Cubixx HD is a puzzle game developed by UK-based studio Laughing Jackal released on the PlayStation Network in Europe on August 17, 2011 [1] and September 20, 2011 in North America.[2] It is the HD sequel to Cubixx, a 2009 PlayStation mini title.

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 Kristan 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]
