I'm not sure what, if any significance there is to the capture area color. And does that trumpet sound mean it released a new sparx? I know he does something at the top to trap at least one, possibly two, in a loop-de-loop they can't figure out how to get out of. That one I haven't quite figured out what he's doing. Biggest problem is, I can't always see where the player's drawing spot is.


You were correct to come to me with these questions. There's two modes to draw boxes on the screen - fast draw and slow draw. Slow draw gives more points, but since you move the styx slower, you are more at risk to getting yourself killed. Slow draw is red if I remember right and fast draw is cyan.

I believe the trumpet sound is played when you successfully claim more area.

The sparx trap is pretty clever and it took me a few tries on my Qix machine before I could make it happen. It doesn't SEEM like it should work, but I the sparx follow an edge that you wouldn't guess they would follow.
