Creating a new puzzle in Hexahedra is easy - define the inputs and outputs, decide which devices are available and how big the factory is, and you're done. What's much harder is solving those levels! Come and tell me what you want to see in a puzzle, whether that's lasers, fire, tricky compact puzzles or vast sprawling factories. We'll build it, and then we'll see how efficiently we can solve it. Here's my favourite Hexahedra device, the Laser, which allows for logic branching based on whether the beam hits something its own colour.

Hexahedra is an open-ended programming puzzle game. Fill a cube factory with a variety of devices and program them to work together to produce the required cubes. Go back and tweak your solutions to make them increasingly efficient, and compete for the best solutions with your friends and other players across the world.

Design Factories

Fill a series of workstations with devices that can either alter a cube, such as spray painters, panel removers, and payload adders, or that can react to a cube's state, including weighers, and lasers that react to colour. Program each workstation to manipulate and alter cubes and use the reactive devices to branch the flow of logic.

 

Pursue Efficiency

Compete against your friends and the rest of the world to produce the quickest, or simplest, or least wasteful solution to each puzzle.

Save (or rule!) the Galaxy

Cubes have become the galaxy's most important commodity, a fact that some intend to exploit to their own advantage. Track down the conspiracy, infiltrate it, and bring it down. Or don't, and take your place amongst the new rulers.
