Cyclex

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.

Snap glowing blocks onto a hexagonal board, give each piece a quick 60-degree twist, and watch full lines burst in a shower of color. Hexbloom is the calm, no-pressure block puzzle you can pick up for one quick move or happily lose an hour in. Most block puzzles drop the same shapes on the same square grid. Hexbloom rebuilds the genre on a six-sided board where lines run in three directions at once, and adds the one thing the classics never let you do: rotate every piece before you place it. That single twist turns an impossible-looking tray into a satisfying fit. THE TWIST THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING - Tap any piece to spin it 60 degrees, then drag it exactly where it belongs. - Clear straight lines along any of the three axes to make them pop. - Chain clears back to back to build a streak multiplier and rack up big scores. - Empty the whole board for a perfect-clear bonus. THREE WAYS TO PLAY - Classic: pure score attack that ends only when nothing else fits. - Zen: a truly no-fail mode. If your tray gets stuck it quietly refreshes, so you can breathe out and keep the flow going forever. - Colors: a brain-bending twist where a line only clears when every hex shares the same color. Fewer colors, double points, pure planning. A NEW DAILY CHALLENGE EVERY DAY - One hand-seeded board shared by every player in the world. - Build the highest score you can from a fixed set of pieces, no tray swaps. - Keep your streak alive on a calendar heatmap and come back tomorrow for a fresh puzzle. RELAX OR COMPETE, YOUR CHOICE - No countdown clocks, no lives to lose, no punishing timers. - Gentle haptics and a soft, glowing night palette made for long, calm sessions. - Undo a move or swap your whole tray when you want a little help. TRACK EVERY MILESTONE - 40 tiered awards to chase, from your first cleared line to marathon streaks. - A personal insights tab with your best scores, lines cleared, favorite play times and a consistency heatmap. PERFECT FOR - Puzzle fans who want a hexagon block game with real depth. - Anyone who loves a relaxing block puzzle to unwind before bed. - Players hunting for a brain teaser to sharpen focus on a commute or coffee break. - Long sessions where you just want one more satisfying twist. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE - Plays fully offline, no account and no sign-up required. - No wifi needed, so it is ready on a plane, a train or the couch. - Your scores and progress stay on your device. Download Hexbloom and discover how good a block puzzle feels when every piece can turn. One more twist, one more line, one more perfect clear. SIMPLE TO LEARN, HARD TO PUT DOWN The rules take five seconds: drop, twist, clear. But planning three axes at once, saving room for long lines and timing your streaks turns every board into a fresh puzzle you will want to solve again and again. TIPS FOR A HIGHER SCORE - Rotate first, place second - the fit you need is often just one twist away. - Set up two or three lines to clear in a single move for a big multi-line bonus. - Keep the center open and build your clears toward the edges of the board. - In Zen there is no rush, so experiment freely and learn how each shape behaves. A GAME THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME No ads interrupt your board mid-move, no energy meter locks you out, and nothing nags you to come back. Play one quick round on a break or a dozen on a long trip. Hexbloom is always ready, always calm, and always just one more satisfying twist away.
