xansAlright, so, on MSN, I play Hexic a lot.
For those of you who don't/haven't played, the game goes something like this: you have a screen of several different colored hexagons, and the idea is to rotate a trio of hexagons to get a combo of three or more of the same color together. They disappear and more hexagons fall down. Or, for more points, you arrange it so that six hexagons form a hexagon around another hexagon, and a star is formed. If you're really good, you make several of those stars, and get them to form a hexagon, and a pearl is formed. Randomly through all this, bombs will drop down from the top and you have a number of moves to destroy it in a combo of like colors, or once it reaches zero the game is over. There's also hexagons with little stars on them that give extra points. But the end aim of the game is to form three pearls and get them to make a trio.
And oh, how I have complained with those who play with me about the impossibility of winning. One is lucky to form ONE pearl in a game, let alone two or three before one gets caught out by a bomb. It always seems to conspire against you, as much as a non-sentient game can conspire anything. But despite that, I have still managed to reach high scores... but today... Today. Today I made two pearls in a game, which was a first. The very next game, I managed to make three pearls. I won at hexic!
I think just maybe I play it too much? :P
Fin.
