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.

About

Qurvix

Read full description

Qurvix is a fast-paced arcade game inspired by the classic Qix. Guide your marker along the border of the playfield and venture into open space to claim territory. Draw a trail, connect back to the border, and watch the enclosed area fill with colour. Claim 75% of the playfield to advance to the next level. But be careful! The Qurvix, a mesmerising morphing creature, roams the open space. If it crosses your trail while you're drawing, you lose health and your trail is destroyed. And the Sparx patrol the border, ready to punish you for lingering too long. Features - Tilt or swipe controls - choose your style - Increasingly challenging levels with more enemies and faster Sparx - Power-ups: heart (restore health), shield (no health damage), freeze (stop all enemies) - Satisfying neon visuals with glowing trails and electric effects How to play - Tilt mode: tilt your phone to slide the marker along or away from the border - Swipe mode: swipe to launch the marker, or move it along the border (tap to stop) - Venture into open space to draw a trail - Connect back to the border to claim the enclosed area - Collect 75% of the playfield to complete the level - Avoid the Qurvix crossing your trail - it destroys it and drains your health - Stay away from the Sparx on the border - Try to collect the power-ups before they disappear

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Qurvix at every 5 days against Code's every 2 months. Code's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
