Hextris

Introduction

Hextris is a fast-paced, open-source puzzle game inspired by classic arcade games like 'Tetris' and 'Super Hexagon'. The game takes place inside a spinning hexagon, where colored blocks attached to the edges fall inward towards the center. Your goal is to match these blocks by color to clear them before they reach the center, creating a challenging and addictive gameplay loop that tests both reaction speed and strategic planning.

Gameplay

The core gameplay revolves around matching colors. Blocks of different colors (red, blue, green, yellow, purple, etc.) fall from the six sides of the hexagon towards the center. To clear blocks and prevent a game over, you must rotate the hexagon to line up three or more blocks of the same color in a connected sequence. Creating matches removes those blocks and causes any blocks above them to fall inward. The game becomes progressively faster, and special blocks like 'combo blocks' or 'time blocks' may appear, adding to the challenge. The game ends when any block reaches the very center of the hexagon.

Controls

The game has simple, intuitive controls designed for both keyboard and mouse/touch. On a desktop, use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys to rotate the hexagon clockwise or counter-clockwise. Alternatively, you can click and drag your mouse left or right across the game screen to rotate it. On touchscreen devices, simply swipe left or right on the screen. The only goal is to survive as long as possible by clearing blocks and achieving the highest score you can.
