Five in a Row that looks so good, you'll play it just for the visuals. ChalkFive is classic Five in a Row with a visual style you won't forget. Pick one of five distinct themes and every game feels different. FIVE VISUAL THEMES - Blackboard – chalk on a dark board. Nostalgic, calm, perfect. - Wood – symbols carved into timber. Warm and natural. - Stone – chiselled into rock. Hard and determined. - Paper – pen on a blank sheet. Clean and simple. - Neon – glowing lines in the dark. For those who play day and night. A SHARP AI OPPONENT Three difficulty levels. On hard, the AI means business — don't underestimate it. TWO PLAYERS Play with someone on the same device. Perfect for travel. BOARD SIZE 3×3 / 5×5 / 7×7 / 9×9 — and on tablet an extra 15×15 for epic battles. NO ADS. NO INTERNET. Fully offline. No distractions. Just the game.

You've crash-landed on a deserted planet. Your rocket broke apart on impact, scattering its parts across hills, chasms and deep underground. The only way home is to find every last one and rebuild the rocket. BUILD YOUR OWN MACHINE Snap wheels, frames, motors, springs, suction cups, propellers and cargo boxes together on a grid to build a vehicle that's entirely your own. Shape and setup decide everything: whether it climbs the hill, clears the chasm or flips over on the first bend. The physics are real, so you can try out every idea on the spot. EXPLORE THE PLANET The world is one big, seamless place. You decide where to go: across the surface, up into the sky or down into cramped caves that call for a completely different machine. Along the way you'll discover abandoned bases and push on from there. HAUL YOUR CARGO HOME Every part you find exists only once, and nothing makes its own way back. Whatever you find, you have to load up and bring home. Hauling the big rocket parts is a fresh puzzle every time. UNCOVER WHAT HAPPENED Ship's logs lie next to the parts. Bit by bit, they reveal what went wrong on the flight and who built the abandoned bases on the planet. • 2D physics building and driving • open world with caves and hidden places • a story told through ship's logs • achievements and a progress tree • battles with old guard robots • landscape play with touch or keyboard • fully playable in English
