A new take on Bix Challenge, the line-drawing arcade classic in the spirit of Qix, Xonix and JezzBall. Draw lines to cut the field, fill it with light and trap the bouncing balls. One rule to master: when you close a line, the side with fewer balls fills up. Easy to learn, fiendishly hard to master. WHAT'S INSIDE • 100 levels across 10 galaxies, each with its own twist: ball traps, line limits, dark zones, time trials, giant balls, ice walls and hunters • The Rift: beat level 100 and a hidden climb opens. How high can you go? • Three stars to earn on every level, chests to open, gold balls to collect • Boosters when you need a hand: Slow start and Shield • Glowing visuals made for today's iPhone and iPad • The original soundtrack, now opening up as you fill the field • Your progress is saved in iCloud and follows you to your other devices • Plays offline THE ORIGINAL, STILL HERE Bix Challenge has been played by over a million people since 2008, reaching #2 in France, #3 in Germany and #4 in the UK. The classic version is still in the app, exactly as you remember it: turn on "Classic version" in Settings.

Play with Spot and enjoy the stories behind the junk items he collects! Your friend Spot spends his days happily running around the wide meadow, bringing you various junk items he finds along the way. Engage in games with Spot to receive the collected items. Remember the sequence in which Spot turns his head and compete in the 'Guess Which Way' game. When you win, Spot lets go of the item and proudly shows it to you. The odd items that Spot presents to you range from mundane things like bones and worn-out shoes to valuable items like gems and gold nuggets. Take a look at old photos and diaries hidden in abandoned houses, and imagine the comedies and tragedies experienced by their previous owners. The blood-stained handkerchief that Spot brings back one day might serve as a crucial clue in an unsolved mystery. What sad memories might be encapsulated in the small, ownerless ring? Through these unusual objects, catch glimpses of the lives of their past owners. There are over 850 different kinds of these junk items included. Spot brings a selection of them to you every day. Open the app during brief moments, whether you're waiting for a train, lunchtime, or while standing in line for the restroom, and take a peek at his findings. What will Spot show you this morning? Could the item Spot shares tonight be connected to the one he brought the day before yesterday, sharing a common owner? Why not start adding a touch of enjoyment to your daily routine with the company of Spot? Give it a try starting today! Since its release over a year ago, we’ve updated Spot Has Found This regularly, and the number of junk items has already more than doubled from the initial launch. We plan to keep adding even more with future updates. Whether you’re trying it for the first time or returning after a break, we hope you’ll enjoy the daily discoveries alongside Spot!
