XOROS takes the classic game of tic-tac-toe and transforms it into a deep, strategic battle. Play across up to 9 interconnected boards, earn combat power-ups, and outmaneuver your opponent in this fresh twist on a timeless game. THE GAME Every move matters twice. Place your mark on a cell, and your opponent must play on the board that matches your cell's position. Control where your opponent plays while setting up your own wins across multiple boards. COMBAT POWER-UPS Win a board, earn a power-up. Six unique abilities turn every match into a tactical showdown: Bomb: Destroy an opponent's cell Shield: Make your cell permanently invincible Steal: Take over an opponent's cell as your own Swap: Redirect play to any board you choose Double Play: Take two turns back to back Blind: Hide a board's marks from your opponent LOADOUT STRATEGY Before each match, pick your starting power-ups. Build a loadout that fits your playstyle — go aggressive with Bombs and Steals, play defense with Shields, or control the board with Swaps. GAME MODES Tutorial: 10 levels that teach every mechanic step by step, introducing one new power-up per stage VS Local: Two players, one device. Perfect for head-to-head battles VS AI: Three difficulty levels — Easy, Medium, and Hard FLEXIBLE BOARDS Play on 1 to 9 boards. Fewer boards make for quick, focused games. The full 9-board arena requires three boards in a row on the meta-grid — a game of strategy within strategy. Whether you have two minutes or twenty, XOROS delivers a satisfying challenge every time.
