Five in a row is just the beginning
Who says your stones have to form a straight line? Take turns building target shapes with stones of one color in Shape Gomoku. Prefer a familiar start? Classic mode lets you win with at least five in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally, with no forbidden moves.
18 shapes. Choose your pace.
Choose from 2 three-stone, 4 four-stone and 12 five-stone shapes. Pick a stone-count group or mix groups. Solo and same-screen games offer 1–6 goals, limited by group size, five board sizes, and fixed or rotated/reflected shapes. Secret needs at least six candidates, so choose five-stone or mixed groups.
Four modes, four ways to read the board
Classic: connect at least five stones in a row.
Standard: shared goals; complete any one first to win.
Race: complete more distinct shapes within five minutes. Equal scores draw.
Secret Goals: separate private goals; complete one of yours to win. Review the replay afterwards.
Practice, then challenge a friend
Easy AI focuses on its own shapes and defends loosely. Hard AI actively blocks, spots forks and searches replies. Share one computer, or play online using a room code and password or Steam friend invitations. Both online players need the game and an internet connection. Each turn lasts 90 seconds; timeout places a random stone. Leaving or a sustained disconnect ends the match.
Learn through the tutorial and 23 puzzles, with optional text hints or visual markers. Eligible matches and progression goals earn in-game points for avatars, board backgrounds, stones and music. Check the points for your settings before you start.
