Volfied is a classic sci-fi puzzle-action game released for arcades by Taito in 1989. Serving as a spiritual successor to the iconic Qix, this game tasks players with reclaiming their home planet by piloting a small scout ship to cut away sections of the screen. Its distinctive sci-fi setting, alien boss encounters, and power-up system make it a standout evolution of the area-capture genre.
How to play
The objective is to claim at least 80% of the screen by drawing lines to enclose space. You are safe while moving along the border, but vulnerable when cutting across the playfield. Arcade controls in the browser typically use 5 or Shift to insert a coin, 1 or Enter to start, the Arrow keys to move, and an action button (usually Z, X, or Space) held down to draw a line and capture territory.
Tips
Enclosing the special gray blocks scattered around the screen yields power-ups like speed boosts or lasers that can temporarily clear out smaller enemies. For a safer strategy, wait until the main boss drifts into a corner or away from the center before quickly cutting across to claim a large section of the board at once.
