## What is Gomoku?

Gomoku — Five in a Row, refined.

A meditative, fully offline take on the timeless five-in-a-row board game. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Just you, the board, and a thinking AI.

CORE FEATURES
• Classic 15×15 board with crisp wood-grain visuals and warm dark theme.
• Six AI difficulty levels — Novice, Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, Master — built on heuristic scoring and minimax search up to depth-3.
• Renju Forbidden Rule (optional, applied to black): double-three, double-four and overline are restricted, faithfully reproducing professional rule sets.
• One-tap Undo to revert your last full round, perfect for learning.
• Beautiful animated stones, last-move highlight, hint toggle.
• Local statistics: total games, wins, losses, draws, real-time win rate, instant reset.
• Haptic feedback and subtle sound effects (both can be disabled).

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• 100% offline. No network requests, ever.
• No accounts, no sign-ups, no ads, no in-app purchases.
• All data stays on your device.
• iPhone-optimized portrait layout, dark mode by design.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Casual players who want a quick, calming match.
• Strategy lovers seeking a sharp opponent.
• Anyone who wants to learn Gomoku from scratch — start at Novice and climb to Master.

Place your stone. Plan five in a row. Outwit the silicon.
