How it feels

A tense, fast-paced arcade puzzle experience where claiming territory under pressure feels exhilarating yet nerve-wracking as speed power-ups raise the stakes.

About

Qix 2000 offers both a perfectly-translated version of the original and the insanely fun arrangement version, which updates the graphics (giving the Qix itself a Tempest X3-style psychedelic flair) and adds a few power-ups to the mix. The speed-up power-up makes even slow draw fast, and fast draw faster, but the speed-down power-up negates that effect - and heaven help you if you hit the latter while already operating at normal speed.
