The story

The product

A neon cyberpunk arcade puzzle. Tap a vertex on a hex-shaped triangle grid and six triangles rotate 60 degrees clockwise, carrying their colors around the ring. Match six colors on a shared vertex and the hex shatters. A heat bar drains continuously, only chain clears keep the run alive.

Product judgment

Key decisions

  1. 01

    One-Tap Ring Spin

    Tap any vertex, six triangles rotate 60 degrees clockwise. The rotation is the state change, not a preview.

  2. 02

    Phantom Slot Engine

    Edge vertices pull hidden colors in from outside the board so boundary spins feel generative, not limited.

  3. 03

    Heat Run Timer

    Constant drain, only clears refill. Cascade refills scale with n squared, rewarding stacked simultaneous hexes.
