Hexagon
A downloadable game for Windows
Inspired by a combination of infection games, resource gathering, and board games.
This one is a bit esoteric in its design and requires a bit of patience. Looks like I had added a high score system. I think it used to work years ago with an AWS service. Just leave the enter name part empty when you try to go back to the main menu.
No real objective. I guess maybe see how long it takes you to completely fill out the map?
You start with 1000 resource. I suggest laying down 1 gray, then several green till you have effectively a passive income.
There is a speed up feature in the bottom right. You will probably want to max it out in the beginning. (See image below.)
Hexagon Type:
- Green - Resource generator - Cost: 200
- Use this to build up resource so you can add more hexagons. Has limited resources and will eventually die.
- Gray - Scaffolding- Cost: 400
- This is required before any other color can be placed. Place green, blue, red on top of this one. Has very low resistance to red
- Red - Consumer - Cost: 10
- Use this is you want to create a plague like feature. Will quickly consume hexagons with low resistance.
- Blue - Defense - Cost: 300
- Does not generate resources, but has high resistance. Can be used to help block of red hexagons from spreading.
- Black - Dead hexagon
- Does nothing
Controls:
- Pan camera with WASD
- Zoom with scroll wheel
- ESC to quit game
- Can select a hexagon type by clicking or pressing 1,2,3,4
- Place a hexagon by left clicking on the map
This game could benefit from a fill feature. Apparently I made this in 2020 also.
I'll admit, it looks fun but is actually tedious and repetitive. However, I do imagine there is a small subset of the population that will appreciate it. I'll estimate maybe about 6 people? Haha
