hahahah nice use of creativity, first puzzle was great, I tried something like that first time I played actually but my dumbass tried with red dots and didn't see the Xs. Second one I actually did on accident, I just used my real life monopoly instinct of stealing others money, but still very witty and fun. Good job and great idea! :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear it was fun

Very fun idea! Somehow I always landed in (or on :) ) a strange place a few times, before eventually I figured it out. 

Developer

how strange! :D

Pretty interesting game! I liked how you had to be creative to solve the puzzles (which I certainly wasn't LOL, the hints helped alot). Nice game! :D

Developer

thanks for playing!

Couldn't figure it out, had fun trying, love the art!

Developer

thanks! (if you decide you want to try again, there are some hints in the description)

The AI is really good.  I don't understand how you did it in a single week. Great job!

Submitted

finally!

Developer

congrats! glad you were able to solve them :)

For the tic-tac-toe AI, I used minimax. tictactoe has a small number of moves, so it doesn't need any optimization to solve

For the monopoly-like, there are a few simple rules that are enough to make the game behavior feel sufficiently strange :)

This game is impossible.

This was really fun to play!

glad you enjoyed :)

Really enjoyed the Tic Tac Toe (took me some time to figure out); monopoly didn't feel as clever, but I guess this is how I always wanted to play monopoly ^^

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

very innovative, cute ideas in both levels! looking forward to playing a couple more :)

Developer

thanks forthe kind words :)

One of the most creative submissions ive seen so far. The tic tac toe solution was very clever, and I love the silly off brand stuff. I also like the detail of strange place being on the Landlord Monopolists board.

Only thing I think is that the connection to the theme strange places is very vague, but its still great

Developer

thanks for playing! good feedback that the theme could be more prominent through the player's placement actions

totally normal. Reminds me of the impsible quiz game

Developer(+1)

thanks! totally inspired by the Impossible Quiz and similar flash games

Awesome game! 

Love the twist i had to take to get past Tic tac toe 😁

Developer

thanks for playing :D

Submitted(+1)

Wow I had to think a lot on that one ! Great experience and bravo for the hand drawings :)

Developer

thanks! it was my first time doing the art by hand, it was fun to learn!

Submitted(+1)

I loved how each game had a way to win that wasn't the traditional way to win, made you think hard. I felt I didn't really get that instantly but I appreciated the little hint in the games description on your page!

Overall loved it!

Developer

glad the nudges were helpful, and glad you enjoyed :)

I tried so long to beat that tic tac toe game fair and square until I just started trying random stuff. I was so shocked once I finally figured it out. The second was a lot easier for me to figure out after realizing that the best way to win was to cheat. Really cool game!

Developer

Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!

Some fun puzzles :D, leaves me wanting for more. very enjoyable!

Submitted(+1)

I actually thought you were supposed to win a fair game of tic-tac-toe 

I tried for so long before I realized 😂

The second one was a bit easier to figure out as soon as I found out what you can do 😂


Quite a fun game, was enjoyable

Good job!

thanks for the feedback, and for playing. glad you enjoyed!:)

Nice puzzle game! I played three fair tic-tac-toe matches before I started dragging everything everywhere :D. the other one is way easier to guess. Fun game!

Developer(+1)

thanks, appreciate the feedback :)

This was very cute. Funny thing is I got stuck on the tic tac toe and I asked Gemini for help, and it didn't help 😭

Then I realized I can .... and got it right.


Very fun, good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Spoliers tho, request that you keep it vague :)
