You are a green square. Move through empty space to create a cyan trail. Return to blue territory to enclose and capture an area.

Reach the target percentage to advance to the next level. The target percentage decreases, and enemies get faster.

A video of the gameplay is the way to go. So far so good. I like retro games and retro inspired games.
The game is a undoubtable a clone of the arcade classic "QIX" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qix) in the style of "SNAKE" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_(video_game_genre)) without the simplest imaginable graphics: solid squares.. Beside the really simple graphics, the repetitive PONG-sound made me sick in the first 30 seconds of watching the video. Though playing makes at least a little bit fun, I can not understand what kind of computer program this should be in the year 2025, the original is from 1981. 100Megabytes download for a game that reminds me to the look of the games on the old Atari 2600 system, without the charm and without the possibilities and the thrill of the original, there is only 1 speed for the moving player cursor, and instead of moving and shape changing sparks, the enemies are reduced to uniform red balls. Search for "QIX online" and instantly play it in your browser (Cursor-keys + Space-key) and get an imagination how this game worked under DOS, 36 years ago. It is abandonware now, and only 196Kilobytes in size.
