Keep tapping the red block to reach a high score! SpectroTap is a game of speed and agility. You begin with four seconds to tap the red block on the grid. Every time you click the red block, you are given one point, you get more time, and the red block jumps to a new spot. But watch out! The game will keep getting faster and faster, and you'll be awarded less and less time for tapping the red block. If you tap the wrong block or run out of time, you lose.
Hexagon Cells

Match six. Chain combos. Outsmart the board. Hexagon Cells is a relaxing yet tricky logic puzzle on an 8×10 honeycomb. Every cell has six neighbors instead of four, so every move opens up new lines. HOW TO PLAY • Move balls across the board and bring 6 balls of the same color together to clear them and score. • Combine bigger groups: join 4 and 4 balls, for example, and every ball is worth more. • Score again with your next move and you get a bonus. • After every move, new random balls appear. A preview shows where they will land. • Watch out: if a random ball completes your prepared group, it steals your combo and you get 0 points. FEATURES • Three difficulty levels: Easy (6 colors), Normal (7) and Hard (8) • Four themes: Classic, Baroque Garden, Neon and Midnight Gold • Earn coins while you play and spend them in the shop • Shop upgrades: fewer random balls, and random balls that no longer steal your points • Clear, easy-to-tell-apart ball colors in every theme • Highscore, settings and purchases stay on your device FREE TO PLAY Hexagon Cells is free and supported by ads. Optional in-app purchases: • Remove ads • Get 500 coins • Unlock all themes You can also unlock every theme with coins you earn by playing. Ready for your first six?
