Hextracer 0.9.0 - Make the maze your own

Hextracer · published 19 Sep 2026, 17:58 UTC · build 25410607

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Start with a built-in color theme, then tweak each color to make it your own. Regular tiles now have their own color setting, and the live preview shows how your choices will look in the maze.

Walled Grid's lower walls make the tiles easier to see, and Hextracer has a fresh new look.

Restore Helper Dialogs brings back instructions you've hidden. Demo sliders now show the full range and explain the 36-level limit only when you try to go beyond it.

Added

  • Added color themes inspired by Tokyo Night, Catppuccin Mocha and Latte, Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox, and Solarized Light. Apply a full palette, then tweak any color to make it your own.
  • Added a Tile Color option for regular tiles across mazes and minigames, with a live preview.

Changed

  • Demo level sliders now show the full 216-level range, with a note about the full game's longer runs only when you try to go past the 36-level Demo limit.
  • Replaced Show Tutorial with Restore Helper Dialogs, which brings back the tutorial and any minigame instructions you've hidden.
  • Lowered Walled Grid's walls to keep the tiles easier to see.
  • Color previews now give a more accurate look at your in-game colors.
  • Gave Hextracer a fresh look.
