its a good idea but removing a tile just isnt beneficial and the bots rarely do it so its just whoever goes first wins in games agaist bots.

its a little bit different with players but not by that much

finally, the game is way too laggy with big boards where it should be the most fun to play

other than that amazing game, if it had a bit more variety it would definetely be better

It's true, whoever starts first has an advantage, which is why the first player is random, and the bots only try to erase the tiles if you are a little ahead. Anyway, thanks for the feedback! :D

Just to let you know, I decided to lower the difference needed for the AI to try to erase a tile. I also added a warning that in the larger sizes it takes a few seconds to play (I had forgotten). Still, I managed to place 4 AI on the 8x8 grid and it didn't laggy at any point. :)

Tysm for making these changes! game is really way more fun! I just wonder why do the bots seem to target the player tho (you can see on here as an example)

They target the one that is closest to the objective. So if you keep moving, they keeping targeting you. Little tip: You can erase some tiles before them to prevent they blocking your path. ; )

i am pretty sure there is something wrong with the code... gray is 7 steps from his block and noone is stopping him

I discovered the error, it was something I coded wrong. T_T Instead of taking the closest opponent to the objective, I take the FIRST closest one. And the worst part is that it will only be possible to update this after the jam. Sorry about that.
