Ombra is a minimalist, turn-based
#strategygame designed for two players in local multiplayer.
Inspired by the elegance of Go and the tactical thrill of Othello.
The Players take turns placing one piece at a time on a grid. Whenever a player traps an opponent's piece between two of their own—horizontally or vertically—they capture it, flipping it to their color.
The match continues until the board is completely filled. The player with the most pieces of their color at the end is declared the winner.
Ombra is exclusive to indiexpo and offers a clean, elegant experience focused purely on local competition and strategic depth. Just you, your opponent and the quiet tension of the board.

It's not a good idea to develop a game to play only for 2 players locally
The game is very nicely made! I like the design. Simple, purposeful, something like 'functionalism', which I like.
The game plays well. I personally would prefer if the area were larger (11x11, for example) and if you could capture the opponent's stones in an oblique direction.
