    Rotate the Hexagon to prevent the blocks from stacking outside the outer grey hexagon!

    HEXTRIS is a fast paced puzzle game inspired by Tetris. Blocks start on the edges of the screen, and fall towards the inner blue hexagon. The objective of the game is to prevent the blocks from stacking outside the area of the grey hexagon. To do this, you must rotate the hexagon to manage different stacks of blocks on each face. Aim to connect 3 or more blocks of the same color: when 3 or more blocks of the same color touch each other, they are destroyed, and the blocks above them slide down! Destroying multiple series of blocks grants combos, whose durations are indicated by a quickly receding outline around the outer, grey hexagon. You lose once blocks on a face of the hexagon stack outside of the outer hexagon!

    Update info:
    Following Hextris' massively successful release on Twitter, Hacker News, and a plethora of both foreign and domestic news sources (thanks guys!) we were given a ton of feedback. We've tried to address as much of it as possible - however, there are still a few mechanics we're playing with that we hope to release later on.

    Changes from 1.0 to 1.1:
    - Made game physics independent from rendering
    - Physics update every 1/60th of a second (16.66 ms) while the renderer just renders as fast as it can using requestAnimationFrame
    - Moved restart button onto pause menu to prevent people from accidentally tapping it during gameplay
    - Updated license to GPL
    - Fixed bug report button to point to http://github.com/hextris/hextris/issues
    - Added social network "share" buttons
    - Twitter in particular - added "Share your score!" button
    - Modified widths of social network share buttons to keep up with demand (1000 likes takes up more space than 0 likes)
    - Added fb open-graph code (Thanks @leereilly !)
    - Ads now on top rather than bottom
    - Fixed issue in which one could not exit the help text screen
