About Xonix

Xonix is a DOS adaptation of the arcade title QIX. The player must claim territory by drawing rectangular shapes within a designated play area.

This task is challenging due to enemies that patrol both the borders and the unclaimed interior space; contact with these adversaries ends the player's attempt. Progress to a new stage is achieved by successfully filling a required percentage of the available area.
