About the Game

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.
