Tic Tac Mo
SCORE: 74
There are so many different an interesting
ideas for video games out there. I have fleshed out a few ideas for
games myself. But this review is not about me. Instead it is about Tic
Tac Mo. This is a three person Tic Tac Toe. Tic Tac Mo adds additional
rows to increase the complexity. It also opens some new strategies.
Tic Tac Mo is plain in terms of the graphics. We can be the 'X', the
'O', or the 'Y'. Each of these sport a different color. There are
technically only two screens in Tic Tac Mo. The main screen where you
decide if there is one human player, two human players, or three human
players. Then we have the game play field. Once a game is completed we
are given two on screen buttons.
The biggest disappointment for me concerning Tic Tac Mo is the sounds.
This app is as silent as the grave. Some annoying music would have been
better than nothing. Not even a tutorial on how to play, and maybe some
keys to victory. We have to figure out what to do in Tic Tac Mo.
Generally that is pretty easy. But there were opportunities for this app
to shine in this department.
The whole three player aspect to Tic Tac Mo is really interesting. I
would set up a chance to get three in a row in two different ways. Well
both computer players would block me. I had to get really tricky to beat
the computer. Human players could be fooled much easier. But passing
around an iPhone/iPod Touch is not always the coolest thing to do.
Tic Tac Mo keeps track of which player wins the game. As long as the
player continues on for multiple games, they can see who is winning over
all. I had fun playing Tic Tac Mo. It was a fleeting entertainment
though. Tic Tac Mo did not stick with me as an app I will continue
playing for weeks. It has a good selling price, which many independent
developers fail at. So they have that going for them.
