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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gomoku at none against Puzzle Games's 3. Gomoku also leads on ads (none vs shown). Puzzle Games's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
