Description
Board the helm of Starship HEXA, and conquer the universe the only way you know how: shapes. You're the commander of Starship HEXA, the head of a space fleet dead-set on taking over the universe. You're well on your way to assuming control of everything that is and shall be, but your attack methods are a bit... unorthodox. We can't dwell on it for too long, though, so get out there and match those hexagons! HEXA is a unique, quick to pick up, and super fun logic puzzle game based on everybodyβs favorite polygon. Try for a high score in Arcade Mode, take on the dynamic Daily Run; or conquer dozens of unique challenges in Mission Mode! See if you canβt conquer the HEXAPLEX, wrangle those Power-ups, and maybe even become ruler of the universe along the way. Give it a try... it's HEXA-good!

Accessibility
This game uses the d-pad and A and B buttons, and optionally the crank. Some modes may require a fair bit of precision and quick reflexes for high scoring, but other non-timed modes allow you to play at your own pace. This game respects Playdate's Reduce Flashing setting; dampening heavy flashes and screen shakes if enabled.
