Ball and board games have been popular for ages – Palm OS users currently get their JezzBall port, and PocketPC users have SPB’s Xonix II. The idea behind Xonix is simple – but can it stack up?
The idea behind Xonix 2 is that parts of the board are ‘cut off’ with a ‘laser beam’. If the cut-out area is free of enemies, the area is closed. You can proceed from level to level by filling a defined portion of the board:
Xonix 2 contains a variety of enemies that behave differently – it also contains a few popups that modify the game’s behaviour:
This review looked at Xonix 2 Version 1.1 on a hp ipaq rx4240, it was extremely stable in the review time. The game needs about 2MB of RAM and can be installed onto a memory card easily.
Overall, Xonix 2 is simple and great fun. Understanding the rules literally takes seconds – this makes the app ideally suited for parties. If you like the game’s concept, get it now…you will not be disappointed! The price of 9.95$ is more than justified!
