Released February 2008 (1.5 MB) New features added in the 2.0 upgrade include:
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 the number of tiles in a group, the more points you 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 although you score many more points per group 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 effect, where a removed group of tiles frees 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. 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. Tiles launched onto the board from a 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 either they butt up against another tile or they reach the other side of the board where they push their way into the tile pool. Features of this game include:
