A MAZE YOU CAN'T SEE ALL AT ONCE
Hextracer is a time-trial puzzle game about navigating procedurally generated hex mazes with limited visibility.
You begin each level at the center and can only see nearby tiles. More of the maze appears as the timer runs, so you can move with incomplete information or wait for a clearer route and lose time. Reach the goal using six-direction movement, then complete every level to finish the run.
REPLAY THE SAME RUN
Reuse a seed and run setup to replay the same sequence of mazes. Learn better routes, compare your time against your personal best, and see where you gained or lost time on each level. Run history also records your steps and resets.
CHOOSE HOW THE MAZE WORKS
Open Grid builds the maze from the shape of its playable tiles. Walled Grid fills the board and uses walls to create its routes. Both styles grow across longer runs as each new level gets larger.
ADD OPTIONAL MODIFIERS
Solo runs can include optional Modifier pickups. They may send you to the opposite side when you step past an edge, require two matching inputs, briefly freeze or hide the maze, rewind recent moves, or show the direction of the goal. Leave them off for the standard rules.
RACE THE SAME MAZES
Race online with up to six players on the same seeded maze sequence. Create a room with a code or Steam invitation, see nearby opponents as colored ghosts, and follow live standings through the final result.
