Run out and it is game over. The twist: bigger groups score exponentially more. A six-hex cluster is worth 36 points. Six singles? Just 6. Finding the big plays is how you win. FEATURES * 5-Star Rating System -- Earn up to 5 stars per level. One for winning. Five for perfection. * Streak Multipliers -- Chain consecutive cluster clears for up to 5x score multipliers. Singles break your streak. * Special Hexes -- Multipliers double your score. Chameleons transform on contact. Decay hexes tick down to blockers. Frozen hexes must be freed. * Achievements -- Unlock badges for milestones and master every level. * Level Select -- Replay any completed level to chase higher scores and more stars. * Premium Design -- Dark jewel-tone gems, neon accents, smooth animations. No clutter. * Endless Progression -- Difficulty scales infinitely. How far can you go? Free to play with ads. Remove interstitial ads permanently for $2.99.
