About

Tic

Features
Read full description

The classic game of Tic Tac Toe, built for Apple Watch. Play a quick round with a friend by passing the watch back and forth — the turn labels automatically rotate so each player can read them right-side up without awkwardly flipping the watch around. Or go solo and take on an AI opponent that actually puts up a fight. FEATURES Two-Player Mode Pass the watch between players. Smart rotating labels mean neither player has to tilt their head. First to three wins takes the bragging rights. 1-Player Mode Two difficulty levels: · Easy — a relaxed opponent, great for kids or casual play · Hard — a minimax-powered AI that blocks your wins, looks for its own, and plays near-perfectly every time Score Tracking Wins, losses, and draws are tracked across rounds so you always know who's ahead. Four Themes Switch between Auto, Light, Dark, and Night to match your style or watch face. Night mode is especially striking on Always-On displays. Haptic Feedback A satisfying tap on every move, a victory pulse when someone wins. No phone. No setup. Just the watch and a few taps.
