Local Multiplayer Is a must so go grab a friend! Or don't :P. I won't stop you.

The spiders and termites have been at war over a small patch of grass for years and they've decided to solve the conflict in the only way reasonable. ULTIMATE TIC TAC TOE! Winner gets to fully infest the legendary small patch of grass.

Warning: BUGS, LIKE LOTS OF BUGS

If you know the rules of ultimate tic tac toe you can play but if ya dont heres how you play:

Termites (Usually Xs) can play anywhere on the board

Spiders (Usually Os) now have to play in the small tic tac toe board on the large board corresponding to the spot the termite when on the small board

Termite then does the same, then spider, and so on and so forth.

If you win a small board it will be covered in your teams bug. If you are ever sent to a won board you are able to play anywhere like on the first turn.

Play continues until either a draw or one team of bugs gets three won boards in a row.

I hope you enjoy this little (pun intended) recreation of Ultimate Tic Tac Toe

I don't have friends :cry: nearby, but still could play it, interesting idea, played a couple matches, not sure but seems that the red bug has a significant advantage compared to the white bug.
Nice entry!

Pretty fun, nice animation. I didn't expected to see a Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe what a surprise. This is a pretty nice adaptation. Congratulation !

I always wanted to be able to play though a game of super tic tac toe. I loved the bugs and how they slowly filled up the whole board while playing. Awesome Entry!

I tried to do best moves for both sides and I actually played myself. It looks like the ultimate tic-tac-toe is a promising game, and I like your buggy implementation! Nice little game.

Pretty nice implementation of a tic-tac-toe, the art is charming, and the music feels pretty appropriate. I'm not too familiar with ultimate tic-tac-toe, but it was a fun match. Nice submission!
