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
