Keep the board blooming in Hexbee, a colorful take on the classic lines puzzle. Move flowers across a hexagonal board and line up five or more of the same kind to clear space and build your score. Easy to learn, with plenty of room to plan your next move. Choose from three difficulty levels, use wildcard stars to complete a line, and keep clearing flowers before the board fills up. FEATURES • Three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium and Hard • Game Center leaderboards for each difficulty • Customizable theme colors • Music and sound effects with separate volume controls • Play on iPhone and iPad • Play the puzzle offline; Game Center and purchases require a connection • Free to play, with no ads • Seven additional themes available together through one optional in-app purchase HOW TO PLAY Tap a flower, then tap an empty space to move it there. A clear path must connect the two spaces. Make a line of at least five matching flowers in any of the three directions to clear it. A star is a wildcard and can complete a line with any flower type. If your move doesn't clear a line, three new pieces appear. Watch the upcoming pieces, leave room to move, and aim for your next high score. The game ends when the board is full.

About

Drift Moon

Features
Read full description

Drift Moon is a minimal, hypnotic arcade game set in deep space. A luminous moon revolves around a glowing star. One tap hops it outward to the next ring. Another tap brings it back. Between the rings, debris arcs drift past on slow, predictable curves. Thread the gaps. Keep going. It is easy to learn. It is hard to put down. HOW IT WORKS Tap the left half of the screen to hop your moon inward, toward the centre. Tap the right half to hop outward, toward the rim. The moon moves in a clean arc, briefly phasing through the ring transition so every hop is safe in transit. Debris spawns ahead of you, giving you time to read the pattern. At least one ring is always clear. The game is fair by design. WHAT MAKES DRIFT MOON DIFFERENT - Deep space calm: no explosions, no chaos, just a moon and a field of slowly drifting hazards - Structural fairness: the engine guarantees at least one hazard-free orbit at all times - Five cosmetic skins (Luna, Ember Giant, Aurora, Pulsar, Nebula), each a coordinated palette for your moon, trail, rings and the central body - Stardust pickups reward precision, building combo chains for higher scores - A seeded Daily Orbit so every player runs the same field on the same day DAILY ORBIT A new seeded run is generated every day. Compete on Game Center against every other player on exactly the same debris pattern. SKINS AND PROGRESSION Reach score milestones to unlock five cosmetic skins. Play looks identical across skins so readability never depends on which you choose. No pay to win, ever. PREMIUM Drift Moon is free to play. No energy timers, no subscriptions. One optional tip jar supports development and lights a warm glow beneath your orbits. Tap. Hop. Survive. One more run.
