About XorO

THIS BATTLE IS ALL IN THE MIND

The best competive experience comes from understanding all of the moving parts of the competition. A dangerous or smart play is nothing much to someone who doesnt understand its underlying risk and reward."XorO" is a 1vs1 fighting-inspired puzzle game that puts focus on the mind games by getting rid of mechanical, input-based complexity while also having a set of simple, easy to understand rules derived from familiar ideas of tic-tac-toe and rock-paper-scissors. Every play has counterplay, every advantage is earned.The game achieves perfect balance as both sides are completely mirrored in their potential, leaving only sound strategy and big reads to affect the outcome of a match.Although the game is turn-based, there is no first-turn advantage. Players take turns simultaneously, and after ending their turn, watch the moves they took interact with each other. This turn-based game flow also removes the impact of poor connection on a player's performance.

FEATURES

  • Simple, easy to understand rules let players quickly get to thinking about outplaying the opponent
  • Perfect balance where both players are completely mirrored in their potential
  • Online 1vs1 lobbies to challenge friends or strangers
  • Optional settings from board size to extra mechanics allow you to customize the game's rules to your preference
  • Arcade Mode where you can test your skill against increasingly difficult bots

XorO is a really interesting little strategy game because it takes the basic ideas of tic tac toe and rock paper scissors and turns them into something much more focused on reading the other player. I like the fact that it does not depend on fast reactions or complicated controls. Instead, every turn is about trying to work out what my opponent is planning and deciding whether I should play safely or take a risk. The main game is a one on one battle where both players choose their moves at the same time. Once the turns are submitted, I get to see how those moves interact with each other. I think this is a clever system because neither player gets to simply react to what the other person has already done. I have to make my decision based on what I think they are going to do, which gives even simple moves a surprising amount of tension. The rules are also quite easy to understand once I get used to them. That is probably one of the game's biggest strengths for me because I can start experimenting without having to learn a massive collection of abilities or statistics. The board can also be changed, and there are optional mechanics that can be added to matches. This gives me room to…

The art style and animations are amazing, the game would be awsome with friends. The Ai learns your previous moves, but the gameplay can get tedious overtime, but I would recommend playing it if you have friends.
