A look inside

Gomoku, reborn in neon

Glowing stones, light beams on every win and a board that feels great under your finger.

Three ways to play

One rule. Three moods.

Be the first to connect five stones in a row – horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Then change how the game feels.

Classic

Pure Gomoku on a 15 × 15 board. No clock, no tricks – just you, your opponent and the board.

Think it through

Blitz

Just 10 seconds per move. Run out of time and you lose. Trust your instincts and keep the pressure on.

Beat the clock

Chaos

Random blocked cells reshape the board every game, so no two matches are ever alike.

Expect the unexpected
Choose your opponent

Outsmart a real AI

A brand-new game engine that reads the board many moves ahead – or a friend sitting right next to you.

Easy

Relaxed games that forgive your mistakes.

Medium

Solid defence that spots most of your threats.

Hard

Thinks many moves ahead. Bring your best game.

2 Players

Tactical alerts

The game calls out open threes, fours and double threats – and warns you when it's time to block.

Undo and hints

Take back a move or ask for a hint when you're stuck: three of each per game against the AI, unlimited with Premium. Blitz stays pure – no undos, no hints.

Drag to aim

Touch and drag to aim with a crosshair, release to place. Precise on any screen, from iPhone to iPad.
