Hex Star Battle is a logic puzzle game similar to Queens or Star Battle played on a hexagonal grid. Place stars so that every color region and every line has exactly the right number. For the classic Queens variant: no two stars may touch, even diagonally. For the Double variant, similar to Star Battle: 2 stars must be in every region and along every line. • Classic mode (1 star per region/line) and Double Star mode (2 stars) for a genuinely different challenge • Five difficulty tiers, from gentle Easy puzzles to Expert and Extreme brain-benders • A new Daily Puzzle every day for both modes, with streak tracking • Global leaderboards and personal best times • Step-by-step hints that explain the actual logic — not just the answer • Colorblind-friendly region patterns, dark mode, and undo/redo No timers forcing your hand, no ads interrupting a puzzle — just satisfying, purely logical solving.
