About Xixit

Xixit is a DOS puzzle game that draws inspiration from the Columns series. Its core mechanics involve manipulating falling groups of three blocks within a confined play area.

Players control the placement of these blocks to form matching sets. These sets, which can be aligned horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, are cleared from the pit when three or more identical blocks connect.

The game was created by demoscene developers. While the standard release is a single-player experience, obtaining the registered version unlocks an additional two-player competitive mode.
