This works really well.  It does seem like the fuses are a tougher to deal with but that's ok.  Excellent title!

Thanks. This was my second ever pico-8 game. Still pleased with how it turned out.

This is a really fun version of the classic Qix game, I used to really enjoy it on the GameBoy so it's great to see it come back on the Pico-8. The fuses move really fast in this so you have to be on the lookout the whole time, which makes it really tense and fun! The presentation of the title screen is really great too.

Thanks. Wasn't sure how the whole line-based graphics thing would look on Pico-8's low resolution but really pleased how it turned out. Thanks for the feedback.
