Description

CX-5213. Rarity 2 common+. North America NTSC. 1 player or 2 players alternating.
A simple plan. Draw a line using only 90° angles to close off a section of the play field. But, watch out for the Stix. A set of lines that bounce around the playfield. If they touch you or your line before you are finished you will lose a life. And there is the Fuses. You can elect to draw lines fast or slow. If you choose fast, you'd best stick with that choice because the fuses will be ignite the beginning of your line and follow it right to you. Finally, Sparx move about you old and new lines trying to get up close and personal. In higher levels, their are more Stix. Points are doubled if you can divide the Stix into different areas. Tripled for dividing 3 Stixs, and so on.
