Fortix is a new version of the 80’s popular arcade game Qix. The game is set in a beautiful fantasy setting and boosted with brand new strategic elements. The aim is still to conquer the playfield by cutting out parts of it and the monsters are still there to make your life harder, but there are new enemies you have to think of. There is a castle on each playfield with towers at their corners. Those towers immediately start shooting at you if you set out to conquer part of the land. There are two ways to win: either by conquering 90% of the land or by conquering the castle. In order to deal with the towers you can use catapults. If you can gain control over the catapults, they will shoot out the towers and you may claim the castle. Additional feature to the old arcade version are the powerups. They help you with invulnerability or speed to gain advantage over the monsters which will become more and more vicious after each level.
