Read full description

HexShift is a hex grid puzzle game that rewards smart thinking and fast instincts. Rotate tiles, build chains, and shatter clusters before the board collapses around you. Easy to learn. Impossible to master. Three ways to play: — Classic: Build chains, manage bombs, and survive the pressure as the board gets harder the longer you last — Timed: Score attack against the clock — every cluster you shatter buys you more time — Hardcore: One miss ends your run. The board shrinks every 10 moves. No mercy. Features: — Satisfying chain combo system with up to 6x multipliers — Special tiles including bombs, locked tiles, mystery tiles, prisms and more — Daily challenges with a streak system — Global leaderboards via Game Center — 9 colours that unlock as your score climbs — Clean neon aesthetic with full sound design Free to play. One optional purchase to remove ads forever.
