Cordon off eighty percent of a map before the beasties get you, and you're laughing!

Review

You've been listening haven't you? At least, Nicolas Pietrowski has: "It's simple, funny and addicting, and I made it," he says. We say: "it IS simple; it IS fun, and we ARE addicted - well done." Nicolas has taken an age old format (the name of which escapes us - we are looking shamefully at the floor and moaning) and spruced it up a bit and it's still good fun.

Each level has a different shaped 'arena' and it's your job to cordon off 80% of that arena successfully. You cordon areas off by choosing horizontal or vertical, and then clicking to begin a line drawing. If it reaches the edge of the arena uninterrupted, at both ends, then you gain control of the smaller, cordoned off section. This gets increasingly difficult as more and more types of obstacle seek to get in your way. But that makes it all the more satisfying sending them packing.

Controls

Use the space bar to rotate the cursor between horizontal and vertical; move the mouse to choose your spot, and then left-click to begin the line drawing.

Tips

You have a certain amount of cordons, based on a scale of colours, so be careful how you distribute them. Also, you can 'kill' enemies by trapping them behind the cordon... but if it's their colour, they will multiply and come back at you, so be careful.

I think the game you're trying to remember is "Qix"
