To create a new force field, the fire button needs to be pressed at the same time with the movement of the stick.

When you keep the fire button pressed during the creation of a force field, the speed will be slowed down, which has the effet, that you can reach a higher score. The original , Taito America Corporation is named Qix. Qix is pronounced as "kicks". Qix was the first game of this type and there were of course many imitations with similar names to tie in with the success.

In the original, the lines that you could draw with the "Marker" were named "Stix". The main actor was logially named Qix , the two things at the border were Sparx and the "energy accumulation" was named Fuse. Sep CEST. Even in the Remember version see Cheats there was one bug left unfixed.

As you can see in the following screenshot, it can happen - even though it happens VERY rarely - that the programme does not separate the area of the Stix from the already coloured areas. There are several strategies to end a level with the highest possible score and as few lost lives as possible. Example: the less percent of area are left to the Stix at the end, the higher will the points go up.

So you can build "traps" to close the Stix in on the smallest possible area. This can be narrow areas that are "fenced off" on two sides, but also spirals.

But you have to pay attention to the time. Conventional players would probably half the free area as quickly as possible to end the level as fast as possible.

The success of any strategy is always depending on the behaviour of the Stix, which is partially hard to predict. For me personally it is great fun.
