This week, I decided to take a break from my main game project and create something simple: a Tic-Tac-Toe and a Sudoku game. Both games are quick to develop, fun to play, and widely popular. I built them in just a few hours and will be releasing them for free—without ads!

But that’s not all—I’ll also be publishing them on the Play Store, so anyone can easily download and play them.


Why Tic-Tac-Toe and Sudoku?

I wanted to make small, polished games that people can enjoy without distractions. Here’s why I picked these two:
Simple, yet engaging – They don’t require complex mechanics but still offer a fun challenge.
Timeless classics – Everyone knows how to play them, so there’s no learning curve.
Quick to develop – Each game only took a few hours to complete, making them perfect for short projects.


Free Games, No Ads

Most mobile versions of these games are overloaded with ads, making them frustrating to play. I decided to release mine completely free with no ads—just a clean, enjoyable experience for players.

These small projects also help me stay motivated. Working on quick games gives me a sense of accomplishment and keeps my creativity flowing for bigger projects.


Try Them Out!

I’ve uploaded the projects on GitHub so anyone can check them out, modify them, or use them as inspiration. Feel free to explore the code:

And soon, they’ll be available on the Play Store so players can download them easily. I’ll share the links once they’re live!

If you're into game development, I highly recommend making small games like these. It’s a great way to practice, experiment, and stay motivated!

💡 Sometimes, simple projects are the best way to keep the creativity going!
