Why neo Othello
Ten levels tuned, not guessed. Down low, the AI plays loose and grabs pieces the way a beginner does — you'll win, and start to see why. Up high, it looks deep and gives nothing away.
The engine runs on its own background thread. Your move hints stay on, scrolling stays smooth, and the board never locks up while the computer plans its next move.
Ahead on the board when your time runs out? You don't lose on the clock — the game is settled by pieces. A lead you've earned is a lead you keep.
No sign-up, no ads, no server keeping tabs on you. Once the page loads, everything runs on your device, and your win record stays in your browser.
The ladder
At the bottom, the AI chases discs and makes a beginner's mistakes — the fastest way to learn is to out-think something you can beat. As you climb, it values the squares that actually win games, looks further ahead, and stops giving anything away. Move up one rung at a time; the difference is never a cliff.
