Dominate Territories! Multiplayer IO Battle
Hexanaut.io is a thrilling .io game where you compete to claim the most territory. Strategically expand your domain while avoiding self-destruction by cutting your own tail. Watch out for rival players who can eliminate you by crossing your path. The battlefield features special totems that grant powerful bonuses when captured. How expansive can your empire grow? Test your strategic skills in this fast-paced territorial conquest game.
GAMEPLAY BASICS
Control your avatar using mouse movements. Venture beyond your borders to draw new boundary lines, then return to your territory to enclose and claim the captured area. The key is completing these circuits safely without being intercepted.
Remember: When outside your safe zone, you're vulnerable. Opponents can eliminate you by crossing your active trail, forcing you to restart your expansion efforts.
Achieve Hexanaut status by capturing 20% of the map. Maintain this dominance for two minutes to claim victory! Warning: Elimination while another player holds Hexanaut status means permanent removal from that match.
POWERFUL TOTEMS
Five unique totems appear throughout the battlefield, each offering strategic advantages for players bold enough to claim them:
EXPANSION TOTEM
This coveted prize automatically claims adjacent tiles after capture, sending out conquering beams that gradually expand your territory - particularly valuable during early-game when manual expansion is challenging.
VELOCITY TOTEM
Boosts your movement speed by 5%. While modest individually, stacking multiple speed boosts creates significant advantages in fast-paced maneuvers and territory grabs.
TELEPORTATION GATES
Instant transportation between two paired gates revolutionizes large-territory management. Perfect for rapid response to border threats or surprise attacks across distant map sections.
DECELERATION TOTEM
Creates dangerous slow zones where enemy movement becomes sluggish while you remain at full speed – the perfect setup for ambushes. Avoid opposing slow zones where possible to maintain your mobility advantage.
SURVEILLANCE DISH
Reveals all enemy movements across the entire map, becoming critically important as your empire grows. This invaluable intelligence helps prioritize defense of vulnerable borders against would-be invaders.
MULTIPLAYER DYNAMICS
Hexanaut operates as an .io game hybrid, blending real opponents with sophisticated AI bots to ensure full, fast-matchmaking. The system maintains large, active battlefields by supplementing human players with intelligent bots that mimic real competitor behavior.
