Fun and creative game! I enjoyed the hectic nature of trying to make good plays across six different boards. The best score I managed was 62 wins

Very cool and quite fun

Its a cool concept I'm not very good at this game though but I still like what your going for, It kinda like infinite tic tac toe, but Better lol I like the style too! Congratz!

Very simple concept, but the Game is really cool! I played it longer than I first thought xD

Wow, what a simple but so well executed concept, awesome stuff! The random plays that computer makes was a great design decision imo, having it not smart, awesome job!!

This was a fun game! Its a pretty simple concept but the count down adds a nice level of urgency to the gameplay. You nailed the chalkboard aesthetic as well. I think one thing you can improve is your visual cues for when the boards are ready. Maybe it was just me, but I would forget/not see that another board was ready. I think there needs to be a bigger difference between the thinking state and the playing state.

Awesome job!

Thanks for the feedback! I am working on punching up the visual feedback for the post-jam updates. Do you think color would help? The thinking state is still white, same as the playable state. Or do you think it should just be "louder" somehow?

Hmm thats a good question. I think thats one of those things where you come up with maybe 2-3 different iterations and trial them separately with play testers. Then you’ll know which is best for bringing attention to the “thinking” boards. Color is a good place to start. Maybe a small particle effect like a sparkle would work too. Good luck!

I thought i would hate this but it was surprisingly a very nice and engaging game. It is brain candy! Quick simple decisions. And the sound design is chef's kiss!

Submitted(+2)

Somehow, you've managed to make tic tac toe fun. Funnily enough, it's a good thing that the ai is bad at the game, otherwise this would be really boring. Only complaint I have is the sound effects, they're good but when there's so much stuff happening at once, they play a lot.

Very fun idea! So this is what chess grandmasters feel when they play multiple games at once?

Developer(+2)

I don't think chess GMs lose as much :'(

It felt like that ring game solving scene from Planet Of the Apes, I was on the zooone :P. Fantastic game!

Realy like the ton of the game/rules/result ^^ A bit snarky it's nice

Submitted(+2)

Damn this was way harder then I thought when I read the explanation, really fun tho. Playing multiple tictactoegames with a timer is soo stressfull. Its a simple concept but really well made!

Submitted(+2)

Very nice sounds :).

Quite complex.

The visuals look nice.

Submitted(+2)

Hee-Ho. Cute game, very nice. Cool speed, absolutely brain damage 

Submitted(+2)

It's surprising how difficulty juggling multiple tic-tac-toegames can be lol, I can't believe how many wins I straight up missed. Managed to get 28 wins 8 losses and 2 ties tho, great job!

Submitted(+2)

This is a really creative game actually. it's much more addicting than I thought it would be. I only got to 25 wins, but the concept has potential to be expanded on I think.

Submitted(+2)

Very addictive, played randomly to play faster, lost many games this way, loved every second of it. Great idea, ggs! Got 18 wins before losing :(
