In this game, you direct a marker that draws rectangles and other strange objects to claim your area. You can draw them fast or leisurely. Drawing rectangles "slow" earns the most points. To claim your region, color in a rectangle. Qix (pronounced "kicks"), colored lines that crawl the screen, must be avoided while designing rectangles. In addition to Qix, you must dodge the Sparks who wander around the border, your lines, and The Fuse, who travels down the line you are drawing. After claiming enough territory, you advance.
