Qix — About this game
Draw lines across an open field to claim territory, avoiding the roaming Qix and the Sparx that travel along the edges. Holding the drawing button slows the line and raises its scoring potential; releasing it draws faster. Rejoin a safe boundary to finish an enclosure before the Qix touches your unfinished line.
