exploit-me

exploit-me! is a turn-based strategy game on a shared 6 × 6 board. Each turn you place three tokens wherever you like, on any cell: none of them belongs to anyone. When you place the third one, boom!, the chain reactions begin.

How to play

• Each token raises a cell by one level: ⚪ 0 → 🔵 1 → 🟢 2 → 🔴 3 → ⚫ 4.
• A cell with 4 or more levels explodes: it loses four and gives one to each neighbour. If the neighbours reach 4, they explode too… and so on, in a chain.
• Every explosion scores a point for whoever played that turn, including all the ones in the chain.
• At the edges, whatever falls off the board is lost.

Set things up without handing your rival a ready-made chain.

Modes

• Points: first to reach 30, 60 or 90 wins.
• Token bag: each player has 30, 60 or 90 tokens. Whoever scores the most once they run out wins.
• Time attack: 3, 5 or 10 minutes (against the AI).

Play your way

• 🤖 Against the AI, with adjustable difficulty from 0 to 100. No account needed.
• 👥 Against a friend on the same phone.
• 🌐 Online in real time, with 60 seconds per turn:

Rankings and ELO

Rated games add or subtract ELO, just like in chess. Compete in three rankings:

• 🏆 Against the AI: who has beaten the AI at the highest level, and how many times.
• 💥 Best chain: the longest chain reaction against an AI of level 50 or higher.
• 🌐 Online: the highest ELO against other players.
