Hex Attack

HEX ATTACK - Avoid Enemies and Survive!

HEX ATTACK is a action survival game developed in C++ using the Raylib framework. In this game, you control a central cannon and must defend your base against relentless waves of flying hexagons. Your primary objective is to destroy these hexagons before they connect to the central platform and build a bridge allowing the enemies in the screen's corners to invade.

Can you survive every wave as the speed and difficulty increase?

Features

• Action-packed gameplay: fast and responsive shooting mechanics.
• Wave progression system: difficulty scales up as the hexagon spawn intervals decrease and speed increases with each wave.
• Cross-platform: compiled for Desktop (OpenGL 3.3) and Web/HTML5 (WebGL 1.0 / GLSL 100).
• Custom visuals: procedural space nebula and starfield background generated using GLSL shaders.
• Polished feedback: screen effects, sprite animations for explosions, and dynamic UI elements.
