Hextris

About

Hextris flips the classic puzzle formula by swapping squares for hexagons. Players arrange six-sided tiles as they drop, connecting edges to fill rows and score points. Each placed piece earns one point while clearing lines adds 25 plus your current level. The challenge ramps up as speed increases, testing your ability to fit irregular shapes under pressure. Released in 1991 for DOS, this single-player title leans into straightforward mechanics that prioritize quick thinking over complexity. The hexagonal twist adds fresh spatial challenges compared to traditional grid-based puzzles. With no frills or multiplayer options, it remains a lean test of reflexes and pattern recognition for fans of old-school arcade logic.
