Spectrix

Claim the void piece by piece in vibrant color. A fast-paced tribute to the 80s arcade classic, Qix.

Dive into the darkness and paint your way to victory. Spectrix is a retro-futuristic arcade game where your quick reflexes and strategic planning are your only weapons against the glowing threats of the void.

🎯 The Objective

Your mission is simple but dangerous: draw lines to enclose empty space and claim it as your own. Capture the required percentage of the map to advance to the next world. But beware! If an enemy touches your line while you are drawing, you lose.

Plan your cuts, avoid your enemies, and conquer the grid!

✨ Features

  • Classic Arcade Mechanics: A modern love letter to the timeless gameplay of Qix and Volfied. Easy to understand, incredibly hard to master.
  • 37 Escalating Worlds: Travel through 37 unique levels of increasing difficulty.
  • High-Contrast Neon Aesthetic: Experience a carefully crafted, fatigue-free visual progression. Every world introduces a new, intense neon color against a pure black canvas.
  • Smooth & Fast Paced: Instant respawns and fluid movement to keep you in the zone.

🕹️ Controls

  • Arrow Keys (⬆️⬇️⬅️➡️): Move your ship and draw lines to claim territory.
