Claim the planet. One finger, sixty-three levels, no mercy. Cosmo Xonix is a 3D take on the classic area-capture arcade game. Steer your terraforming probe off the safe edge, cut a line through open ground, and close it back to the surface — everything you enclose becomes yours. Hesitate and a meteor finds you. Get greedy and the whole run collapses one cell from home. WHAT'S INSIDE • 63 hand-built levels across 7 worlds, each with its own target, par time and hazard mix • A giant guardian at the end of every world — you can't hit it, you can only take its ground • 5 enemy types that hunt differently — meteors ricochet, hunters lock onto your trail, edge walkers patrol the shore, spiked rocks roam the ground you already own, and breakers chew straight through it • Escalation: survive long enough and the level answers back with more speed and more hunters • 12 pickups — 7 that help, 5 that punish. Freeze the swarm, or blind yourself for six seconds • Three heroes to pick from — same rules, different feel, and one of them fires back • Daily quests and a day streak that pay out in star coins • Every capture uncovers hand-painted world art buried under the surface • A leaderboard for every level and a new season every month • Breakable terrain, an orbital countdown dial and a 3D planet map to pick your next zone • Earn credits, unlock probe trails, enemy themes and medallion frames — cosmetics only, never a shortcut • Achievements, lifetime stats, and a run card you can share in one tap • Plays fully offline. Portrait, one hand, no account required — sign in with Apple, Google or email only if you want a spot on the boards BUILT FOR SHORT SESSIONS A level is two to four minutes. The countdown dial tells you exactly how long you have; the trail heats orange when you have pushed too far. Read the board, take the cut, get home. FAIR MONETIZATION Cosmo Xonix is free. The first five levels you clear are completely ad-free, then a short ad appears every fourth clear — never mid-level, never during your victory screen. One purchase removes them permanently. Available in Arabic, English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French, Italian, Indonesian, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. No registration, no data selling, no gameplay behind a paywall.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RetroQix at none against Cosmo Xonix's shown. RetroQix also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
