## What is Tic Tac Tesseract?

Tic tac toe in three dimensions - with a universe trying to stop you.

Play on a 3×3×3 cube where winning lines cut through three spatial dimensions - or step up to the 4×4×4 galaxy, where the cosmos fights back in force. Supernovas scorch nearby systems. Black holes rupture spacetime and swallow settlements. Monsters hunt. Pulsars sweep the board with rotating beams. The Great Attractor drags your settlements off their lines. Stellar Nurseries incubate rewards for whoever claims them first.

Arrange your settlements into constellations - Big Dipper, Orion's Belt, Cassiopeia - to earn powerful one-time rewards. Collect power-ups: encase a system in a Dyson Sphere, pull rivals into a Graviton Wave, jump the turn order - or gather Big Bang fragments from dying black holes and wipe the board.

Outmaneuver the AI, a friend, or two rivals at once. Adapt or lose.

FEATURES
• Two boards - classic 3×3×3, or the bigger 4×4×4 galaxy
• 10 galactic events - Supernova, Gamma Ray Burst, Solar Flare, Gaia, and Nebula everywhere (plus Black Holes, Monsters, Pulsars, the Great Attractor, and Stellar Nurseries on 4×4×4)
• Stars - form constellations for unique one-time power-ups
• A dozen power-ups - Hyperspace, Dyson Sphere, Graviton Wave, and more
• Big Bang - collect 3 fragments from dying black holes to wipe the board
• 1–3 players - face the AI (Easy or Hard), pass-and-play with a friend, or mix humans and AI in 3-player games on 4×4×4
• Save & resume - leave mid-game, pick up right where you left off
• No ads. No subscriptions. One purchase.

Shout out to my spacers, Maximilian and Alexander, for their ideas and playtesting.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.1 — 2026-09-24

What happens when you collapse an entire galaxy? You get the Big Bang! Space boils, the cluster shrinks to nothing, the screen goes white, and a brand new galaxy shows up (with a few events already waiting for you).

Nebula is new on both boards. Trigger one and that system is shielded for three turns.

New to 3D tic-tac-toe? Tap HOW TO PLAY on the start screen. The guided walkthrough covers the board, the events and the bonuses in a few taps.

Playing pass-and-play? The board now turns to face whoever's up, and each player picks their own seat (side by side, or across the table). You can pick your own color now too (there are 16).

Easy and Beginner rivals play looser, so your first game is actually winnable.

Rule changes: black holes now destroy monsters (even one sitting right on top of the black hole). The Great Attractor only pulls along its own face. Supernovae, gamma rays and pulsars pick evenly from the systems around them instead of going after occupied worlds.

Fixes: the turn timer restarts after a timed-out turn, a planet you select stays selected until you settle it, player icons keep their shape, event messages show up in your language, and Play Again alternates who goes first.

Go blow something up!

### 3.0 — 2026-09-05

• TESSERACT — on the 4×4×4 board, whoever completes a 16-system tesseract wins outright, even when it is built from everyone's settlements
• Faster setup — two steps, BACK / NEXT, colors in the gear panel, a name for every human seat
• 17 languages — pick yours on the setup screen
• Turntable camera — drag to spin the board around its axis
• Axes guide — X / Y / Z grid planes and chevrons so you never lose your bearings (toggle in settings)
• Events live on their systems — black holes with photon rings and accretion discs, spinning pulsars with jets, supernova blasts, solar-flare shockwaves, gamma flashes, soft-bodied monsters
• Destructive events always land — flares, supernovas, gamma bursts, black holes and pulsars strike a live neighbour every time; pulsars fire every turn; flares charge up, then fire on a countdown
• Active effects at a glance beside the player chips; the bonus panel tucks away after use
• Sound — real sound effects and stingers
• Fixes — save & resume, quit confirmation on HOME, bigger touch targets, and dozens of visual polish passes

### 2.2 — 2026-08-02

• New turn chime — hear it when play passes to you
• Turn timer and time-extension prompts now reset correctly every turn
• Improved AI intelligence
• Under-the-hood stability and diagnostics improvements

• The Great Attractor — drags nearby settlements into its pull each turn
• Stellar Nurseries — incubating systems; settle one at maturity to claim a Dyson Sphere
• Plus: gravitational lensing near black holes, nebula shields, and Big Bang fragments — collect 3 to unleash a board-wiping Big Bang

NEW: STARS — constellation formations (4×4×4)
• Arrange your settlements into star patterns — Big Dipper, Orion's Belt, Cassiopeia, Triangulum, Southern Cross — to earn unique one-time powerups
