What Players Are Saying

"Five in a Row takes me back to simpler times, but adds just the right amount of modern polish. I love how smooth everything feels, from making moves to ending a game. The design is minimal but still very engaging, which keeps me focused on the strategy. I usually play on medium AI when commuting, and it's just challenging enough to make me think without feeling frustrated. I’ve recommended it to three friends already and we all agree — this one’s a gem."

"I'm honestly blown away by how well this game runs. The online multiplayer is quick and surprisingly stable even on slower connections. I've had some great matches with people from other countries, and it really adds to the experience knowing I'm playing someone real. The leaderboard gives me motivation to keep improving. I think a friend-match option would make it even better, but even as it is, it's become my go-to daily game."

"This is one of the few mobile games I play every single day. The interface is clean, and I never feel overwhelmed by menus or popups. The local multiplayer is such a clever feature — I play with my partner in the evenings, and it’s become a little routine for us. It’s simple fun that also gets competitive. We love trying to outsmart each other. I’m looking forward to any new features that get added in future versions."

"As someone who enjoys brain teasers and logic puzzles, this game hits the sweet spot. It forces you to think a few steps ahead but still feels very casual and relaxing. The sounds and animations are subtle but effective, adding a nice layer of polish. It’s perfect for short breaks during work or while waiting in line. I’ve played other versions of this game, but none felt this well-balanced."

FAQ

  • How do I play Five in a Row?

    The rules are simple: take turns with your opponent to place pieces on the board. The first to get five in a straight line — vertically, horizontally, or diagonally — wins. Each move matters, and the game gets more intense the longer it goes on. Planning ahead is crucial, especially on larger boards. The game board updates after each move, with a clear visual layout to track progress. You’ll be surprised how fast the tension builds, especially in tight matches. It’s easy for beginners to start playing, but difficult to truly master. With time, you’ll start noticing patterns, anticipating moves, and developing your own style of play.

  • Can I play the game offline?

    Absolutely. Both the single player mode (against AI) and local multiplayer are fully functional without an internet connection. You can enjoy these modes wherever you are — whether you're on a plane, in the subway, or in a remote area. Your game progress is saved locally, so you can leave a match and come back later. The app is lightweight, so it doesn’t consume much battery or data. Offline play is one of the core pillars of the game’s design. We believe great gameplay should never be gated behind connectivity. That said, the online mode requires internet to match you with other players.

  • Is there an iOS version of the game?

    Not yet, but it’s something we’re actively considering. Right now, Five in a Row is only available for Android devices. The developer is currently focused on improving the Android version with new features and community feedback. Once it’s stable and feature-rich, expansion to iOS is likely. If you’re interested, we encourage you to sign up for updates or express your interest through our contact form. More support means faster development. Stay tuned!

  • What’s the difference between the difficulty levels in AI mode?

    The Easy mode is designed for casual players and beginners who want to get a feel for the game. It’s forgiving and doesn’t use advanced tactics. Medium is more tactical and responds better to your moves, making it ideal for regular play. Hard mode, however, uses complex logic and anticipates patterns several moves ahead. It’s genuinely challenging, even for experienced players. Each level is carefully calibrated to ensure smooth progression. You’ll notice your strategic skills improving as you move up through the difficulties. And the best part? No matter the level, the AI always plays fair.

  • Will there be future updates?

    Yes! We are planning ongoing updates based on player feedback. This includes new visual themes, alternate board styles, private matchmaking, achievements, and stat tracking. There's also interest in expanding to other platforms and possibly even introducing tournament modes. Every update is tested thoroughly to maintain the smooth experience. You can follow development progress on our site or subscribe for announcements. Your suggestions directly shape the game's future — this is a community-driven project at its core.

  • Can I play with my friends online?

    Currently, online matchmaking pairs you with random opponents from around the world. However, the ability to invite and play directly with friends is one of the most requested features. The developer is actively exploring this option for a future update. It would allow players to create private rooms or send direct invites. For now, you can still play locally on the same device using the local multiplayer mode. Many players coordinate online games by starting at the same time and using matchmaking, though it's not guaranteed you'll be matched. Stay tuned to the updates section for announcements. We appreciate your patience as we improve the social features of the game.

  • Does the game support different board sizes?

    At the moment, the game uses a standard board size that balances play speed with strategic depth. This was chosen to ensure fast-paced matches and optimal performance across all devices. However, support for larger or custom board sizes is on the roadmap for future updates. Different board sizes would allow for longer, more complex games and cater to players who enjoy deeper strategy. The developer is currently gathering feedback on how users would like this feature implemented. Keep an eye on our changelog for progress. If you have suggestions about ideal board dimensions, feel free to reach out through the contact section.

  • Are there any ads or in-app purchases?

    The game is completely free to download and play with no required payments. There are no pay-to-win mechanics — everyone plays on a level field. In the current version (1.0.0), the experience is fully ad-free to keep the gameplay smooth and immersive. Future updates may introduce optional cosmetic upgrades or themes, but these will never impact gameplay or performance. If ads are added in the future, they will be minimal and non-intrusive, with an option to disable them via a one-time purchase. The goal is always to keep the core experience enjoyable and distraction-free. Your feedback on this balance is welcome as the app evolves.

  • How can I track my progress or ranking?

    Online ranked matches contribute to your global standing, which you can view in the leaderboard. While there’s no persistent account system yet, your rank is saved locally on your device. We’re exploring ways to implement a secure profile system that allows you to sync progress across devices. This would also open the door for achievements, match history, and detailed player stats. Until then, you can still enjoy steady progress as you win online matches. Each win helps you climb, and competitive players can track their improvement over time. Stay tuned — stat tracking is a priority for future updates.

  • What should I do if I encounter a bug?

    If something doesn’t work as expected, we’d love to hear about it! You can report bugs via the contact form or by emailing us directly. Please include as much detail as possible: what device you're using, the Android version, and a step-by-step of what happened. Screenshots or screen recordings are also very helpful. Bugs are taken seriously and usually prioritized in upcoming patches. We aim to keep the game stable across all supported devices. Thank you for helping improve the experience for everyone.

  • Is the game suitable for kids?

    Yes, Five in a Row is simple to understand and safe for players of all ages. There's no inappropriate content, no microtransactions, and no chat system. Kids can enjoy the game in single player or local multiplayer mode with siblings or parents. It’s also a great way to encourage strategic thinking and pattern recognition. Many families play it together as a casual, screen-sharing experience. While younger players may struggle with the harder AI, the easy mode is perfect for learning and having fun. The clean interface and intuitive controls make it accessible to children without assistance.

  • Does the game support multiple languages?
