HEXICAL

Geometric Merge Game

HEXICAL  is a tiny arcade puzzle  game built from scratch using C++ and Raylib. Drag, aim, and launch geometric shapes with tactical precision to split, smash, and shatter targets.

Every shot counts: pull back to build tension, read the dynamic vector feedback, and aim for a shape equal to the one you are shooting. Be careful, if you don't hit the right shape, you will lose one life!

Core Features

*   Precision Vector Aiming: A fluid drag-and-launch shooting mechanic that maps physical pull distance directly to velocity and force.

*   Cyber-Arcade Aesthetics: A crisp multi-layered title rendering, dynamic neon glowing effects, and a responsive UI tailored for modern retro setups.

*   Pure Technical Performance: No bloated engines. Built cleanly in C++17, compiled down into highly optimized native machine code and lightweight WebAssembly.

Controls

*  Left Click + Drag: Aim and select force vector.

*  Release Left Click: Launch shape.

*  Right Click + Aiming: Cancel the shot.
