Squarkix

Squarkix[tm] is a classic-style arcade game for Apple® iOS® available on Apple's app store. Squarkix are green square tiles that appear on the screen and turn into globes when you touch them.

You score one point for each squarkix you touch. The first few levels of the game are easy: squarkix are big and slow. But each new level brings smaller, quicker squarkix: use your fingertips to touch as many squarkix as possible.

Game levels

The following pictures show different levels of the game.

Misses

Touching a squarkix-free area is a miss; each level allows a limited bonus number of misses, so be careful and aim well at squarkix.
