Classic Game- Tic-Tac-Toe: Now Sans Pen N Paper

Remember those long hours you whisked away engrossed in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe with your best buddy? The game as such may sound silly but has very high entertainment quotient. Even to this day we can’t help but pull out a paper and start playing this classic game whenever we are stuck in a boring lecture or a sleep inducing seminar. We were so delighted when we saw this classic pencil-and-paper game on the ovi store that we didn’t waste any time and straightaway downloaded the application.

Tic-Tac-Toe Touch is another masterpiece from Offscreen Technologies of whom we have been covering an awful lot in the recent times. While we were not very much impressed by their Labyrinth Lite, we can say that the developers are back on track with their latest game-Tic Tac Toe Touch.

The developers have added a small twist to the game, making it more exciting for the Tic-Tac-Toe fans. Instead of just three noughts or crosses in the row, gamers are now required to have four of each in a row to win. Simple right? We had awesome fun with this new rule and are sure that our readers will enjoy as much as we did.

Tic-Tac-Toe Touch sports the now familiar user interface of Offscreen Technologies, with two extra buttons thrown-in to the top half of the screen. The two extra buttons offer the users to chose between either single player or double player game. In single player mode, the gamer will challenge the mighty brains of the 5800 CPU but the developers have been kind enough to use an algorithm that lets us humans win at times.

What we like?

1. Intuitive and easy-to-use interface
2. Fast algorithm

What we hate?

1. The blocks may be too tiny to those with big hands but a stylus should solve the problem

Verdict

Offscreen Technologies are back on track with yet another winner with their Tic-Tac-Toe Touch. Not only have they ported a classic paper and pencil game to the touch screen format but have also tweaked the rules to ensure hours of engrossing game play. This game will not only impress Tic-Tac-Toe fans but will also drive some new gamers to this addictive game. We are very much impressed by this game and highly recommend this game to our readers.

The game can be downloaded for free from the ovi store (login required).
