About
A humble black pawn decided to challenge the first rule of chess. The white pieces were not happy about this at all. The result? War.
Control the black pawn across various chessboards, following the rules of movement, defense, and attack from classical chess but with a twist: the black pawn has the movement capabilities of a king and can push black pieces, commanding them to attack on your orders.
The pawn is not alone!
The puzzles will require logical thinking, agility, and creativity to find solutions and achieve the objective of each level (there are 60 levels with progressively increasing difficulty).
There is also a story mode with a world map, collectibles, and an item shop, where you can gather money to purchase upgrades as you progress through the game.
Innovative chess-based game with a captivating story of rebellion.

게임의 아이디어는 좋은데 재미는 없다
Joguei pouco, mas parece agradável. É diferente e a arte bonitinha.
🖤 “Revenge is best served in black.” ♟️ Black Pieces Move First is a clever and atmospheric twist on classic chess. You play as a single rebellious black pawn — and that’s all it takes to flip the game on its head. Instead of playing full chess matches, you solve puzzles where every move counts. It’s about positioning, planning, and breaking free from the expected. The game blends logic puzzles, light action, and a story of rebellion in a way that feels both unique and meaningful. ✅ What I loved: • Smart puzzle design with chess-inspired rules • A fresh concept that respects the original while subverting it • Beautifully minimalist visuals with a strong tone • Each level feels like a mini-battle of wits If you’re into puzzle games, chess variants, or just something different, this is a hidden gem worth playing.
好玩捏,下了demo版,但是只能玩个别关卡,正式版会微调一些难度。 游戏非常的有创意,虽然看起来很简陋,但是能看出巧思的,而且到后段关卡,不同种类的棋交互会更有意思,马保兵,兵挡车,非常好玩。 已经推荐给男盆友完啦,哈哈哈,尊都吼吼玩,大家都来玩呀
체스란 장르에 퍼즐 요소를 잘 끼워넣은 게임 기본적인 체스 룰대로 공격 범위가 설계되어 있지만 기물마다 정해진 공격 시간이 존재하기 때문에 공격 타이밍을 잘 맞춰야 하는 게임이며 공격 범위 + 공격 타이밍을 계산해서 스테이지를 클리어해야 하기 때문에 생각보다 난이도가 있음 그런 난이도를 해결해주기 위해서 상점 시스템에서 적들의 공격 범위를 보여주는 아이템을 팔아 게임을 너무 어렵게 느껴지지 않도록 해주는 개발자의 설계가 참 좋은데 그래도 공격 타이밍을 따로 생각해야 한다는 게 쉬운 거 같으면서도 어려움 -> 해보면 암 뇌 비우고 하려고 했는데 뇌 쓰게 되는 잘 만든 게임
