Overview

Three in a row isn't a win. It's a shot. TIC.EXE: Tic-Tac-Toe Roguelite is a tactical deckbuilder played on a tic-tac-toe grid. You are a process inside someone else's machine: you write X into its memory, the system answers with O. Clear eight sectors before the terminal answers the launch request on its own. Line up three of your marks and the line detonates: the marks burn away and the hostile process takes damage. Damage is the line length squared: three hits for 9, four for 16, five for 25. The board never ends in a draw — it reloads. • 20 cards with upgraded forms, 30 modules, 7 cores • chain reactions: one blast completes the next line • 20 hostile processes and 6 bosses with their own faces • the grid grows: 4×4, 5×5, 6×6 • shop, events, anomalies and firmware between runs • daily challenge and endless mode Play in your browser on desktop or phone, nothing to install.

Game instructions

Pick a card in your hand, then a cell on the board. On desktop use the mouse or keys 1–5; Esc cancels a pick and opens the menu; gamepads work too. On a phone just tap — the game runs in landscape. Get three or more X in a row — horizontal, vertical or diagonal — and the line explodes for damage equal to its length squared. You have a few actions per turn, then the process writes its own O. If its O line up, the discharge hits you. Block its lines: the enemy's next move is highlighted on the board. Beat a process and pick a reward: a module, a card or a repair. Before each sector choose a normal or an elite approach with a richer reward. The first fight is a tutorial on the real board.
