App Description

Ballistyx, the popular and highly addictive retro game from the 90's has been re-written and had a graphic make over too!

As an added bonus you get Buglistyx included with the game (Graphics that the kids and grown ups will enjoy!)

See http://ballistyxgame.wordpress.com/how-to-play/ for detailed instructions.

The Ballistyx have been busy creating havoc and have opened up the gaps in the fabric of time and space, only you are able to weave your thread to seal the fabric and see off the pesky Ballistyx fiends!

To move to the next stage and save your world you must cover at least 75% of the gaps in time with your thread, trapping the Ballistyx as you got and limit their damage.

You can move within the Blue thread relatively safely (Avoid the Ballistyx) but to recover the fabric of time you must move into the empty space until you reach the safety of the Blue thread, you will leave a trail of Red Yarn. You must move quickly back onto the safe blue line. This creates a patch which will be filled with new fabric. The bigger the patchwork, the larger you score!

You must avoid being hit by the Ballistyx at all costs, those that live on the thread can follow you, those that live in space, must not connect with your or the new red thread!

To protect you, you have a limited number of reversals available to you that will switch the direction of any Ballistyx chasing you, use them sparingly though!

The more patchwork you create filling more then 75% of the empty space will gain bigger bonus points.

Extra Ballistyx may appear on the blue thread when the countdown timer reaches zero, so watch out!

There are a number of game customisations at your disposal to make the game harder or easier for you, along with multiple achievements to be earnt.

We have more developments and game modes coming soon!

There are three types of control available in the Game Options menu, choose the one that best suits your game style.
