Xonix for Atari 8-bit computers offers an exciting gaming experience, inspired by the classic “Qix” (Taito, 1981), but with a unique twist: it uses exclusively text mode characters to immerse players in its unique world.
Developed by Andy Omelyanenko (Ukraine), this game puts you in control of a small marker tasked with making your way through a territory on a grid while avoiding enemy threats lurking within the playing field.
Your mission is clear: dominate enemy territory while dodging bouncing balls and shadowy figures that relentlessly pursue you.
At the start of each game, you have five lives. As you progress, an extra life is awarded every two levels. But beware, attempting to backtrack results in the loss of a precious life.
Feel the adrenaline rush as you adjust the game speed to your liking by simply pressing the number keys from 3 to 9. Despite its graphical simplicity, “Xonix” features a powerful soundtrack that offers an immersive gaming experience. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure that combines conquest and strategy!
