Description
My tribute to Qix, the 1981 arcade game from Taito America. I re-imagined it with a pastel color palette. The original colors were a little drab (dark blue and orange-brown).

The player controls a marker that can move around the edges of the rectangle. Holding down one of the draw buttons allows the marker to move into unclaimed territory and draw lines ("Stix") in an attempt to create a closed shape. To complete a level, the player must claim 75% of the playfield (adjustable by the arcade operator to be between 50% and 90%).

After the player completes two levels, the difficulty increases by the inclusion of multiple Qixes, additional Sparx, speed increases, and the eventual appearance of only Super Sparx. In levels with multiple Qixes, the player can also complete the level by splitting the playfield into two regions, each containing at least one Qix.

Reviewers described the game as a "sleeper hit" and a "cult phenomenon loved by a few and ignored by the blasto brigade."
