Statix

Statix is a 1-player arcade game for the BBC Micro.

The Statix is a dangerous electrical charge which twists and turns unpredictably as it guards its territory. The player controls a character that can safely move around the boundary of the screen, but is vulnerable when moving onto the Statix's territory. The player tries to gain territory by cordoning off sections of the screen by drawing blocks, with the goal to gain 75% of the screen to move to the next level with a faster-moving Statix. The player must avoid sparks which follow the player, and fuses which chase the player if they draw new boundaries too slowly.
