How to play

Small rules. Plenty to master.

Gomoku rewards planning two moves ahead without burying the player in rules. Face a friendly computer rival and learn from every visible consequence. The scoring system rewards deliberate streaks rather than frantic random input. Questly keeps the familiar rules intact while adding accessible controls, three friendly difficulty settings where an opponent is needed, personal bests, and a crisp original visual treatment. A typical session lasts three to eight minutes, works comfortably with touch or keyboard, and saves progress without requiring an account.
