Cubixx gets sharper edges in HD sequel for PS3
Last year, developer Laughing Jackal released a PSP Mini called Cubixx, a take on the "surround" gameplay of Qix, across a cube instead of a flat surface. Now the developer is updating its Mini for a much less "miniature" release, as a PS3-exclusive downloadable title. Cubixx HD features new enemies like black holes and asteroids, plus multiplayer with a customizable "Cubot" for each player. And, of course, as you'd expect from the system -- and from the name -- it's been prettied up significantly. Laughing Jackal has yet to announce a release date for Cubixx HD, unfortunately, so we don't get to say "it's just around the corner."
Retro-inspired Cubixx kicks off on PSP Minis
We want to be more upset at Laughing Jackal's wholesale appropriation of the Qix concept -- even going so far as to use a similar title -- for its PSP Minis game, Cubixx. But the fact is that Qix is awesome, whether Taito is making it or not, and it's relatively unexplored compared to other arcade classics like Pac-Man. And Cubixx does add an interesting wrinkle to the Qix gameplay: a cube, in which you attempt to draw lines to cover the area of all six faces. Cubixx will be released in Europe on Thursday 3rd December at a £2.49 price point. See some footage on the other side of the post break.
