Hextris is Tetris with stones made of hexagons.
It takes some time to get used to the hexagon board but its worth it.
Main features:
- severity levels for beginner, medium and expert
- choosable speed at game start
- global highscore list
- choosable hexagon size
- Java/multiplatform implementation
- GPL license
The aim of the game is to score as high as possible. So here are some score hints:
- Moving down stones manually scores more than waiting until stones move automatically.
- Playing in higher levels scores more than playing in lower levels. If you start in a higher level then you stay there as long as it takes to reach that level from level 1. So if you feel comfortable in say level 3 then its better to start in level 3.
- The score for removed lines depends on the number of simultaneously removed lines and grows quarely, i.e. filling 2 lines with one stones brings 2 times the score of filling 2 lines seperately. 3 times for 3 lines etc.
The actual number of score points can be found in the help display

Categories are associated with specific well-defined problem areas, and f2w helpdesk provides a way to maintain an expert knowledge base of problems and solutions based on request categories.

- E-mail notification to originator of request.
- User preference for stylesheet.
- User can set an "away until" date, so an operator assigning the requests can know who is available.
