Hexellent
Place hexagonal tiles on a honeycomb grid to complete rows and clear them for points. Unlike traditional grid puzzles, the hexagonal geometry means each cell has six neighbors instead of four, creating more complex pattern possibilities. Each tile has a color and a number, and you clear a row when the numbers add up to a target sum shown at the top of the screen. New tiles appear from the bottom after each placement, pushing existing tiles upward. If any tile reaches the top row, the game ends. Power-ups let you rotate a tile, swap two tiles, or clear a specific row. The game has an endless mode for high score chasing and a puzzle mode with 150 hand-designed challenges.
