Hey itch.io folks,

I’m Jim (Jimbotron), solo dev. SantoGO is a calm, strategic puzzle game inspired by classic Go: the computer drops 3–5 white stones per wave, you place 3–5 black stones to surround and capture them. Fog of war adds a twist (upper rows’ liberties don’t count until revealed). Goal: Capture as many white stones as possible. Reach 100% yield on a 9x12 board if you can.

It plays right on your browser on any platform!

Free to play (PWYW model): https://jimbotrongo.itch.io/santogo-free

Just released public version a few days ago. Looking for 20–50 testers (beginners & experts) to help polish it. Feedback welcome on difficulty curve, retention, mobile controls, music, tutorial flow, and overall feel.

Thanks for checking it out! Jim santogo-game@gmail.com
