RHex Game for Blackberry

Jul 7, 2010 by Shivendu Madhava

This new game by CrucialSoft clearly borrows from Tetris; but it is almost as if the developers took Tetris and decided: “Well, we can do a lot better.” Eschewing the old bricks, RHex uses hexagonal blocks falling from the top of the screen. But it’s not a layer-by-layer construction that you have to do to get rid of the blocks.

The hexagons are coloured, and linking four of them makes them disappear. The six-sided shape lends itself to a new twist: Instead of moving and rotating the falling pieces, you rotate the platform itself! RHex is a lot more complex, a lot more challenging and a lot more fun than Tetris ever was.
