Twist the hexagons to make a complete path that includes a pulsing gem. It looks simple, but it's quietly fiendish. The longer the path, the more points you score, but if you take too long, the gem will overload in a ball of fire!

Completely rewritten from scratch, it modernises the classic game for the gorgeous, high-resolution screens of the latest devices. Hexterity: Get Your Hexag On!
