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.
Territory

Leave the edge. Draw a line into open space. Get back before the devils touch it — and everything they can no longer reach becomes yours. Territory is a neon arcade game about one decision, made over and over: a small safe claim, or one long pass across the board that is worth six times as much and might not make it home. CLAIM THE SPACE. CONTROL THE RISK. You start on a thin frame of land. The open field belongs to them. Step off your territory and you begin drawing a trail you cannot stop — releasing your thumb does not save you out there. Close the loop and every pocket of space the enemies can no longer reach falls to you at once. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — three lives, levels that introduce new behaviour rather than bigger numbers • Endless — one board that never stops tightening. Chase the score • Time Attack — hit the target before the clock runs out. One life • Zen — no enemies, no failure, no timer. Just the board and the shapes you make • Daily Challenge — the same board for every player, every day SIX THINGS HUNTING YOU Each devil moves differently, and you can read which is which at a glance. The Drifter simply occupies space. The Hunter commits to your trail and accelerates. The Orbiter arcs wide. Chaos will not hold a direction. The Shadow fades out and moves fastest while you cannot see it. The Sentinel walks the edge of your own land, so the border is never a rest. RISK IS THE SCORING SYSTEM Points scale with how much you took in one loop, how long the line was exposed, and how many loops you have closed without dying. Ten careful nibbles are worth far less than one pass that took the same ground. Seal a devil inside your new land and it is gone. BUILT TO BE PLAYED, NOT WATCHED • One thumb, anywhere on the screen • Instant response — turns land on the frame you ask for them • Five unlockable visual themes: Neon Arcade, Void, Cyber Grid, Plasma, Cosmic • Reduced motion, high-contrast cues, and independent sound, music and haptics switches • Every sound, every background and every effect is generated in code — no video, no downloads COMPLETELY OFFLINE No ads. No purchases. No account. No sign-up. Your progress, scores, stars and unlocks live on your device and nowhere else. Play on a plane. Claim the space. Control the risk.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Territory at none against Bix Challenge's 10. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
