You die if the Qix touches any uncompleted Stix or if your marker is touched by any of the “Sparx” – enemies that traverse all playfield edges except uncompleted Stix. There is no defence against the Qix or Sparx (that is, no [[smart bomb]] or anything like that) and you must out-maneuver them in order to survive. | You die if the Qix touches any uncompleted Stix or if your marker is touched by any of the “Sparx” – enemies that traverse all playfield edges except uncompleted Stix.

The flaw in the game is that a gap must have a certain width before a Qix can get through it. One can ''nearly'' close off space so that boxes made in the space still count, but the Qix is, practically, shut out. It can’t get to you so you are free to create elaborate patterns and intricate boxes to your heart’s content, without fear of annihilation. This is more or less the life goal of a [[mediocre lawyer]]. | |||
