I don’t understand the connection with the theme other than the tombstones. I quite liked the sound effects.

AI seems to be self-developed, nice job!\nHow well was the game adapted for WebXR?\nThe game works in VR as well as AR.\nThe VR mode is limited to rotating the cube. There is still a lot of potential here.\nThe AR mode is very well utilized.\nHow is the design of the game?\nThe design fits the setting very well. The many black dots around me communicate very well the theme of death.\nThe objects are in 3D and can be viewed from all sides.\nThe environment in VR still offers a lot of potential\nHow is the game interface (intuitive)?\nIt is clear what to do.\nMoving the cube freely in all axes would improve the interface, by making it easier and faster to access the information I need.\nHow is the game experience, getting started, understanding, fun?\nIt is a puzzle game and a puzzle in itself generates intrinsic motivation.\nThe game is fun and definitely challenges me to have 7 out of 7 wins against the computer in extreme mode.\nNevertheless, the computer always does the same thing and the challenge quickly loses its appeal.\nIn extreme mode, the blocked points could have special abilities, like switching between circle and cross every round or can be selected, but will only hold your character for 3 rounds and then be blocked again.

Also works well in VR.\nA bit miss with the theme, and generally simple (but not bad) visuals and audio. Could use some decorations, but then again, this is just tic tac toe in 3d, it doesn’t really need more.

\nThe AI is pretty good.
\nI liked the graphics, when played on desktop. Shame I couldn’t manually rotate the box grid.
\nI didn’t see the link to the theme I’m afraid.
\nSound was a little janky.
\nWill have to come back and try again in VR/AR when I have more time

I wasn’t able to beat the computer! The controls worked perfectly on the quest and I like how you added buttons to rotate the board. I would keep playing this again. The only weak point was that your game doesn’t fit the theme any more than any random game where you can lose.

The AI is quite clever, too, which is awesome! I loved the Tic Tac ‘Woe’ pun, bringing it back to the Theme, although I’m afraid that’s as far as Theming goes.
\nThere’s not much in terms of music and SFX, and I missed a ‘mute’ button.
\nWebXR-AR support is fantastic, with easy controls to place the 3D content in the world and walk around it. For a full release, I believe it would be necessary to be able to manually rotate, scale, and re-position the content. For Desktop, not being able to rotate and move around is very frustrating, and I sometimes need to wait for the auto-rotation to be able to make my move properly.
\nI found myself coming back to playing this on AR multiple times, which speaks a ton in the feasibility of this project as a fully-featured game.

\n3d tic tac toe are always hard and fun and I really enjoyed the AR aspect of it which I did never experienced before.
\nWell done on both the graphics and AI side of things. It has been really well done to embed in 13k.
\nIt might have been great to add a bit of grain to the flat colors to prevent some of the banding artifacts we can see on desktop.
\nWell done for this great entry !!!
