Instructions

The game will begin in Setup Mode, marked by random, sparkling colors. Click the middle Blink to select it as your Hex tile. It will glow blue with a flashing yellow face. All Blinks touching your Hex tile automatically become Rune tiles and will display rune-like, white patterns.

Pattern Matching

Compare the patterns of the Rune and Hex tiles. The color pattern displayed on the Rune tile will influence Hex tile when connected. As you rotate, connect, and separate Rune tiles from the Hex tile, there are three possible ways that the Hex tile will change: 1. Dispel: If the face color of a Rune tile matches that of a Hex tile, it will dispel the color completely from the Hex tile.

2. Add: If a face color exists on a Rune tile, but is empty on a Hex tile, this color will be added to the Hex tile.

Mismatched patterns will appear on the Hex tile

3. Mix If a face color exists both on a Rune tile and Hex tile, the colors will mix into a new color.

Mismatched colors will create a new color on the Hex tile

In order to dispel this new color, you will have to match all the face colors that make up this new color. Combinations of Red, Blue, and Green Rune Tiles can mix together to create new colors on the Hex tile:

Different combinations of red, green, and blue will create new colors

Rotate, detach, and reattach your Runes. Watch closely how colors mix, disappear, or reappear on the Hex tile depending on their orientation.

Reset

At any time you may reset the game by long pressing any blink in the cluster.

Win Conditions

You win once you fully dispel the hex, and the Hex tile is cleared of all colors. You will be treated with a magic rainbow burst. Click any tile to reset and start anew.

There is at least one guaranteed solution for every puzzle. There may even be a solution that does not use every rune!
