WUZIQI, Gomoku
Beauty is reason enough
Features

A traditional Gomoku board, remade as a modern object.

Everything WUZIQI currently ships, no paywalled core gameplay, no subscription.

Liquid Glass interface

Every material, layer, and hierarchy on the board, the stones, and the menus has been carefully tuned, borrowing from Apple's Liquid Glass language, keeping soft contrast and clear readability in both light and dark modes. The winning row gets a dedicated gold highlight, and the last move is marked with a quiet dot. The visuals and the information structure are equally uncluttered.

Collectible board themes

We offer a set of curated board themes: Classic Light, Classic Dark, Oak, Walnut and more. Plus bamboo and three marbles (white, black, jade) for eight in total. Grid line colour, star point weight and stone contrast are tuned per theme, and each one has its own darkened variant for dark mode. All eight ship with the app.

Three AI difficulty tiers

Normal / Intermediate / Advanced. The AI is a search engine that runs entirely on your iPhone, with no network calls and no model download. It looks several turns ahead to find wins and block threats, and replies in under a second at every tier (roughly 80 to 900 ms depending on difficulty and board size). From "just learned the rules" to "really want to win", one system covers the whole arc.

Local two-player hot seat

Two people at the same table, taking turns on the same screen. No accounts, no friends lists, no matchmaking delay. Made for slow afternoons with family, partners, and friends. Local two-player preserves the original tabletop social quality of Gomoku that online-only apps can't offer.

Stats and achievements

Every game is recorded: how many rounds you played, how many you won, your most frequent openings, streak counts. Game Center achievements are integrated too: first Master AI victory, ten-day streak, first Renju match completed. A complete feedback loop that gives every game meaning.

The rest

No account · Core offline · No push

WUZIQI doesn't require sign-in, and core gameplay runs offline. Ads, iCloud, Game Center, and in-app purchases only go online when the corresponding feature is active, and are handled according to iOS permissions and the privacy policy. On a plane, on the subway, in a low-signal place, you can still finish a full game.

Accessibility-friendly

Supports Dynamic Type, VoiceOver readouts on icon-only buttons, 44pt minimum hit targets, and Reduce Motion. Dark mode follows the system. The board grid is logically ordered, so even low-vision users can operate the whole app via VoiceOver.
