About Hextris
Hextris is a fast hexagonal twist on falling-block puzzles: colored blocks drop toward a spinning hexagon and your job is to match three or more of the same color before the stack overflows. It's simple to learn, genuinely hard to master, and one of the most loved open-source browser games ever made.
How to play Hextris
Rotate the hexagon with the left and right arrow keys (or tap the left and right sides of the screen on a tablet) so falling blocks land on same-colored stacks. Three or more of a color touching clears them — keep the walls low and chase combos.
