About Edge Claim
Play Qix online free with Edge Claim, PixelDen's neon take on the classic territory-capture arcade. You live on the edge of a glowing grid: slide along the safe border, slice inward to draw a line, and close the loop to fence off a chunk of the field. Claim the level's target percentage to push deeper into the run.
Everything out there wants to cut your line first. The bouncing orb ends a life the moment it touches you or your unfinished trail, and sparx patrol the border; from level 3 they are allowed onto your line and ride it back toward you. You also get only 12 successful closes per level, so timid nibbling runs you out of claims — bold cuts that grab a big piece are how you clear the target. Draw a whole line with slow draw held for double points, and pick up the shields, slow-downs and extra lives that appear on the edge after a capture.
Edge Claim plays in landscape: arrow keys or WASD on desktop, an on-screen stick with SLOW and pause buttons on phones and tablets. It runs in your browser as HTML5 with no download and no sign-up. Each level adds faster and more numerous pursuers, so a clean early run quickly turns into a nerve test. If you've searched for a free Qix online game or area capture game online, this is the one to start with.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Edge Claim free to play?
Yes. Edge Claim is completely free to play online, with no purchase and no sign-up needed to jump in. It's PixelDen's free take on the classic Qix area-capture arcade formula.
Can I play Qix online with no download?
Yes. This Qix online game runs straight in your browser as HTML5 — there's nothing to install or download. Open the page and you're cutting territory in seconds.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Turn your phone or tablet to landscape and steer with the on-screen stick; hold SLOW for slow draw and tap ‖ to pause. On desktop you use the arrow keys or WASD, with SHIFT for slow draw and P or ESC to pause.
How do you actually win a level?
You slice inward from the border to draw a line, then close the loop to claim the chunk you fenced off. Capture the level's target percentage of the grid within 12 successful closes to advance to the next, faster round.
What makes Edge Claim different from other area capture games online?
Every level gives you only 12 successful closes, so you have to take big, risky cuts instead of nibbling safely. Slow draw doubles the points for a line drawn entirely slowly, pickups hand out shields, slow-downs and extra lives, and from level 3 the sparx can chase you along your own line.
