Very awesome. It is a bit of a shame that it is so easy. Maybe you should make it so that 90% of the time the computer plays the perfect move
This is rather well executed. I love everything with this game. It's challenging, but you can win as long as you're fast enough. Good work.
Thanks for the feedback! Based on what people have said about it being too easy, I've made a different version with better AI. After the judging is over, I'll post the link.
Love the aesthetic and love the piece of art you always end up with
Clever. It glitches out my mouse a bit, but the gameplay was good.
I could spend so much time playing this. Really want this on my phone. Good job.
Nice game. I don't think it needs to be easier. Tic tac toe is a solved game so there isn't a lot of challenge to get to a draw against a perfect AI.
I really like the style of the game. The graphics are minimal but the contrast of the colors really looks nice. I also agree that it should be a tad bit harder. Right now I can randomly click and win most of the time on the first three boards.
Haha, took a while to figure out the squares built a larger board, like the meta mechanic. :D
Well if you know the one good "strategy" to Tic Tac Toe you can pretty easily beat this.
This would be interesting if there was more strategy in determining where you could place your next one other than just "in any active place". That said, it's a really cool idea nonetheless.
Hello fellow tictactoe recreater. I like your tic-tac-toe-ception.
Interesting idea - I didn't really figure it out until my second go-round, but then I won, and I think I always would, because it's easy to win on the diagonals. I like the gray-on-gray look and the layout - very cool and intuitive.
Using the grid lines as timers is brilliant. Excellent micro/macro mechanic with lickable presentation. I do wish the opponent was a little smarter or the game sped up sooner, but I love it as-is.
Wow, once I won it very nearly broke my brain. I somehow didn't expect that I was supposed to form a line of victorious boards to win completely.
Like others mentioned the game AI is very easy to beat, which is probably for the best given how TicTacToe almost certainly ends in a draw with two contestants who know what they're doing.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Could be a bit harder, but it's fun!
