About

Territory Arcade

Features
Read full description

Carve neon territory across 100 hand-crafted stages in a fast, focused take on the cut-and-capture arcade classic. Slice the field with a single bold stroke, race back to your wall before the enemies catch you, and claim everything you sealed off. CORE LOOP Draw a line from any edge of your territory. While the line is open you are vulnerable; close it and the side the enemies are not on becomes yours — and when they end up split across both sides, you keep the smaller half. A speed cap on the cutter forces real risk and reward — no cheap full-screen sweeps. Each stage sets its own goal, rising from 60 percent of the board in the early acts to 90 percent at the end. ENEMIES & POWER-UPS Three enemy types reshape the geometry of every stage: the Reflector is the baseline, the Heavy is nearly twice its size at a little over half its speed, and the Dasher is the smallest and the fastest. All three hold a steady pace and bounce off the walls, so a stage is a pattern you can read rather than a reflex test. Pick up Slow Time for room to plan a long cut, or a Shield to survive one mistake — both take effect the moment you touch them. PROGRESSION 100 stages grouped into themed acts ramp the difficulty smoothly from cozy practice grids to multi-enemy gauntlets. Each stage scores you on completion percentage, time, and lives remaining — earn one, two, or three stars and chase a perfect run. Stage select lets you replay any level you have unlocked. DESIGN A neon vector aesthetic, crisp haptics, and a synth soundtrack keep the arcade feel modern without losing the readability that the genre lives on. Built for one-thumb play in portrait on iPhone. NO STRINGS Fully free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription, no account, no tracking. The whole game ships on your device and works offline.

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.
