Byte Back

🍬 A simple game of getting out… before you get eaten.

This is a fast, 2-player board game where you’re trying to move your candy pieces to safety while your opponent does everything they can to send them back.

The twist is the robot at the center of the board.
If your piece gets pushed into its mouth, it’s gone—and you’re starting over.

🎮 How it plays

Each turn is straightforward: roll, move, and look for opportunities.

You can move your pieces forward, jump ahead by using your opponent’s position, or knock them back if the timing is right. There’s a constant tension between making progress and disrupting theirs.

It’s simple to learn, but the decisions add up quickly.

🧠 What it feels like

Some games are clean races. This isn’t one of them.

You’ll get close to the top and then get sent all the way back.
You’ll think you’re safe and then realize you left an opening.

It’s competitive, a little unforgiving, and surprisingly funny once you settle into it.
