About

This entry is a demake of "bit Generations: Dialhex", which was released for the Gameboy Advance in 2006.  You play in a hexagonal grid made up of triangles and the goal of the game is to keep the grid clear by rotating triangles within your reticle, to form hexagons of the same colour.

This is my first entry into the #pico1k 2024 jam (link), which allows 1024 bytes of compressed code and no assets (graphics/sound)

Features

• Mostly faithful mechanics from the original game, however sliding tiles and special tiles were omitted due to size constraints
• The ability to "juggle" tiles to move them across the play area
• Gradually increasing difficulty
• High score saving/loading
• 3 random palettes +1 special palette for very high scores
