About

Hexorbit

Features
Read full description

Hexorbit is a hexagon puzzle built on one satisfying idea: place a pair, turn a ring, start a chain reaction. Drop two-gem pairs onto a honeycomb board. Join five or more matching gems and they clear. Then the twist: the board is made of rings you can turn, sliding every gem one step around the centre to line up the perfect match. When gems clear, everything above drifts down and can set off a second, third or fourth wave for multiplied points. FEATURES • 30 journey levels across three chapters, each with goals, a move limit and up to three stars • Free Flow: an endless, relaxed score chase • Daily Orbit: one new board for everyone every day • Pulse: charge it by clearing gems, then blast a seven-cell area • Undo your last move when you change your mind • Stones, locked rings and marked cells keep later levels fresh • A guided one-minute tutorial to get you started PLAY YOUR WAY • Every gem has its own shape (circle, star, triangle, diamond), so colour is never the only cue • High-contrast mode, reduced motion and larger text options • Plays completely offline FAIR AND PRIVATE No adverts. No in-app purchases. No account. No tracking. Hexorbit collects no data at all.
