The way pieces of the field are captured are by drawing a line from the edge. Once the line has drawn a completely boxed in shape it will be considered to be captured.</p><p>There are enemies that travel around the play field that if hit one of the players lives will be lost. There are two enemy types in the game: Sparx, which will chase the players cursor along a line being created and Qix, which is a spinning helix that tries to directly hit the players cursor.</p><p>If an enemy is captured inside of a box by the player a treasure on the playfield will open up, which will allow the player to retrieve the treasure located inside.</p><h3>Game Modes</h3><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/10/103881/2166382-3.png" data-ref-id="1300-2166382" data-size="small" data-embed-type="image" data-ratio="0.89859594383775"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:89.9%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/10/103881/2166382-3.png" data-ref-id="1300-2166382"><img alt="Game Mode Select Screen" src="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_small/10/103881/2166382-3.png" srcset="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/10/103881/2166382-3.png 641w, https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_medium/10/103881/2166382-3.png 480w, https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_small/10/103881/2166382-3.png 320w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320"></a><figcaption>Game Mode Select Screen</figcaption></figure><p>There are three game modes that can be played:</p><ul><li><b>Treasure</b> - Treasure mode is the main story mode of the game.
