Start simple with Tic Tac Toe


How to start a new life? Pick up your things, go someplace where no one knows you and start writing a game devlog. This is my first devlog on itch.io.

With so many places, why itch.io?

Itch.io is the most mobile (tablet) friendly gaming website, I know about. That's important for me personally, because I play on both mobile and desktop, and so do others at least based on my website statistics :


Cross-device support is my central game design philosophy, but it does not come without limitations. My games should run smoothly on smartphones and adapt to different screen sizes and input devices. Therefore, I always must simplify what I can... and behold!

My first game is Tic Tac Toe... It sure is a simple game and also good to start with publishing because of minimal device requirements:

  • Any screen size
    • Landscape / portrait
    • Fullscreen or windowed
  • Any input device
    • Touch
    • Mouse + left click
    • D-pad controller + B-button (or use Gopher360)
    • Keyboard with arrow keys + spacebar

I'd appreciate your feedback on this simple start with Tic Tac Toe.

PS Tic Tac Toe may not be the most recent game around, but at the age of fifty-ish, I'm entitled to be a bit old-school; besides, Tic Tac Toe was one of the coolest games of my childhood :)
