COLHEX
2017
#iOS # Swift #Xcode #Illustrator #SpriteKit
COLHEX is a fast-paced, 2D iOS party game developed using Swift and the SpriteKit framework in Xcode.
The game can be played alone against a simple AI, or with up to 6 players locally.
Conquer the board with your colour in COLHEX! Play solo or with up to five friends, all on the same screen!
Each player must first choose one of six colours. When the game begins, players will have 30 seconds to claim as many hexagons as they can with their colour. This is done by tapping on hexagons, which spreads colours in an circular pulse. When the time is up, the player with the most hexagons of their colour wins!
The game plays in real-time, so it is fast-paced! Be quick! Be accurate! It only takes a few taps for other players to take over your claimed hexagons! And be careful not to tap other players' colours!
The name COLHEX represents a combination of the words "colour" and "hexagon," and is also a play on words since it also sounds like the word "collects," which describes the goal of the players: to collect and claim as many hexagons for themselves.
