Description
A roguelike deckbuilder played on arcane tic-tac-toe boards. Collect volatile spell components and cursed relics, follow Morgan's story as they ascend the Twisted Tower, and hex your friends in online PvP.
History
Twist-tac-toe started life in early 2025 as a gameplay prototype of Ultimate tic-tac-toe. Encouraged by early feedback from local playtesting meetups, the Two Muffins founders spent the next few months researching and playtesting many different variations of tic-tac-toe. The team expanded mid-2025 when they brought on a 2D artist/animator, and the current design of the magical roguelike deckbuilder soon emerged. Epoch Music and Sub-Zero Sound design joined the crew late-2025, and they are all working towards a demo in late 2026, and a final release in 2027.
Features
- Arcane Deckbuilding: Collect and upgrade spells, components and relics.
- Tactical Grid Play: Plan multiple moves ahead to out-position your opponents.
- Continuous story across replays: Failure is expected in this roguelike. Each new run through the game advances the story a little further.
- Randomized Ascent: Every run through the Twisted Tower reshuffles floors and faculty.
- Immersive Experience: Thousands of frames of hand-drawn 2D images and animations, paired with an original modern score.
