Match six. Chain combos. Outsmart the board. Hexagon Cells is a relaxing yet tricky logic puzzle on an 8×10 honeycomb. Every cell has six neighbors instead of four, so every move opens up new lines. HOW TO PLAY • Move balls across the board and bring 6 balls of the same color together to clear them and score. • Combine bigger groups: join 4 and 4 balls, for example, and every ball is worth more. • Score again with your next move and you get a bonus. • After every move, new random balls appear. A preview shows where they will land. • Watch out: if a random ball completes your prepared group, it steals your combo and you get 0 points. FEATURES • Three difficulty levels: Easy (6 colors), Normal (7) and Hard (8) • Four themes: Classic, Baroque Garden, Neon and Midnight Gold • Earn coins while you play and spend them in the shop • Shop upgrades: fewer random balls, and random balls that no longer steal your points • Clear, easy-to-tell-apart ball colors in every theme • Highscore, settings and purchases stay on your device FREE TO PLAY Hexagon Cells is free and supported by ads.
