Gomoku that tells you why you lost. Most gomoku apps stop at "you lost." Kukmin Omok goes one step further. When a game ends, tap Review. Every move you played is re-searched at full strength to find the exact move that decided the game โ€” then the engine plays out what happened next, one move at a time, and explains each one. "Move 12, K10 โ€” four-three. It forces you to block the four, then grows the open three into an open four." "Move 13, J9 โ€” forced block. There is nowhere else to play." You stop memorising moves and start understanding reasons. REVIEW MODE - Finds the losing move automatically - Step through the continuation one move at a time - Plain-language explanations: four-three, double three, open four, forced defence - Shows what you should have played instead AN OPPONENT THAT FITS YOU - Ten difficulty levels - Auto-adjust: wins move it up, losses move it down, until games are close PROPER GOMOKU - Freestyle and Renju (black's forbidden points detected and marked) - Hints, undo, last-move marker - Board and stone styles WATCH ENGINES PLAY - Pit the two engines (Tactician and Classic) and any levels against each other PROMISES - Free, no ads, no in-app purchases - No account, works fully offline - Collects nothing
