About Neon Tic-Tac-Toe
It is the old pen and paper board game, played against the computer or against a friend on the same device.
A line counts across, down or diagonally. You can face an easy or a hard computer opponent, or switch to the local two-player mode and pass the device back and forth.

The two computer settings play very differently. On easy the computer picks safe moves at random, so it leaves you openings. On hard it uses real logic, blocking your lines and taking its own wins as soon as it sees them.
Before a solo match you choose whether to play as X or O. The board lights up in neon colors with glowing effects and smooth animations, which gives this quick arcade version of the classic its look.
