About This Demo

This is no longer the Gomoku (five in a row) you know.

Connect five. Clear the line. Break the board.

A Gomoku Line forms—pieces leave the board, the board reshapes, offense and defense flip. Clear again, rewrite again—without end…

Two actions per Round: you place two; your Rival places one.

Unique pieces chain spawn, remove, and move across the board…

The Gomoklear Demo turns familiar Gomoku into a roguelike run where every move can reshape the board. Reach a set number of Gomoku Lines within the Round Limit. Once a line forms, the involved pieces leave the board. Connecting five is not the end—it is the spark of a chain reaction.

In this Demo:

• Two full Acts of the run rhythm: Matches, Serendipity, the Stall, Famous Matches—stack your Library and run it back

• Asymmetric Rounds: you act twice, your Rival once—always racing the Round Limit

• Powered pieces: spawn on place, pinpoint removal, shove the layout, extra Turns… each with its own trick, chaining across the board

• Serendipity, Manuscripts, and the Stall—build as you play

Coming in the full release:

• 10+ Styles

• 150+ pieces across eight color schemes

• More Manuscripts and Serendipities

• More Rival archetypes and difficulties

• Longer campaign Acts

If you like it, don't forget to wishlist Gomoklear on Steam—the Demo will keep growing.

Connecting five is not the end—it is the starting point of the next breakthrough.
