About

Hex7

Features
Read full description

Hex7 is a hexagonal drop-and-match puzzle that's easy to learn and hard to put down. Slide numbered hexes into the board from any of its 42 entry lanes. A hex pops the moment its number matches the count of hexes touching it. Every pop can tip its neighbors over the edge, chaining into waves that multiply your score. Set up big cascades, clear the whole board for a bonus, and chase your best run. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: The pressure builds. Every pop chips away at the hexes around it, and a heavy "pillar seven" periodically drops into the loneliest corner of the board as a lasting obstacle. The pace tightens the longer you last, so every run becomes a race against a rising tide. How long can you hold out? • Calm: Pure match-and-chain, no pressure. Just you, the board, and the satisfying rhythm of clearing hexes. Perfect for unwinding. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Simple one-tap controls — aim, drop, done • Deep scoring: chain waves and multi-clears stack into massive combos • Two distinct moods on one clean board • Crisp, colorful, minimalist design • Local high scores for each mode • Plays offline, anywhere • No account, no sign-up, no nonsense Prefer a clean screen? A one-time "Remove Ads" purchase turns off ads forever. Drop a hex. Start a chain. Beat your best.
