What it is

Hexfall is a single-file, browser-native turn-based strategy game on a hex grid. One HTML file, no build step, no backend — opens in any modern browser and starts playing.

Modes:

• Solo vs AI — three difficulty bots
• Async multiplayer — share a game link, take turns at your own pace
• Daily Challenge — same seed for everyone, daily

Mechanics: capture neutral tiles, merge adjacent groups for bonus, contest enemy territory, manage a per-turn economy. Built-in interactive tutorial.

Tech

• Single HTML file (hexfall-standalone-html.html), ~2,100 lines
• React 18 + Tailwind via CDN, JSX compiled at runtime by @babel/standalone
• Zero dependencies, zero build step — drop the file on any static host
• Mobile-first responsive (viewport-locked, dvh units, no overscroll)
• Fully self-contained: no analytics, no external API calls, no fonts

How to play locally

Just open the file:

# from this directory:
start hexfall-standalone-html.html         # Windows
open hexfall-standalone-html.html          # macOS
xdg-open hexfall-standalone-html.html      # Linux
