Read full description

Two game modes are supported: Classic: Get 3 symbols on a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line before your opponent wins. Funny: Complete the connection through pieces of different sizes. The gameplay and rules of the game are no different from ordinary tic-tac-toe. The pieces are divided into large pieces, medium pieces and small pieces according to their size. Among them, the middle piece can devour the small piece, and the big piece can devour the middle piece and the small piece. In this way, you can replace your own pawn in the enemy's position.

Verdict

The call

Tic Tac Toe and Tic both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Tic's written reviews are positive against 64% of Tic Tac Toe's. Tic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months). Tic Tac Toe's advantage is ratings volume (157 vs 8). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tic Tac Toe holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tic Tac Toe has 157 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Tic Tac Toe's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tic Tac Toe ships an update every 12 months, Tic weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
