If
you liked Brick
Shooter, then you'll LOVE Hex-It! Hex-It! takes brick shooting to
another level. The object is to clear the board of fixed tiles and
advance to the next level. You score points for groups of tiles of the
same color which are then removed from the board. The larger number of
tiles in a group, the more points yoou score. Scores are also
multiplied by the level number to encourage you to advance to the next
level as quickly as possible.
On each new level there are more and more fixed tiles to clear, so
althoough you score many more points for groups on higher levels, these
levels are also more difficult to clear.
The ultimate aim of the game is to reach the highest level possible
with the highest score, before the game ends when no more productive
moves are possible.
You get bonus points if you can set up a volley of shots, each of which
removes a group of tiles. You also get bonus points if you can create a
Cascade, where a removed group of tiles free up other tiles which move
to form further groups of tiles which are then automatically removed.
The
board is
hexagonal and each edge is bordered by a pool of hexagonal tiles
arranged in three rows of eight tiles each. |
Only the inner row of tiles is playable. The other two rows of tiles
are previews of tiles yet to become playable. Tiles can be launched
onto the board in one of two directions, you do this by either clicking
the left or the right mouse button on a playable tile. Tiles launched
onto the board from the tile pool are mobile as opposed to fixed and
this is indicated by an arrow pointing in the direction of movement.
Played tiles will travel across the board until they are obstructed by
another tile. When the obstruction is removed, they continue to move in
their initial direction until they either butt up against another tile
or they reach the other side of the board where they push their way
into the tile pool. |
Hext-It!
