An MSX1 game that is heavily inspired by Taito's QIX.

Gameplay

In Mix, you cordon off pieces of the playing field. You may move only on the border of the open area, unless you are drawing a new line.

If the red enemies circling the playing field hit you, you're done for. If the big green monster in the middle touches an open line you're still drawing, you're done for. If the time runs out, you're done for.

It's fine if the big monster touches you, mind you.

When enough of the playing field has been cordoned off, the scene is cleared.

Scoring

You gain points by cordoning off area.

If you manage to leave one of the Tracers outside, you will gain bonus points and the enemy will respawn after a short period.

If there are multiple enemies in the middle, then separating them with a line will:

1. clear the level as if you had painted 100% of the level
2. double your the time bonus in that level

Controls

You can move only on the edge of the open area. When you press FIRE and push away from the edge, you will start drawing a new line. You may not loop back to the unfinished line.

Unlike in Qix, the line drawing speed is constant.
