Well this was definitely one of the more informative games of the jam.  Which I as not really expecting.  I found out that Gomoku exists, that Go and Gomoku are different and the reason Gomoku is Gomoku.

Ignoring that and talking about the game though it's  an interesting setup that was definitely not what I'm used to, although I haven't really played the game before so I was mostly figuring it out as I went along which is fine.  Just an interesting experience.

Though I will say it's a little vague as to what's going on partially.  I figured it out after a bit but it seems like it's essentially you roll and get a number of moves which I didn't fully notice while ingame (though to be fair, I'm sorta tiered, so I may have just missed it).

This was definitely not the sort of board game I was expecting, or honestly really knew existed.  But definitely an interesting accomplishment for 48 hours.  Getting full pretty decent board game AI together in that time does not sound fun at all.  Even through all that though it came out really well.

Nice game, fun to play even though the AI doesn't pose much of a challenge.
Love the sounds.
A two player mode would be nice, even if it's just local multiplayer.

Wonderful strategy game! I really love the satisfying animation of the stones bouncing off the board when you win/lose.

Very nice and calming! Love the aesthetic!

Loved the aesthetic! It's awesome seeing time tested games taken in a new direction. I wish AI was more challenging but maybe its just because it ignores diagonals. I think being able to roll high numbers can also make each match go too fast, but that might work to its advantage as well if the AI was stronger too xD

Cool little game! I enjoyed my time with it! Felt kind of relaxing to play with the sounds and I love the kind of pixelated style. Great job!

I like the end of each round, the physics kicks in. The game may be too easy or just of my luck, I win the  4 rounds in a row. The import of how many stones you can place in each turn is random in my mind may not bring more strategy compared to the original game. I always win because  I have 4 stones to place and AI can do nothing about it 

Nice Boardgame. Won one game by accident. AI isnt really smart. But i get it. Its hard to get a good AI for games like this. Still, enjoyed playing the game a lot. Good Job!

Cool and very subtle take on the theme, love it! It needs a multiplayer mode now. Really good job!

Thanks for coming to my stream! Here's a recording in case you'd like to refer to it 

Nice and chill; I wish I didn't figure out how to cheat so quickly

ZEN! very wholesome and sweet and relaxing game. I wish there was an actual ingame die I could roll to show my turns, and not just a UI prompt. Love the little birds. Great job on this one!

The game feels nice, has a lot of care put into player feedback. The AI does try to challange the player (at least in the first playthrough). Nicely done on the sound part. If I had to find issues with the game it would be the delay between placing stones and the ai glitching (I am assuming) on subsequent runs.

Very enjoyable version of Gomoku! I managed the beat the AI easily lol

Very satisfying victory animation that jump-scared me the first time around. Lovely presentation.

Simple but strong presentation, pleasant to play!
I really love the jump when you win and the pixel style.

I like the minimalist design and reset animation. The AI is obviously a hard thing to work on, but I think the game would be really satisfying with a little harder AI

Really fun, and really polished great job!

Maybe try out my team's game?

Very cool much wow so amaze BARK.

+1 rep

seriously tho very cool game much polish and chill vibes.  good job

Really fun game! I had never played the board game before and it was easy to pick up and play! Strategy was easy to understand but took some thinking to implement.
