Attractor by AH
There’s a new watchapp on the Rebble App Store!
Attractor is a two-player abstract strategy game on a 6x6 board. On your turn you either Place a token (on an empty cell, or a cell holding exactly one of your own tokens) or Sow a whole stack – dispersing it one token per cell in a straight line. A stack that reaches height 3 automatically collapses, returns its tokens to reserve, and pushes every neighboring cell outward, which can chain into further collapses.
There are two ways to win: Attractor Eviction – push your opponent’s home piece off the edge of the board (push your own off and you lose instead) – or Generative Connection – build an unbroken chain of your own two-high stacks linking your two home edges. Two draw conditions round it out: 30 moves with no real progress, or both players having no legal move left.
Play two-player pass-the-watch on one device, or play against a built-in AI at Low, Medium, or High difficulty – High looks two moves ahead, weighing its own reply against your best counter. Games save automatically, so you can close the app mid-game and pick up exactly where you left off from the Resume Game menu.
Controls are built around Pebble’s actual button layout (no Left/Right): pick a row, then a column, then Place or Sow and – if sowing – a direction, all with Back to step back one choice at a time.
Attractor is a personal, independently built port of an existing browser/Pico-8 game by the same author.
Go check it out in the App Store!
