Hexagon Dynamics

by linus

A simple but fun deterministic game, you play against the AI or another friend. Select a tile by clicking on it, then press on an adjacent tile to move to it. When you move a tile next to another tile with a different color all the connected tiles will be turned to your color.

CONTROLS:
ESC - back to main menu
MOUSE - select tiles

Created using HTML5.

Interesting concept! I lost hard a couple times before I figured out how to bait the AI. Not sure how many strategies could be drawn out of the mechanics, don't have anyone to play local with.
If you wanna keep going with it, maybe draw from Pacman and make AIs that have different strategies - defensive, aggressive, tricky, etc? It'd be a good exercise in learning AI, at least.

Cool game! I think that a full version of it would be great, especially if you make an Android version! I think that just making different maps you can make not only a versus mode but even a level selection mode or something.

P.S: I've made the same silly movement blue makes in the tutorial in the second try :P

This is a blast! Reminds me of that game where you try to make the other guy pick up the last matchstick.

Very nice. Got me sucked in right away. The A.I. was well tuned.

Great idea. I beat the AI on the fourth try. Really interesting mechanics. Like squidaveo it reminds me of Nim game in terms of strategies. I can't tell at this point if there is a good depth of play. I need to try it with some friends :-)

Very fun! It must be deterministic yet I cannot replay my own winning move anymore. I feel dumb now.

I accidentally screamed "Fuck yeah!" when I won. It sort of reminds me of an advanced tic tac toe.

Very nice game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the MiniLD #70 games, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/F2e0VX44fiM
