Welcome Hex Warriors! Hex Takeover is a turned-based strategy game played on different hexagonal boards. The objective is simple: conquer the most tiles to win. How To Play: During your turn tap on any of your tiles to chose your next move. Tiles can be cloned to adjacent spaces or they can jump to further spaces. Landing near opponent tiles will convert their tiles into yours! Cloning and Jumping have different implications on your strategy. Cloning a piece means that you get more tiles of your color on the board. Jumping sometimes could be beneficial if you spot enemy pieces further away but want to conquer them. The game ends when the board is filled up with tiles! Seems easy right? Let's put your skills to the test! Hex Takeover has simple game rules, yet the game can be quite a bit challenging! With different levels and varying difficulties, there are tons of different strategies to explore. Through very satisfying and calming gameplay, explore the map and encounter new enemies and challenges! Can you explore the entire map and unlock new characters to play as?
Sparrows on Clotheslines
Read full descriptionHide full description
Sparrows on Clotheslines is a cozy, one-finger physics hopper. You're a little brown sparrow making its way across a sun-warmed storybook city — hopping along sagging clotheslines, gliding between terracotta rooftops, and snacking to keep your wings going. It's all one finger: • On a line or a roof — stand still to rest, hold to walk, tap to jump. • In the air — hold to fly up and forward, release to glide. Flying is fast but drains your energy. • Walk off the edge of a clothesline and you flow straight into flight — no extra buttons. Energy is the whole game. Flying across a gap is quick but costly; walking the line is slow but free. The only way to refuel is to EAT — snap up crumbs and seeds strung along the lines to top up your energy bar. Run out of energy in mid-air and you'll tumble, so plan your hops and keep your beak fed. Drift across a multi-level network of clotheslines strung between buildings, each line swaying and bending under your weight. Keep an eye out for trouble: cats lounging on the rooftops, magpies cutting across the gaps, and flowerpots tipped from glowing windows. • Cozy storybook art — soft blue skies, drifting clouds, pastel laundry and warm rooftops • Simple, gentle one-finger controls anyone can pick up • Endless, relaxing runs — perfect for 2 to 10 minutes • Instant restart, never punishing • A journey through changing cities and seasons No accounts, no nonsense — just a calm little flight from rooftop to rooftop. How far can your sparrow glide?
