Our take on Hexes
The defining constraint is that moving one gem shifts the entire board and adds more gems, making each move alter both the arrangement and the space remaining.
What is Hexes?
Hexes is a puzzle game played on a diamond-shaped board.
Move gems to create groups of three or more gems of the same colour, causing those gems to be removed. Moving one gem also moves all gems on the board and adds more gems, so each turn changes the available positions and remaining space. Continue finding matches to prevent the board from filling up. The game ends when the board is full. Hexes focuses on planning moves around these board changes, with replayability built around trying to achieve a higher score.
How Hexes plays
- 01Board-wide movement
- Moving one gem also shifts all other gems on the board.
- 02Match-based clearing
- Groups of at least three gems with the same colour are removed.
- 03Board-filling pressure
- Each move adds more gems, and the game ends when the board is full.
