For detailed information about this series, see: Qix at Wikipedia
Qix is a series of puzzle videogames by Taito.
The gameplay has the player control a cursor to draw lines on the screen trying to create a closed shape and clear a portion of the screen, while trying not to let the titular moving obstacle touch any of the lines as they're being drawn.
While the first game in the series is a purely abstract game, subsequent games added fictional elements, most notably Volfied having space themes, with the player cursor represented by a spaceship, and Qix Adventure starring a boy named Speedy who travels around the world and fights monsters.
