I play this a lot while listening to audio books & on airplanes, it's a fun little game.

One of my fav games

I just wish it had the option for a slow fuse for more points - like the original.

Ads pop up mid-game right as you're about to move screwing your timing completely and timing is EVERYTHING. Unless you BUY the ad-free version. Don't buy the ad free. Don't pay for this ransomware game. Don't even play it for free.

Crashes on Game Over

As far as simple time-wasters go, Bix is actually really fun. It’s a great way to pass time and trying to get further than before. However, this game is in major need of an update. While a visual overhaul would breathe new life into this game and make it feel like it isn’t stuck in iPhone OS 2 (where I first got it in the first few months after the App Store was first available) my current issue is that the game does not run well with iOS 11. With iOS 11, Bix crashes when you lose your last life. This means you cannot see your end score (unless you check it right before you get hit, which may be why you got hit at all) and you cannot contribute to your personal leaderboard. It also abruptly changes to a new level when you win, which can make it seem like you got hit until you realize you have a new color scheme that denotes a new level. Overall I still really like this game. It’s simple, addicting, and keeps bringing me back! I just wish the crashes would be fixed, and a design overhaul would be awesome to bring the game up to current-day app expectations. (The ability to make custom levels would be fun too, as well as multiple varieties of game modes or difficulty settings)

Worked fine before last apple update

Since last update by apple, when the player is to move from one level to the next, it jumps too soon....without completing the last levels info. This happened on my ipad and now a few days later on my iPhone. Now i have deleted the app on my ipad...and when I activated again, i was asked to pay for ad-free again. Before all of this I would have given 4 stars, no very unhappy so only 3. Good game really, i used to play the old coin op QIX version. FYI I HAVE DELETED BOTH THIS ONE AND THE CHALLENGE ONE! Apparently you have not been able to fix the problem in over a month now and it is not enjoyable anymore. I deleted once already and when I tried to reinstall I was being charged again. it was a fun game, but it has been ruined. What is the problem?

Excellent but needs update!

This is an excellent, addictive game but needs a serious update: the game crashes upon using your last life. An overhaul in looks wouldn’t go amiss either.

Jezzball…not Qix

iShubes

If you're looking for a game similar to Qix (the old arcade game by Taito that was eventually ported to GameBoy), you'll have to keep looking. This isn't it. I thought it was, but discovered right away that this is much more akin to the old Windows 3.1 game, Jezzball. Fun in its own right, yes; but don't let the name fool you. There aren't multiple speeds on this game (remember, you would score higher in Qix if you filled in space using the slower speed, but it was riskier); there's only one speed. As you level up, the number of randomly floating balls increases…again, just like Jezzball. You can sometimes "trap" them, but more often, when you box in one of the floating balls, it reappears in another part of the screen. The game is really simple, but so much like Jezzball—and so UNLIKE Qix—that I lost interest after just a couple days. It's not "un-fun"; just not what I was looking for. Loved playing Qix on my GameBoy, and this isn't a replacement, sadly. ??
