Tic Tac Battle turns noughts-and-crosses into a duel: choose an emoji fighter, face a random challenger, and watch two HP bars swing with every move as the board grows from 3×3 to a gomoku-style 9×9.
Tic Tac Battle keeps the five-second rules of tic-tac-toe and wraps them in a fighting-game shell. Before each board you meet a VS screen — your chosen face on the left, a random opponent on the right, and a Fight! button between them. Place your marks as always, but now every move nudges two HP bars, and the fighter closer to losing bleeds toward red.
Win and the board grows. The classic 3×3 gives way to 5×5 with four-in-a-row, then 7×7 and 9×9 played to five — the same family of rules as gomoku — with a computer opponent that gets sharper at every step.
Every board you win unlocks a new face for your roster, saved on your device. You start with a single fighter and earn the rest one win at a time, choosing who steps into the ring before every battle.
How to play Tic Tac Battle
Choose a fighter, then play tic-tac-toe — the HP bars do the trash talk:
- On the VS screen, tap a face to pick your fighter, then hit Fight!.
- Tap any empty cell to place your face — you and the computer alternate.
- Make a straight line to win the board; the HP bars show who is closer to losing.
- Win a board to unlock the next face and the next, bigger grid.
- 3×3 needs three in a row, 5×5 needs four, 7×7 and 9×9 need five.
Tips for Tic Tac Battle
- Watch your HP bar: when it dips into orange, the computer has an open threat you must block now.
- On the big boards a single line gets blocked every time — build two threats at once.
- An open three is a loaded gun: make yours, and never let the computer keep one.
- Play near your own marks; scattered singles do nothing on a 9×9 board.
- Win every board you can — each one adds a new face to your collection.
Who made Tic Tac Battle?
Tic Tac Battle was built by crokocat game studio in 2026 — the schoolyard classic restyled as an emoji fighting game with HP bars, unlockable faces and gomoku-sized boards, tuned for mouse and touch.
