Hextris: Fast-Paced Hexagonal Color Matching
Hextris is an exhilarating and hypnotic hexagonal puzzle game developed by Logan Engstrom and Garrett Finucane. Inspired by the spatial puzzle mechanics of Tetris, Hextris shifts the playing field into dynamic 360-degree radial geometry.
Blocks of varying colors converge inward toward a central rotating hexagon from all six outer edges. By rotating the central hexagon, players catch falling blocks on its six faces, matching 3 or more blocks of the same color in a row to clear them from the board.
As your score climbs, the pace of incoming blocks accelerates, creating intense cascades of color combos. Prevent blocks from stacking beyond the outer gray boundary ring to set unbeatable high scores.
How to play Hextris
- Use the Left and Right Arrow keys (or A and D) to rotate the central hexagon 60 degrees.
- Position the hexagon so incoming colored blocks land on matching colors.
- Connect 3 or more blocks of the same color on a face to clear them and trigger chain combo points.
- Keep lines clear and prevent block stacks from breaching the outer hexagonal border.
Tips for winning and high scores
- Clear combos: dropping a block that causes multiple faces to clear simultaneously awards massive multiplier scores.
- Keep all six faces relatively even; letting one single face stack too high leaves you vulnerable to fast incoming rushes.
- Anticipate incoming colors: look at the outer edges of the screen to prepare your rotation before blocks arrive.
- Use quick double taps to rotate the hexagon 180 degrees quickly when matching colors on opposite sides.
