3D Gomoku takes the classic game of five-in-a-row off the flat board and into space. Place your stones across a glowing three-dimensional lattice and be the first to line up five in any direction — across, up, down, or along any of the thirteen diagonals that only exist in 3D. Depth cueing fog brightens the lines nearest you and dims the ones far away, so the board always reads clearly no matter how you rotate it. Spin the lattice freely to scout threats from every angle. When you want something stranger, switch to Wrapped Surface mode. Here the board is bent around a parametric 3D shape — a sphere, an oval, a pear, a torus, a twisted torus, a lobed torus, or an organic blob. Rows and columns wrap around the surface and some seams even flip, so a line can leave one edge and reappear somewhere you didn't expect. Tap "New Shape" to generate a fresh surface every game. FEATURES • Continuous 3D lattice mode — five in a row through real 3D space, 13 winning directions • Wrapped Surface mode — play Gomoku bent around spheres, tori, and twisting ribbons • Depth-cued rendering — fog and focus highlight the action wherever you look • Free rotation — orbit the board to see every line • Two ways to play — local two-player hot-seat or single-player vs the computer • A thoughtful AI opponent that attacks and defends • Undo your last move (works against the computer too) • Clean, glowing dark interface • Fully offline — no account, no ads, no tracking Simple to learn, deep to master. Whether you want a quick match against a friend on one device or a tense duel with the AI on a twisting torus, 3D Gomoku gives the oldest line-up game a brand new dimension.
