Minimal Tic Tac Toe

About Minimal Tic Tac Toe

Minimal Tic Tac Toe keeps classic battles relaxing yet smart 🎯✨. Share one screen for pass-and-play 🤝 or face the adaptive bot across Easy, Normal, and Hard tiers 🤖. Animated win dialogs, gentle haptics, and a tidy Material 3 layout keep every round smooth on phones and tablets 📱.

Customize every session with nine color themes 🎨, sound/haptic toggles 🔔, and saved first-move rules ♻️. Offline match stats track wins, draws, and streaks 🏆 so you can watch strategies evolve anywhere—commutes, coffee breaks, or classroom duels 🚆☕️📚.

What you can do
- Pass & play: two people share a single device with large tap targets and a distraction-free board.
- Bot challenge: face the AI in three skill levels and let X or the bot open the match.
- System toggles: quickly enable/disable sound effects, haptics, or the dark theme to fit any environment.
- Theme studio: switch among Classic, Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Purple, Neon, Candy, Midnight, and Sakura palettes with coordinated tiles and highlights.
- Match stats: review total games, X/O wins, draws, win rate, and the longest streak to see how strategies improve over time.
- Lottie moments: victory, defeat, and draw dialogs use lightweight animations to celebrate every result.
- Offline by design: no login, no ads, and no data collection—everything stays on your device via DataStore.
