Gameplay
The gameplay of Cubixx HD is based upon the classic arcade game Qix. The player controls a robot that fires a laser at a cube with the objective of erasing its sides. A variety of enemies and power-ups become available as the player progresses.
Reception
Reviews of Cubixx HD have been generally favorable with a Metacritic score of 77 out of 100,[3] with Kristian Reed of Eurogamer praising the title as the best reinvention of its antecedent Qix [4] and Joel Gregory of PlayStation Official Magazine (UK) calling it "one of the most gloriously addictive, knuckle-bitingly frustrating strategy experiences you can have on PSN."[5]
