Hex Frost

Arctic construction race — jump on floating ice blocks to build your igloo while competing against your opponent. The twist: blocks are shared, and stepping on opponent-owned blocks steals their pieces!

Hex Frost 32° R2 P1: 8/15 P2: 5/15

Controls

  • Arrow keys (←/→) or A/D — Move left/right on blocks or shore
  • Arrow Up or W — Jump to the row above (toward shore)
  • Arrow Down or S — Jump to the row below (toward water)

Block Mechanics

  • White block — Neutral. Step on it to claim it (+1 igloo piece)
  • Your block — Step on your own block to undo it (-1 piece)
  • Opponent's block — Step to steal it! You +1 piece, they -1 piece (2-piece swing!)
  • 4 rows of ice blocks float horizontally (alternating directions)
  • You must time your jumps to land on moving blocks
  • Miss a block and fall in the water — lose a life!

Igloo & Winning

  • Build your igloo by collecting 15 pieces from ice blocks
  • Once complete, return to shore and enter your igloo to win the round
