GomoCrush

What happens when you throw punches, black holes, and meteors into Gomoku? GomoCrush is an unpredictable competitive digital board game based on the classic game of Gomoku. Getting five stones in a row isn't the only way to win. You can also attack your opponents and defeat them. Hidden across the board are Good Effects, Bad Effects, and Chaos Effects. When you place a stone on one of them, its effect is activated. Heal yourself. Gain an extra turn. Destroy stones. Boost your stats... But you might also take damage, have your newly placed stone destroyed, or even suddenly die. And then there are the Chaos Effects that can completely turn the game upside down: - Black Hole Incoming — Summons a black hole that destroys nearby stones. - Desc Slam Crush — Wipes out stones in an area and deals damage based on the number of your own stones destroyed. - Meteor! — Drops a meteor at a random location, destroying stones and temporarily blocking the area. - Torus GO — Turns the board into a torus, connecting the top edge to the bottom and the left edge to the right. - Status Swap — Swaps all of your stats with those of another player. With a board full of unknown effects, you have to decide: Go for the winning chain? Attack your opponents? Or take the risk and trigger an unknown effect? You never know what will happen until the very end. Use Items On your turn, you can use Items in addition to placing a stone. There are 8 different Items, including Fist of Fury, which attacks everyone else, Void Talisman, which removes an effect from the board, and Black & White Dice, which grants you a random status effect. Combine Effects and Items to create opportunities and turn the game in your favor. Battle with 2–4 Players GomoCrush supports matches with up to four players. Enjoy a tense one-on-one battle, or embrace the chaos of a four-player match. You can win by achieving the required number of stones in a chain, or by defeating all other players. You don't even have to complete your winning chain if you can take down your rivals first.
