Synopsis

Ixion is an Atari 2600 port of an unreleased Sega game from 1983. The player must collect five white squares to form the word "Ixion" before time runs out. Initially, only certain squares are visible and you must reveal the others by moving a brown sphere. Immobile by default, this sphere can be propelled by hitting it or shooting it, then bouncing on the grid, revealing squares and destroying enemies. It eventually stops and must be restarted to continue the exploration. Mastering your movement is essential to progress. Enemy drones roam the grid and shoot at the player, destroying squares and making crossing difficult. Although they are easy to eliminate, their explosion removes the square they occupied, adding additional difficulty.
