Gomoku, But with Skills

A board of stones. A build of your own.
Gomoku, But with Skills is a single-player roguelite about building combinations that keep the points coming. Each turn, choose from random stones and placement spots, then combine skills and relics to make your board work together. Pay each stage's score requirement within a limited number of turns, visit the shop, and prepare for a tougher target.Turn combinations into points
Grow powerful stones, spread new ones across the board, or build around removing and fading stones. Complete quests, collect chest fragments, and choose relics to shape your run. Different choices lead to different ways of scoring.Three in a row earns a multiplier
Each turn has a scoring color. Matching stones score, and straight lines of three or more earn a line multiplier. Score now or set up a longer line? Changing colors, stones, and placement options keep you weighing the next move.Change the position with a skill
Move stones, change their colors, or place two in one turn. Reroll your options, or consume stones to upgrade another. Points are also your shop currency, so every purchase is a choice between saving for the next stage and strengthening your build.Fading stones leave something behind
Scoring in a line consumes a stone's Ink Life. When it runs out, the stone fades and turns its most recent score into Residual Ink. This accumulates throughout the run and adds points to future turns. Keep a stone scoring, or turn it into lasting income.Twelve stages. Nine difficulty ranks.
Face challenges that change the rules and unlock more stones, skills, and relics. Clear a run, then take on higher ranks with new restrictions on your decisions and combinations.
