About this game

Blocks approach from all six directions. Rotate the hexagon to bring a matching stack in line with the next block. Matches can form along a side or across adjoining sides. Clearing matches close together builds a combo.

This edition preserves the original Hextris controls and colour-blind palette. The archive player can pause the board, and a run can resume from a local save in the same browser.

Quick tips

Watch the tallest stack as you rotate. The side facing the next block is only one of six.

Use the colour-blind palette from the in-game help controls if the default colours are hard to distinguish.

Left / Right or A / D
Rotate the centre one step left or right.
Down / S
Hold to speed up incoming blocks.
P / Space
Pause or resume.
