Tic Tac Toe as you know it, with one twist: weapons that change the board. Get three in a row, just like always. But every game deals each player a random hand of weapons, and one well-timed move can turn a lost game around. Slide a row so your marks line up. Bomb the mark that was about to beat you. Spin the whole board. The rule stays simple; the game never plays the same way twice. DAILY BOARD A new board every day, the same for everyone: the same size, the same rule, the same weapons on both sides. Play it in a few minutes, share your result as a card, and see how your friends did. Only your first try counts. 12 WEAPONS • Bomb Cell: remove any mark from the board • Spin Row and Spin Column: slide a line one step, wrapping round • Rotate, Flip and Mirror: turn or flip the whole board, or copy your last move to its mirror square • Shuffle: scatter every mark at random. High risk, high reward • Expand Board: add a row and a column, mid-game • Freeze and Extra Time: with the turn timer on, skip your opponent's next turn or buy yourself 15 seconds Each weapon explains itself the first time you use it, so you can jump straight in. PLAY YOUR WAY • Against the computer on Easy, Medium or Hard • Pass and play with someone next to you • Nearby multiplayer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, no internet needed • Play repeats your last game in one tap MAKE IT YOURS • Boards from 3×3 up to 24×24 • Choose how many in a row wins, and which directions count • Add a turn timer, from 5 seconds to 2 minutes • 1 to 6 weapons each, or switch them off for classic play EVERY WIN TELLS ITS STORY See how the line was made ("Spin Row completed the line"), keep a record of wins, losses and draws, and build a streak just by turning up. If you like, one gentle reminder in the evening on days you haven't played. Never more than that. FREE, NO NONSENSE No ads. No subscriptions. No account. No tracking. Your record stays on your device. If you enjoy the game, there's an optional tip jar. It unlocks nothing; it just says thanks. Tic Tac Toe: Warfare runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Welcome to Assembly Line 2, the sequel to the factory-building and managing game. Assembly Line 2 combines elements from idle and tycoon games. Make the most money by using different types of machines to build an assembly line to craft resources and sell them. Unlock upgrades to make it more efficient and expand your factory. The goal is simple, build resources and sell them. Starting with a few machines and very basic resources, and using them with more advanced machines to craft and create more complex resources. Your factory will continue generating money even when you are offline. When you return to the game you will have piles of money waiting for you, but don't spend it all in one place! While Assembly Line 2 is an idle game, because you make the layout of your factory, it is up to you to optimize it to make the most money possible. Don't worry if you get lost with all those machines to build, the game offers an information menu so you can see what each machine does at any time. It also offers information on each resource price, so you can make decisions on what to craft. You can also see stats on the amount you are producing. Features: - 21 different machines to build and optimize the best factory. - Tons of upgrades to increase productivity. - Around 50 different unique resources to craft. - Multi-language support. - Backup your progress. - No internet required.
