NexloTact

NexloTact is a deep, purely strategic two-player board game where calm calculation meets silent encirclement.

Set on a 7x7 grid, players command two types of distinct pieces: "Fortresses" and "Watchtowers". Each piece asserts a specific zone of control, directly influencing the spaces around it. Your primary goal is to carefully place these pieces, establish a dominating presence on the board, and outmaneuver your opponent through strategic area control.

When an area is completely surrounded by your pieces, you capture the enclosed territory, rewarding players who carefully plan their defensive and offensive lines. The game naturally ends when both players choose to pass their turn consecutively, and the final score is determined by the total number of controlled and encircled tiles.

Features:
- Single Player vs AI: Challenge a sophisticated built-in AI opponent that evaluates moves using an intelligent tree-search approach. Choose from three difficulty levels: easy (evaluating one move ahead), medium (two moves), or hard (three moves). Each turn comes with a strict 30-second time limit to keep the game engaging.
- Local Multiplayer: Sit down with a friend and play a tense match on a single device.
- Puzzle Scenarios: Test your mind against 40 uniquely crafted game states. These scenarios challenge you to find the exact placement sequence to flip the board in your favor within a limited number of turns. Conquer them to unlock further challenges.
- Local Offline Progress: All your statistics, unlocked puzzles, and preferences are saved locally on your device. The entire game is fully playable without an internet connection.
