HexGL makes a strong first impression: a blue racing ship, a suspended city circuit and a wide-open sky. Beneath the spectacle is a straightforward time trial. Your job is to learn the track, carry speed through its corners and bring the ship home in one piece. The three-lap format gives you another look at the same turns before the run ends.
Start by finding a clean line rather than chasing the fastest possible launch. Steering and air brakes do different jobs, and trying to correct everything at the last moment makes the circuit feel much narrower. A cautious first lap is useful reconnaissance. Once the route feels familiar, the attraction is shaving away those little hesitations.
This is the pick for someone who wants a browser game to fill the screen and demand their attention. It is also one of the heavier choices here: the 3D scene needs working WebGL and a comfortable frame rate. The original site’s online ladder is closed, so treat the clock as a personal target rather than expecting an active competitive service.
Controls
- Press Up to accelerate; use Left and Right to steer.
- Use A and D for the left and right air brakes, as shown by the keyboard help screen.
- Choose a quality setting in the opening menu, then select Start and click through the controls screen.
Rules
- Complete the three-lap time trial as quickly as you can.
- Stay on the circuit and protect the ship; a destroyed ship ends the run.
- A cleaner line saves time. The original online leaderboard is closed.
Who it suits
Players who enjoy time trials, learning a track and improving a route through repetition. Best approached with a keyboard and a few uninterrupted minutes.
Before you open it
Fast camera movement and bright 3D scenery are part of the experience. If you prefer a still board and time to think, try 2048 or BreakLock instead.
Browser & device notes
The official menu, keyboard guide and starting grid loaded in desktop Chromium. WebGL is required. Lower the quality setting if movement is uneven; a mobile quality preset is not a guarantee of comfortable phone controls.
