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 in North America.[2] It is the HD sequel to Cubixx, a 2009 PlayStation mini title.
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.
Reviews of Cubixx HD have been generally favorable with a Metacritic score of 77 out of 100.[3] Kristan Reed of Eurogamer praised the title as the best reinvention of its antecedent Qix,[4] while Joel Gregory of PlayStation Official Magazine (UK) called it "addictive", but frustrating strategy game for PSN.[5]
