Nix
About
A neon-soaked Qix clone. Carve territory out of an electric playfield while a color-cycling Qix and its triangular and square cousins ricochet around looking for a piece of you. Five levels of escalating chaos, drenched in additive bloom and particle glow.
Objective
Claim the target percentage of each level by drawing closed shapes from the border. Trap the Qix into a smaller and smaller corner, blow up Sparx by enclosing them, and don't get caught mid-trail.
Watch Out
Stop drawing for too long and a fuse ignites your trail — if it catches up, you die. The Qix kills on contact with your line, and orange Sparx patrol the claimed border looking to ambush you.
How to play
Move along the border with WASD or the arrow keys.
Hold Space, Shift, or click + a direction to start claiming territory. Pressing a fresh direction key also arms the claim.
Complete a closed trail back to the claimed border to enclose an area — the side without the Qix becomes yours.
Don't pause while drawing: the fuse will burn down your trail and end your run.
