A new app for Google Chromecast, Google’s device that plugs into televisions and allows users to stream content from their mobile device, brings the first-ever game to the experimental new platform.

Before you get too excited, the app is really just a digital version of tic- tac-toe for Android and iOS mobile devices. But it does allow for two players to play head-to-head on their own devices, showing some possibilities for future apps. It also proves that app developers are serious about developing for the Chromecast platform.

The app is available now for free from the Google Play and Apple iTunes app stores.
