Dialhex(also known as Rotohex) is a game for the Game Boy Advance handheld system, released as part of the Bit Generations line in Japan. Like the other games in the series, the game has both simple controls and simple graphics.
[edit] Gameplay
In Dialhex, you rotate colored triangles until some of them form a hexagon of a solid color, which will then disappear from the playing field and allow other pieces to fall into place. The player controls the outline of a hexagon which is positioned using the control pad, and uses the A and B buttons to rotate any triangles contained within counter-clockwise, and clockwise, respectively. The triangles are unaffected by gravity as long as they can be rotated by the player. If the player moves his hexagon so the triangles are outside its boundaries, they will immediately drop and slide as far down as they can go. The primary objective of the game is to form a certain number of hexagons of each color of triangle, at which point you go to the next level, with a new color of triangle added.
Occasionally, a flashing Triangle will fall onto the screen. If the triangle is flashing white, then putting this triangle into a hexagon will eliminate all like-colored triangles on the screen. If the flashing triangle is flashing black, then putting this triangle into a hexagon opens a hole in the bottom of the playfield which will cause all triangles in that area to fall out of the playfield as if pulled by gravity.
[edit] Possibility of US release
While the ESRB has given Dialhex an E rating, it is unknown whether or not the game, or any of the Bit Generations line, will ever make it to the US.
