Battle Qix is a video game released in 2002 for the Sony PlayStation in Japan, exclusively.

Gameplay

Battle Qix generally works identically to the original Qix titles, and also features a strong element of playing against an opponent to complete a round with a greater score than the other. There are also a variety of power-ups available to collect, that may increase scoring or extend the Sparx counter. Completing stages reveals artwork of the game's various characters.

There are several modes of play:

• Single player
• Player versus Computer
• Player versus Player
• Practice

In practice mode, players may select various parameters like the amount of rounds played, the completion threshold, and the difficulty of opponent CPUs.

For multiplayer games, both players are on the same playfield to complete the threshold, but only the player with the greater area taken will win the round. Won games will complete a star for that player character, and up to four stars per character can be earned. Players cannot cross their Stix when playing, and will only cause a collision as though it was a wall—but should a player trap another within a section, they will be defeated.

Characters

Battle Qix features a small series of characters to play as or against. After completing a stage, a small animation of the winning player will play. There are eight for all characters, except for Momoko who only has two. There are no gameplay differences for each character.

Scoring

Points are earned by filling out sections. Capturing a Spritz will only give a bonus as opposed to doubling point totals.

In multiplayer modes, points are replaced with coins, which are granted for the successful completion of 1% of the threshold. Ten coins are awarded to the opponent for a player death.

Power-Ups

There are a variety of power-ups that bounce around the screen. Capturing them within a section will add them to the player for a short duration.

Blue "S" Triangle

This power-up is a temporary speed-boost.

Green "B" Star

This power-up grants a one-time shield that prevents losing to a Sparx.

Yellow Star

This power-up grants extra points and clears all Spritz from the screen.

Pink Down Arrow

This power-up only appears in multiplayer modes. It will reduce the speed of the opponent.

x2

This power-up only appears in multiplayer, and doubles points for the rest of the round. Collecting this will pause the gameplay to play an animation.
