Mokoko X

You know, sometimes you want to go back and play some old flash style nonsense based off of Qix. And it's... alright. But not alright enough to recommend (sorry devs). I'd give it a neutral rating if Steam let me. Unfortunately, the game starts giving you puzzle levels where you have to start in a specific spot and slowly wall off territory along a pre-planned route by blocking the outer edge with impassable objects. And these are real tedious. Just let make my own nonsense path and try to cut the level in half. The hitbox of your character is deceptively chonky, too. Which makes threading the gaps between blocks a little frustrating. Weirdly enough, the completely exaggerated, hammed up, campy dialogue was almost as entertaining as the game. The VAs seemed like they were having fun with it. And it rubs off on you. Buy it for a buck and try to speedrun arcade by cutting every level in half with your first line.

this is a rage game, not porn

It's OK. This is basically QIX where you cut out boxes and stuff to defeat the enemies and get points. Some puzzles have some good ideas for level design and how to navigate them efficiently for maximum points, while and others feel too hard thanks to the bosses ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spamming. I will say the music and voice acting is absolute trash it was painful to deal with I ended up playing on mute and just listed to my own music which is actually a blessing is disguise as I was listening to the new Ancient Death album Ego Dissolution and let me tell you this albums the ♥♥♥♥. This slaps harder than my dads belt folks. Very forward thinking with lots of twists and turns with the songwriting. Morbid Angel meets Starspawn-era Blood Incantation riffage, but it also veers into death/doom territory at times and even some gothic influences with the clean vocals that show up around the middle. Definitely in the running for top 10 album of the year. Oh yeah QIX game is decent but its soundtrack sucks and has boobies so yeah.

Mokoko X is a bold, eccentric revival of classic arcade territory-capture gameplay, reimagined through a distinctly modern indie lens that blends anime aesthetics, irreverent humor, and light narrative framing. Developed and published by NAISU, the game takes inspiration from old-school titles like Qix and Volfied, but dresses those fundamentals in a contemporary presentation filled with expressive characters, voice acting, and a tone that is knowingly absurd. The result is a game that feels nostalgic at its mechanical core while unapologetically strange in its personality. The central gameplay loop is built around carving out territory on a hostile playfield. Each level tasks players with capturing a required percentage of the screen by venturing out from safe zones and drawing lines across open space. This act of expansion leaves the player vulnerable, forcing constant risk assessment as enemies roam freely and attempt to interrupt progress. The tension between greed and survival defines the experience: pushing too far can result in instant failure, while playing too cautiously can allow enemy patterns to become overwhelming. The mechanics are simple to grasp but demand sharp re…

Fun Qix clone with a side of lewdity. The girls are cute but something is off about their proportions or animations or something, it's not quite right. The enemies are also super cringe in both design and voice acting. But the gameplay is good and the arcade mode where you have to beat all levels in one go is challenging fun. Worth getting on sale.
