It&rsquo;s based on Renju (Gomoku), but instead of placing stones, a <strong>flying saucer (UFO) flies in and occupies the area</strong> — with missions that change at every stage.</p> <p>I eventually pulled it from the store because of maintenance costs, but I still have a soft spot for the apps I made myself, and it felt a shame that it was no longer visible anywhere. So I stripped out all the platform pieces — scoreboards, in-app purchases and the like — and revived just the <strong>pure Gomoku game, its stage-by-stage missions, and the original images and sounds</strong> as a web widget. (I&rsquo;ve written more about why I made the original game and what I took away from it in <a href="https://tedfactory.com/en/apps/archive/take-five/">the TAKE FIVE dev story</a>.)</p>
