Cubixx HD

Qix reborn. I love it.

Xonix-style games are really interesting to me, and this is the best version of that formula I've come across so far. Playing on a cube instead of a flat surface adds some surprisingly interesting depth in partial information and in how you move from one part of the map to another. Most of the "stage hazards", if you will, are well-trodden ground in the genre, but there's some unique ones and the implementation of adapted ones is very solid and feels more fair than a lot of implementations. There are a few rough edges - controls are odd, probably owing to this being adapted from controller, and the line scoring mode feels like more luck than skill - but this is still definitely worth picking up if you're interested in these kinds of games.

Pretty fun game. I actually first played Gals Panic as a one of these line runner games. Cubixx HD is done very well. Starts off really easy but it gets a little harder after each set of five levels. Music is so so, it could be better imo.

Shared lives and rest progress after death, ugh. All modes are locked until you progress via that mode.

I remember when i was a kid i looooved playing Qix on my GameBoy Pocket. This one gave me nostalgia and plays really well so far. Only tried two of the many modes for now, but they are already great.

it is good. Play it.
