In short

Foldtactix is a pen-and-paper grid game where you mark a square and fold the sheet so the ink lands on your rival's mirrored half, revealing hits. It suits players who like short matches of 8 to 15 minutes, with three spaceships, three AI levels and arcade duels that decide whether a hit destroys a ship. What stands out is that a fully hit ship is not sunk until you win a 45 to 90 second arcade challenge against it.

About

Foldtactix is the pen-and-paper grid game you played in school, but in space.

FOLD THE SHEET TO SHOOT Mark a square on your half of the sheet and fold it: the ink is copied onto the mirrored square of your rival's half and you find out whether you hit. No letters, no numbers: just intuition.

NOTHING IS SETTLED UNTIL THE DUEL When you hit every square of a ship it is not destroyed: an arcade duel in 1970s style opens. Win it and the ship is destroyed. Lose it and the ship escapes through hyperspace, and you lose one of yours.

BUILT FOR SHORT MATCHES • 3 distinct spaceships: Explorer, Frigate and Cruiser. • AI with three levels: Easy, Normal and Hard. It plays fair: it never sees your ships. • Three arcade challenges to choose from when you complete a ship: Invaders (with eraser shields and a mothership that drops bombs), Ink bounce and Meteor shower. Duels last 45 to 90 seconds. • Matches take 8 to 15 minutes.

HAND-DRAWN WITH CARE Notebook paper, blue ink, red marker, lo-fi and chiptune music.

ACCESSIBLE Colour-blind mode, large text, VoiceOver support for menus and announcements, optional vibration, and six languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
