I've recently been exploring Uber’s Hexagonal Hierarchical Spatial Index. Those are some heavy words, I know.

In short; It divides the world in a hexagon-grid using the Ubers H3.

I thought it would be fun, that this divided world, can be owned by someone. Yes, EACH hexagon. And there are billions... And I also want it to be FREE to play. This is how Hexaworld is brought to life.

About 20+ users signed up already which already give me a lot of feedback!

I'm having fun creating and adding a LOT of features, owning, selling, marketplace. But also some fun features like attacking someone else and try to conquer their land. You can defend yourself as well. Global Leaderboards.

Included a reward system that rewards users. When they find a famous landmark or hidden hexagon that I have manually added to the world map, they get free in-game credits.

As I said, Its free to play, you can "earn" in-game currency, by doing objectives and achievements. And to be completely fair upfront, you can also buy in-game currency for obvious reasons of course.

Like: "Monopoly VS Risk VS Age of Empires: But on a real world map."

It's mobile responsive (as in; mobile works best), and for android users; its a PWA so you can install it as an actual app! iPhone does not like PWA's I guess. Later on I will actually convert this to a "real" app.

Looking to find some honest feedback from you guys. And no, it is not crypto related, nor will it ever be.
