Are you a fan of the classic MSN game Hexic and on the hunt for a high-quality mobile version? Look no further than "Hexic - the original game." This tile-matching puzzle game challenges players to strategically rotate hexagonal tiles in order to create specific patterns. The main goal is to clear the board by forming clusters or flowers using hexagonal pieces of various colors. Clusters are made when three pieces of the same color touch, leading to chain reactions and the appearance of new pieces at the top of the board. Bonuses are awarded for clearing more than three pieces at once, with some pieces containing bonus stars that provide extra points and the ability to clear larger groups.

Players can create a "silver-star" by arranging six like-colored pieces into a hexagon or flower around a differently colored piece. This action clears the surrounding pieces and replaces the center one with a silver-star, enabling the rotation of surrounding pieces. Forming a flower of silver-stars transforms the center piece into a black pearl, allowing movement of three surrounding pieces in specific patterns. The ultimate objective is to form a cluster or flower of black pearls, signaling the end of the game.

Throughout gameplay, bombs appear sporadically. These bombs can be defused by incorporating them into a cluster or flower matching their color. Failing to defuse a bomb before its counter reaches zero results in an explosion, ending the game. Successfully defusing a bomb with multiplier pieces of the same color causes all pieces of that color to clear from the board instantly.

Embark on this challenging journey with "Hexic - the original game" and put your puzzle-solving skills to the test. Best of luck and enjoy!
