About

hexadot

Features
Read full description

One dot can change the whole board. hexadot is a turn-based strategy game built around chain reactions on a shifting hex grid. Place your dots, build toward critical mass, and trigger cascades that spread across neighboring cells. The last color standing wins. EVERY MOVE MATTERS Grow your position one dot at a time. A crowded hex bursts into its neighbors, creating captures, counter-captures, and long tactical chains. INSTANT CAPTURE When a hex bursts, the strongest arriving force captures its neighbors outright — no drawn-out battles, just decisive chain reactions. A BOARD THAT FIGHTS BACK Cracked hexes can collapse into voids, changing critical mass and reshaping future cascades. Add frozen hexes and bulwarks for even more tactical variety. PLAY YOUR WAY • Solo against computer-controlled opponents • Three free games every day • Optional Full Game unlock for unlimited play • Pass-and-play with up to four human players in Full Game • Game Center turn-based matches with up to four humans in Full Game • Multiple board sizes and speed settings • Optional hints and turn timer • Momentum moves for tactical pushes and pivots • Winning-cascade replay Designed natively for iPhone and iPad with responsive layouts, smooth animations, haptic feedback, and complete offline solo play.
