Code: Xonix takes the concept of a very old game running on Windows 95 and adds many improvements. To win, you only need to clear 80% of the dark part in a time allotted while avoiding different types of enemies. You have at your disposal 2 modes: - Level mode, in which you have 25 levels with increasing difficulty. - The random mode that generates a game based on the enemies you have encountered in the level mode. You can play all levels and random mode. The only "in-app" purchase in this game is to remove the ad. Warning this game is not recommended for iphone 5, ipad 3 or less: risk of seriously ramming.
