About Hextris

Hextris is an addictive puzzle game inspired by Tetris. In Hextris, you rotate a central hexagon to catch falling colored blocks before they stack too high. Match three or more blocks of the same color to clear them and score points! Test your reflexes and strategic thinking in this fast-paced Hextris challenge.

How to Play Hextris

The objective of Hextris is to prevent the blocks from reaching the outer edge of the hexagon. Blocks fall from the top of the screen towards the central Hextris hexagon. You can rotate the hexagon left or right to move the incoming blocks into position. When three or more blocks of the same color touch, they will disappear, earning you points and clearing space. The game gets progressively faster, increasing the Hextris difficulty.
