gameplay.

Fractal is a surprisingly enjoyable brain teaser, casual, puzzle like game where you make fractals of one color. A fractal is a diamond of 7 tiles / cubes / gems / whatever. 2 on the left, 2 on the right, 3 in the center. How do you arrange them? You simply click an empty space on the grid or the border of the level. When you click that empty space, the spaces around it push out with whatever color gem you have next in your cue. Let's say green gem in your cue you will push out in all directions shifting all the gems in all directions 1 space over. Like pushing lines in 6 directions. You only get a certain amount of 'pushes' per level. To beat a level you need to get X amount of points. When you make a fractal, other gems appear in the level, which may lead to a chain of fractals or mess you up. Sometimes you need to think 2 or 3 moves ahead and when different colored gems get involved you need to make sure one move doesn't mess up something else you've been planning.

The campaign won't take more than a few hours, but I can see there being replay value in the way that Tetris is replayable. While the score isn't a big focus of the game, it still gets your brain going. There's no pressure or time limit, its soothing. The puzzle mode has several continuous puzzles.

Eventually the game throws different kinds of tiles your way. If those special tiles are in your fractals, you will get their bonuses. Things like adding more tiles to your cue, exploding all connected tiles of the same color, pushing tiles apart from the fractal and so on. It adds a needed level of depth.

Luckily there are two other modes, arcade and puzzle. Puzzle mode has you completing objectives such as making a triple fractal in X number of pushes or clearing all of the diamonds. It is a nice diversion, but hardly the meat of the game. The arcade is more of a time attack to get as many fractals in a limited amount of time. There are time tiles that will add to the clock when they're in a fractal.

Fractal feels like its more suited for relaxing with a touch screen and mobile devices rather than for people sitting in a chair at a computer. Its still an engaging and relaxing game for a while.

Very enjoyable. This game didn't last me long; I quickly reached a stage where it was just too hard to complete the levels. However, I really enjoyed it. The music is enjoyable, the graphics are very aesthetically pleasing, and the gameplay itself is simple to understand but fun to play.

I would be interested in seeing more from this developer.

A neat little puzzle/casual game. I had fun with it, though it does seem fairly luck based compared to some other ones I've played.

This is a pretty neat little puzzle game. It's something like a cross between Othello and Bejeweled. It's got some pretty great background music. If you're looking for a casual puzzler, this is a pretty good one.

Fun. Interesting. Challening. Frustrating. Satisfying. Everything you'd want in a puzzle game. ;)

No tutorial, but you learn as you go.
