HEX ORBIT

Every launch turns the board

HEX ORBIT starts with a small cluster around a central core. Choose one of seven launch lines, rotate the incoming shape, and place it against the existing pieces. The entire board then turns by 60 degrees before the next shape appears.

Two opening placements raised the score as expected and made the central tension clear: a useful shape can still leave the next angle awkward after the rotation. The landing preview helps, but the board state must be read one turn ahead.

Clear rings and plan the collapse

A completed outer ring disappears even when spaces remain inside it. Any separated pieces then settle toward the core, where they can complete another ring and start a cascade.

The run levels up after every ten cleared rings and continues beyond level 10 as a score chase. A Hold slot, reverse turns, a seven-cell bomb, and a one-cell patch offer ways to rescue a board that is closing in.

Mouse, keyboard, and touch

With a mouse, move to aim, right-click to rotate, and left-click to launch. Keyboard controls use Q and E to rotate, Space to launch, H to hold, R to reverse, B for the bomb, P for the patch, and Escape to pause.

Touch play uses a horizontal slider or sideways drag for the seven aim positions. The bilingual settings also offer portrait and landscape layouts, sound adjustment, and an optional empty-ring hint.

Creator's description

Two opening placements raised the score immediately and showed how every launch rotates the whole board, turning the next aim into a new spatial problem.
