About

Cyclex

Features
Read full description

A brand-new sliding puzzle set on a 91-tile circular hex board. Slide tiles along three axes and match four or more same-colored tiles to clear them. As tiles clear, new ones drop in to refill the board โ€” a three-minute score-attack game where the only question is how high you can climb. โ— Simple to play, deep to master One swipe moves an entire line. With horizontal, right-diagonal, and left-diagonal axes โ€” 33 lines in all โ€” you can set up chains from any angle. โ— Special tiles turn the tide Bomb Tile: appears after clearing 5 tiles. Tap it, or trigger it in a chain reaction, to blast the 6 tiles around it. Color Bomb: appears after clearing 6 or more tiles. Clears every tile of one color on the board in a single stroke. โ— Chain for exponential points Each consecutive clear raises your multiplier. Pull off a big chain and watch your score explode. โ— Three minutes, all or nothing You have 3 minutes. Chains raise your score multiplier, but they never pause or extend the clock. At 0:00 the game ends. Stay sharp, trust your instincts.
