## What is Gomoku?

One move at a time. Gomoku gets easier.

Gomoku Master breaks each pattern into four learning stages — Follow, Understand, Practice, and Challenge — so you meet the same sequence four times in a row and it sticks naturally.

Four-Stage Learning Flow
1. Follow — Tap guide markers to trace each move by hand.
2. Understand — Watch the sequence auto-play while you read why each stone lands where it does.
3. Practice — Reproduce the pattern from memory without hints.
4. Challenge — Face a bot that plays the very pattern you just learned.

Main Features
- Four-Stage Learning Flow: Meet the same pattern four times through Follow, Understand, Practice, and Challenge until it becomes second nature.
- Annotated Pattern Library: Over twenty patterns from beginner to advanced, each move explained so you understand why, not just where.
- Bots with Character: Doldoli, Baduki, and Cheolbyeok — three opponents with distinct difficulty and personality for real matches anytime.
- Progress and Stats: Level, streak, accuracy, and head-to-head records. Complete 80 percent of a tier to unlock the next automatically.
- Premium Board Visuals: A Skia-rendered wooden board with glossy black and white stones and 60fps placement animations — gomoku built to look good on mobile.

Good For
- First-time gomoku learners
- Intermediate players sharpening their pattern sense
- Anyone who wants to practice alone without a local opponent

Core features run fully offline and no account is required. The game is supported by AdMob advertising; an App Tracking Transparency prompt appears on first launch for device identifier use.
