About

Tixato

Read full description

Think you know tic-tac-toe? Think again, Tixato is an overlapping strategy game where every single move can change everything. There are 9 grids to claim in a game. Play casually with a friend or fight it out by strategically thinking ahead. Tixato takes tic-tac-toe and evolves it to make it a more tactical puzzle game. In Tixato you're effectively playing at least 2 games of tic-tac-toe at once because grids overlap before you get to the last one. Every mark you place on the board doesn't just affect the current grid, it can influence multiple grids at the exact same time. A brilliant move in one corner can trigger a chain reaction, allowing you to win or loose multiple grids in a row. Will you completely crush your opponent or will they be able to block you from taking the win? HOW TO PLAY: Place your device between you and a friend, Player 1 is noughts (red) and Player 2 is crosses (blue). Want to swap, just flip the device around! HOW TO WIN: Victory can be achieved in three ways: 1. Be the first player to conquer 5 out of the 9 grids to claim instant victory 2. If all grids are played, the player with the most grid wins takes the crown 3. If grid wins are equal, the ultimate decider is your score. Earn 10 points for every smart move you make, and a massive 100 points for every grid you successfully win. If everything is even, then the game will end in a draw. GAME CENTER Each achievements in Game Center, some easy to achieve as you make your way through the app and others will take more strategy to achieve.
