Tic Tactic transforms the classic childhood game into a high-stakes roguelike. Players face off in turn-based battles, using a tic-tac-toe board to deal damage by creating combos. Every move counts—the board doesn’t clear, meaning mistakes linger and opportunities stack. Each run introduces new enemies, environments, and narrative discoveries as players push further into the mystery of what happened at the Duck Pond.

Positioning tiles becomes the key to victory, as players create devastating patterns to unleash attacks, disrupt enemy strategies, and trigger dazzling chain reactions. Building a deck from over two dozen unique tiles adds another layer of strategy, with abilities ranging from disruptive board-wiping moves to precision strikes. Each run challenges players to refine their approach, adapt to stronger enemies, and experiment with different combinations to keep opponents guessing.

The world of Tic Tactic is as odd as it is dangerous. Players will journey through distinctive environments, encounter eccentric survivors and deserters, and piece together a cryptic narrative hidden beneath the feathers and chaos. The roguelike progression system ensures no two runs feel the same, with procedurally generated challenges, powerful rewards, and a leaderboard that rewards skill, persistence, and creativity. Whether pushing for survival, experimenting with new strategies, or climbing the ranks, every run becomes an opportunity to prove skill and persistence.
