In order not to the board to fill up, it is important to think. ***Basics of HOW TO PLAY*** ・ Blocks are erased when you gather more blocks than the number written on the block. ・ Turn the blocks at the bottom around by tapping them. ・ Earn a higher score by erasing multiple numbers at once! (NUMBER LINK) ・ Once you've earned a high score, you will be able to press the C button in the upper right corner at regular intervals. You can select which number you'd like to erase from the board, so this can save you from a tight spot. In this PN Style 2, in addition to the above rules that gained popularity in the previous game, the new elements [STONE] come in. ***Rule of STONE*** ・When a block disappears next to a stone, the number written on the stone decreases, and it finally disappears when it reaches 0 or below. ・If you erase the stone by lowering the number written on it exactly to 0, you will get the EXACT point bonus!

Think you're smarter than a mindless iPhone app? Think again! HEXPAWN is just that: a computer that fits in your pocket and knows almost nothing. What does it know? Only the moves a pawn can make in chess. Oh yeah, and one other thing. Like the proverbial elephant or your seventh grade algebra teacher, it never forgets. So play HEXPAWN. You'll probably win the first few games. But every time you win, HEXPAWN remembers. And it will never make the same mistake twice... which means eventually, HEXPAWN will be impossible to defeat. Don't believe me? Go ahead. Try. See how long you can last against this brainless robot. I bet it won't be long. Enjoy this small dip into the world of machine learning and the eventual domination of the human race at the hands of our machine overlords.
