The gameplay is praised for its simplicity and strategic depth, particularly in the innovative "ultimate tic-tac-toe" mode, which adds layers of complexity and excitement. Players appreciate the variety of game modes and the engaging mechanics, although some note issues with lag and randomness. Overall, the game offers a fresh take on a classic, providing hours of enjoyable and intense gameplay.
- “Fantastic game, many hours of very strategic gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is stellar; the intricacies and mechanics built on one another are just done perfectly. There are two main game modes with different settings: normal tic-tac-toe, which is not the game at its strongest, and the other game mode, ultimate tic-tac-toe, which is amazing. The amount of strategy in this game mode is incredible, with 9 different tic-tac-toe boards arranged in one giant board. Playing this with a friend has led to some of my tensest gaming moments.”

- “This removes all skill from the tic-tac-toe gameplay!?”
