## What is Hexdrift?

Hexdrift is a one-thumb puzzle about a board that won't sit still.

Drag a floating hex tile onto the board. Neighbors with the same color and level merge into it and level up, and a merge that lands beside another match keeps chaining. Then the board turns one notch and loose tiles drift down into the gaps, landing on new neighbors and setting off new merges. Merge two top-level tiles and they clear. Every drop, you re-read the board.

LEVELS
Sixty levels on a winding map, in chapters that each bring something new. Every level has a goal and a set number of drops: reach a score, clear a pair of top tiles, set off a chain, or break stones. Win in fewer drops to earn up to three stars. Each chapter starts on a big board with a single color; then the colors multiply and the board shrinks, from 61 cells down to 19. Every level deals the same tiles each try, so you can learn it and beat it.

STONES
Chapter 2 drops stones on the board. They fill cells and fall with the board; merge next to one to crack it, and again to break it.

DAILY
Ninety seconds on a board everyone in the world gets the same day. No purchases touch it. Keep a streak going, see how you placed against today's players, and share a card of your result. An optional reminder tells you when a new board is up.

ENDLESS
No clock, no goal. Play until the board fills and chase your best, with fewer colors once you have beaten the levels that use them.

MADE TO BE READABLE
- One rule: same color and same rings merge, and the color always moves one step along a fixed order that stays on screen.
- Cells where your tile would merge are outlined before you drop.
- A short tutorial that teaches by playing.
- Sound and haptics you can turn off.
- Reduce Motion support, VoiceOver support, and Dynamic Type.
- Game Center leaderboards and achievements, and your progress follows you to a new phone through iCloud.
- No ads and no accounts. Notifications are optional.

Shards earned in play buy a Reroll, an Undo, a Continue or 5 more drops in Levels and Endless, never in Daily. Themes and Shard packs are optional purchases, and every theme can also be earned with Shards from play.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-13

Smoother and more stable. We added behind-the-scenes improvements that help us find and fix problems faster, and tuned a few things under the hood. Anonymous play data sharing can be switched off any time in Settings.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-09

- Out of drops on a level? Buy 5 more for 100 Shards and keep going. Two and three stars are still earned within the level's own drops.
- Undo: take back your last drop for 50 Shards, up to three times a round, in Endless and Levels. Daily stays the same for everyone.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-24

After every turn, tiles with open space below slide down one cell, and where they land they can merge and chain all over again. Tiles also clear one level sooner, so clears and big chains happen far more often.

- A new level map: follow the road through every chapter and see your stars along the way.
- Chapter 2, Stones: 30 new levels. Stones block cells and fall with the board; merge next to them to crack them, and break them for points.
- Every level now has a set number of drops, some ask for a clear, a chain or broken stones instead of a score, and winning in fewer drops earns up to three stars.
- Every merge shows the points it scored.
- Daily: one board worldwide that changes at midnight UTC, a daily streak, how you placed against today's players, and an optional reminder.
- Thirteen Game Center achievements.
- More Shards from play, a bonus for your first Daily each day, and Shards for every new star.
- Endless can be played with fewer colors once you have beaten the levels that use them.
- A new share card, and the tutorial fits smaller phones.
