The aim of the game is to trace small graphic pictures. Here only the red fields may be recorded. When a red box is clicked this and all its neighboring boxes will change the colors. A white field becomes a red and a red field becomes a white field. The playing field always consists of hexagonal (hexagonal) elements whose field width increases with time.

HexaPaint can be played in two modes. The campaign mode has a total of 202 different levels. In a "free game" the field size can be chosen almost arbitrarily (maximum size here is: 25). Hereby own graphics and patterns of your own imagination can be created in the free run according to the rules of HexaPaint.
