Quinta is a competently made board-type game which is similar to various Gomoku-like games, most notably Pente as the author themselves points out. The goal is to take turns with your opponent placing markers on the grid, trying to get five in a row of your own color. If you surround two of your opponent's pieces in a row with two of your own color, you'll "capture" your opponent's pieces (removing them from the grid). The game plays fluidly and offers several options to toggle. You can play a two player game, or against the CPU, or watch the CPU battle itself (thrilling!) and also change the CPU difficulty from Novice to Advanced.
