TEWGO - Features and Updates

What TEWGO has today

A 22x22 board and two ways to win: five in a row, or capture five pairs of your opponent's pieces.
Every move attacks and defends at once. Flank two enemy pieces to capture them.
Pinch to zoom and pan the board; tap to place.

Play vs AI on four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert. Expert reads your best reply before it commits, so it sees the traps. (Expert arrives with the 1.0.2 update.)
Pass & Play with a friend on one device.
Play online through Game Center: real-time or turn-based matches.
Match by anything for the fastest game, or match by your theme for identical worlds.

Eight themed worlds: Space, Feudal Japan, Dungeon, Ocean, Undead, Western, Desert, Classic.
You see the whole game in your own theme, board, pieces, and music, even against an opponent playing in a different world.
Pick any piece from a theme's roster for each side, plus one of 12 color combos including the dark Midnight and Forest pairs.
Four piece types (Flat, Chip, Half, Tall) and two finishes (Standard, 3D).
12 or more background scenes per theme, four neutral backdrops, and board surfaces you can layer over any background: 7 universal materials plus 4 themed boards per world.
Five audio tracks per theme, from menu music to capture effects.

Everything unlocks by playing, never by paying to win. Two themes are free; the rest unlock as you play.
The rare Gold finish is earned with wins in each theme.
Victory share card after a win, and a trophy room in your profile.
An optional one-time Unlock All purchase ($4.99) for people who want everything now. It never changes gameplay.

playtewgo.com/play: free, no account, works great on Android phones.
Same rules engine as the iOS app, ported test for test.
Play vs AI or two players on one screen. All eight themed worlds with the full set of scenes, boards, pieces, and audio.
Same unlock ladder as iOS: Space and Feudal Japan are free, and the other six open as you finish games. Finishing counts whether you win or lose.
Your own profile: name yourself, your figure becomes your avatar, and your collection is counted for you across worlds, figures, backgrounds, and soundtracks.
Captured pairs appear above the board as the actual pieces you took, not a score.
Your game auto-saves in the browser, and you can install it like an app.
Win-based progression: your vs AI record is kept on your device, and 10 wins in a theme unlock its rare Gold colors, same rule as iOS.
In development: an optional one-time Unlock All Worlds purchase ($4.99), the same price and the same cosmetic-only promise as the iOS one. Not on sale yet.

A brand new app icon.
3D piece finish: pick Standard or 3D in the piece picker and watch your stones sit on the board.
Midnight and Forest dark color schemes for late-night games.

A new Expert AI difficulty: it reads your best answer before committing, so it spots the traps and refuses the bait.
Show off your style online: opponents see the piece and finish you picked, your pieces in gold when you share a theme, and a sparkle by your name everywhere else.
