Game Time: Hex Fever
6This is a fun little time waster. Note - the colors don't appear to matter. Maybe a higher score if the whole line is the same color? Lines can be made in any direction.

Forgot to screen shot it but I'm not all that great. High score so far is 4,000 exactly

Damnit. Now I'm cracking out on this game. 5880 is the 2nd try score. Must... play... more...
Second try - beginner's luck, I think.
I'm apparently really good at this.
Apparently :-)
So it's kinda like Tetris; fit the pieces and completed lines disappear.
Here's my second try:
(I've played a couple more rounds and still haven't beat it.)
Thanks for sharing, @bingo! I'm hooked!
About 25,000 my first try. I couldn't find the scoring rules, nor a frequency distribution of the pieces. Anyone else find those things? Is there an end to it?
@bdb I didn't find any instructions or anything. I suspect it's like Tetris both in the "figure it out on your own" sense and that it never ends
Works terrifically on mobile, too. There goes my time...
First time I got around 15k. Partly because I didn't know what I was doing and thought the goal was to fill it up and I got a huge combo. Now that I'm using strategy and planning I can't get over 7k. Not sure what that says about me.
@MrMark I too assumed the goal was to fill it up with as little blanks as possible.
This game is fantastic, spatial recognition games are right up my alley. I'm on try number 1 right now and just surpassed the 30k mark. I've definitely gotten lucky with a few pieces popping up at the perfect time to get me out of a jam.
Alright here's the final from round number 1
Had to give it one more go to make sure the first round wasn't a fluke
@MEHcus Envy doesn't even begin to describe it.
@JerseyFrank I was just over 80k and my computer crashed. So much pain.
@MEHcus Even your computer hates you.
@MEHcus Nice scores! My highest score is still around 59,000. And I've only had two games in the 50's.
@christinewas Gah I died just short of 80 this time....
@MEHcus I can't break 21k, let alone 80k
@JerseyFrank My best is only 16k but I still can't stop playing.
@MEHcus Also, your mom called to say that even she is having trouble loving you right now.
I've managed to get 3 lines at once and was surprised by the 'Beautiful!' voice and pop up. I've been trying to get more than three at once to see if there's anything different (Like in Unreal Tournament where it keeps increasing with each kill "Ultra Kill, Mega Kill, MONSTER KILL, HOLY SHIT!" etc etc)
@Bingo There are different comments like "Now we're doing great" or similar.
Doesn't work in Chrome? Or am I doing something wrong?
@Willijs3 works in Chrome browser on a PC.
@Willijs3 works for me in chrome
@Willijs3 Just click and drag the pieces over, yo. Easy. Can't rotate them though.
@medz All I am getting is a black screen. It works in IE just fine, though. And I am enjoying wasting time on it.
@Willijs3 Worked for me in Chrome on mobile.

The all is pretty cool too
My first try went poorly (I think it was unlucky).. My second try went better, but I was getting to the point that I was hoping I'd lose, since it was taking up too much time..
Let's start shooting for lowest score possible, not breaking 400 is pretty tough:
@MEHcus - hahaha. This is more my style.
@MEHcus Ooh! Ooh!
@christinewas That's impressive. Lowest I've been able to get is 360. Seems like I get littered with the single pieces over an over again.
@MEHcus -agreed. I've gotten a few 360's as well.
I no longer have any of the circular pieces. What's that about?
My previous high score was 25,100. Today I managed to get 41,880!
This game is a great stress reliever when I need a break at work.
@stardate820926 I forgot about this game! Just tried again and got 19k. I'll catch up one day!
@hollboll
@stardate820926 thanks bud :)
