Hex FRVR
The closest to Hexi Pop: a hexagon board where lines clear in three directions, and it plays in a browser too. Hexi Pop adds back-to-back combos, earned power-ups and three difficulty levels.

The games, one at a time
Block Blast
The biggest name in the genre, on an 8×8 square grid where rows and columns clear. Hexi Pop keeps the tray of three and the combos, and moves them onto a hexagon.
Woodoku
A calm 9×9 wooden grid where 3×3 squares clear as well as rows and columns. Hexi Pop has the same unhurried pace, and swaps the squares for diagonals.
1010!
One of the games that made the tray-of-pieces idea popular: a 10×10 grid, rows and columns, and nothing else to learn. Hexi Pop is for when the square grid has no surprises left.
Where Hexi Pop fits
On a square grid every cell sits on two lines. On Hexi Pop's hexagon it sits on three, so one piece can finish a row and both diagonals at once, and a careless one can block all three.
Hexi Pop also deals every new set so that at least one piece fits, and its power-ups are earned by clearing lines, never sold. Easy mode is free in your browser if you want to try it before installing.
