Tic Tactic
You return to find the pond in ruins... Play as a duck who sets off on a path of revenge against the chickens who destroyed his home.
Tic Tactic is a roguelike deckbuilding take on the classic Tic-Tac-Toe. Form combos to deal damage, defeat opponents to collect new tiles, and face stronger enemies as you push ever closer to the chicken stronghold.
Form Strategic Combos!
Deal damage to opponents by forming combos on the tic-tac-toe board! Carefully position your tiles on the board to create matches, unleash attacks, and crush the fowl enemies–but make sure to plan ahead, since the board won’t clear between attacks!
Build Unique Decks!
Build a deck out of over two dozen unique tiles with distinct abilities and effects. Shake up the board with game-changing moves to disrupt enemy strategies and create new opportunities to decimate your opponents!!

I think I've realized that getting through in as few turns as possible is the key. I got this result this time, and once before I did it 146 turns, and my score was even higher. That's the key.
Really cool game! I especially like the shield tile that stays additional turns. It's cleaver to make it so that it can stay even till next round. Also, the way you handled deck thinning is quite interesting since you cannot control which tiles are going (black merchant).
★★★★★
I don't love the music though. Would deserve to be a little more punchy or something idk
I’m working with a composer to get some new music for the next versions of the game! I’m not a great musician myself :/
Sounds exciting for the future! It's a really nice game man congrats, I keep coming back at it
The concept here is really good
any piece that moves is extremely OP, because they move at the end of the enemy turn, it's extremely easy to trick your opponent into making bad moves. It also allows for some unstoppable 3 in a rows.
For example, if first move of the game you place the axe in the bottom row, opponent moves, you place a piece under the axe, opponent moves top row to block your 2 in a row, axe destroys their piece and you get a 3 in a row with a single opponent piece left on the board.
Gostei muito. A única coisa que me incomoda é o estilo de jogo que faz você perder tudo que conseguiu quando perde.
The concept is so good
Pretty pixels
Absolutely phenomenal game concept, I'm a huge sucker for roguelikes and I would totally drop 10 dollars on this to play it for a month! Wishlisted!
great game, small recommendation.
You should be able to set a hotkey, or a well used key by default, to submit your move easier rather than having to click the button.
There's an option in settings to automatically end the turn when you place a tile!
one of my favourite games on itch.io
Fun little concept, could play this game a bunch of times and won't get tired of it. looking forward to the steam released.
i wish it was endless :(
great game though
straight, non homosexual gameplay for red-blooded men.
Can't get the game to launch. Stuck at splash screen.
What browser are you using? I’ve no issues on Chrome and Edge, but I’ve heard that Firefox doesn’t always work
I'm using the itch launcher program
Oh, I don’t know if the game will work through there. I think you need to play in a browser window because it’s a web build
Another bug, this one really OP. if someone uses earthquake, and you place a token right before they all fall, you can just press place and it will just be placed over the other token, so both exist simultanously
Adding on to that, the piece you replaced JUST STAYS. it doesnt count for combos, and you can place tokens over it, but it just stays on the board forever, and cannot be destroyed.
Dont know if its a feature or a bug: If the board is completed with a tile like the Axe, it instantly deletes everything instead of letting the axe take an action.
It’s not a bug, but I suppose I could add that functionality… I’ll test it out!
I've learned a few things about the axe, instead being end of turn, its actually end of enemy turn, so even if it's the last piece played, it won't activate its destroy and move function.
Bug found: If a potion (specifically the extra health one as I havn't tested the other one) is drunk directly before moving on to the next map(not the next tile but the next area), it does not take effect
I enjoyed it too
Really good game!
Bug Report! I encountered a bug where the game crashes:
1. Place a bomb tile at the center.
2. Your rival place a chain-tile (which chains health to adjacent tiles).
3. Use a lightning tile to destroy the chain-tile.
4. The game crashes.
Similar, I've had a few such gliches with other tiles, too. And there seem to be problems is object layers (the cannon tile appears behind the treasure box) as well as camera zoom weirdness (when it zooms in to select an item, if you check your inventory at that time they exceed the bounds of the camera). There's more - but it's a great little game that just needs polishing.
The bomb tile causes a few unexpected issues with per-turn effects (like chain and plague). I’m on it! Thanks for reporting :)
Awesome!
Its looks very cool and its have a good idea.
really love the concept. Looking forward the full version!
Interesting concept! However I think the game tic tac toe is just too shallow, so even these special blocks don't make it that interesting for me.
It's so superising that tictactoe can be so much fun with these various card effects.
Too high a barrier to entry. You have to start with a mastery of tic-tac-toe and then add battle strategy to that. I'm on turn 17 of the second duel and I've yet to hit once. I lucked out to pass the first duel and it only had 3 health. Am I supposed to take hits to succeed or what?
Okay, I tried that and now I understand the mechanics are more tic-tac-toe themed more than tic-tac-toe rules. It's more like "Match 3". No, that's not right either.
It helps to be good at tic-tac-toe, but you can definitely tank some hits for strategic advantage! Even in the scoring algorithm, it’s a trade-off between the number of turns and the amount of damage you take.
The Gift tile is OP. Having 3 gift on the board allows infinite combos. Match -> Clone -> Match
the gift tile is more than op, you can have 1 and still set up an infinite, because once it clones, you get the ability to get the original back, and the infinite goes as follows.
oo_
GG_ <--
oo_
score, then cloning happens
ooG
___ <--
ooG
Then so on and so forth
Super fun game. Hooked me right away. Great work.
Won with 43/48 hp
My deck be like:
heal
3x dmg
plague
max hp potion
heal hp potion
Fantastic game.
THIS GAME IS SO GOOD I CANT STOP PLAYING
1 thing tho: is it a bug or feature that elec tiles cant destroy elec tiles?
Thank you! That’s a feature, otherwise technically the lightning would make them destroy themselves.
Cool game! Very exciting
fun game, I still suck though, the hen fields boss is tough
Fun gameplay, cute graphics, it's amazing! Love it!
11600 - leaderboard not working :(
Unfortunately, this is a known issue. The leaderboard tool I'm using only allows up to 10,000 entries. However, I'll still maintain the top 5 manually!
This is amazing on like all levels. Great graphics, has just enough storyline to give you a purpose in the game. Most creative roguelike I have seen so far.
And I also like how cluckhaven isn't a haven. Quite ironic
Super cool and fun, my advice is to rephrase some tiles like earthquake and add triggers on the start of descriptions, example for earthquake: "When placed: move all tiles down", the triggers can be indicated by a different color or something. Another example for the heart tile (or heal don't remember): "on attack: heal one hp". Otherwise really fun and charming :d
really cool, well made.
my feedback: on my first run i didn't take any damage and didn't experience many special attacks until the first boss who slapped me down hard.
thanks for the feedback! I’ll work on balancing out difficulties a little better
Very fun, and the duck is cool!
it's not bad, but the instructions on the cards are misleading. The earthquake says that all tiles will move. I played it and nothing moved. It would be better if it explicitly says that the tiles fall to the ground and if there is no place for them to go that they don't move
That’s fair! Don’t want to be misleading.
oh this one is so good and addicting! definitely keeping an eye on tic tactic :)
