HOYX
An Icon-Hopping Puzzle Game
by Don Eskridge
Select a puzzle below to begin!
Welcome to HOYX
In HOYX, your goal is to move from the green icon to the red icon by following a series of movement icons on a grid. Each icon represents a movement rule:
• Circle (⬤): Moves 1 space in any direction.
• X (✕): Moves exactly 2 spaces diagonally.
• Triangle (▼): 3 spaces diagonally up (left or right), or straight down.
• Square (■): 4 spaces vertically or horizontally.
From the circled starting icon, move by following its rule and landing on another icon. You may never move to an empty space – you must land on an icon. Moves are allowed to flow over other icons along the way.
If a move would go beyond the edge of the grid, you stop at the last space before the wall with an icon on it. This is the only way that a move can end early.
Your objective is simple: start by clicking on the green circled icon, then move to other icons using their movement rules and reach the star icon to win.
Good luck!
