RoX (Version 3)
for macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)

RoX

Alien invaders are hurling space rocks at the Earth. Your small fleet of spacecraft and your skill stand between Earth and oblivion. Shoot everything that moves, and dodge the rocks and alien missiles. Beware the alien space mines.

It's a timeless classic and fun theme, making for many hours of game play. Sometimes you just feel like saving the planet.

Our beta testers were too busy playing... uh... testing the final build of the game to provide us with witty banter for the press release. However, Marcie Yacktman, who happens to be married to one of our developers said today, "Now that RoX is done, can I have my husband back?"

RoX provides both Windowed & Full Screen display modes, and an Aqua interface featuring the "Chrome" theme for the game skin. RoX includes full Mac Help, including strategy tips and a description of the physics of the game. The game also includes an animated dock icon.

RoX also includes the new illumineX Software Updater. This new feature will save bandwidth and time when updating RoX, by automatically downloading and installing only the new parts of an application, rather than a whole new application image. The Software Update feature is robust and user friendly, thanks to Cocoa and Aqua. It's another example of how macOS brings users the power of Unix, wrapped in the famous Macintosh ease-of-use courtesy.

Pricing and Availability

The illumineX Infinity GamePaX series (including BabelBloX, HextriX, HoppiX, MarbleX, MnemoniX, RoX, and RuniX) is moving to macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and the Mac App Store this year.

Each game will be available for a low price of $4.99 which is 1/2 the original price of each game.

The Mac App Store doesn't allow us to identify our customers, so we are not able to offer upgrade pricing for previous iX Connect customers. Since the GamePaX has only been available as a free download since about 2009, we hope you'll consider this to be a reasonable upgrade fee (about 50 cents a year!)
