Chess Knights: Shinobi

Chess Knights: Shinobi is the follow-up to Viking Lands, going by the release dates, which are pretty confusing though - we have Knights Retreat in Aug 2020, CK:VL in Aug 2020, and CK:S in Nov 2020. So most probably the games were developed in parallel, but actually, without the dates, I would guess that KR was first, then CK:S, then CK:VL. The games certainly share the base mechanic, with the two Chess Knights games adding some bells and whistles. And while Viking Lands looks the most advanced from mechanics point of view, Shinobi is the definite winner for atmosphere. The Knights are silent assassins in this game, moving through the (not perfect) grid of guards to eliminate targets. More than once, Hitman GO came to my mind, but overall, the game is really solid, with one exception: the bonus levels. Those have a somewhat tacked-on feel, with blurry visuals, near-identical pieces that act differently, and entry / exit bugs. As the bonus levels are somewhat difficult to find anyway, it may be better to focus on the core 50 levels, which are definitely entertaining, if not particularly challenging.

Puzzle based on Horse move in Chess. As there is no tips or how to play tutorial, by playing only you can learn. It's kinda interesting. Totally 4 * 10 levels. Zooming is available but sometimes default view makes difficult to select a box. At the end of level 22, I got a message to be continued. So under level list, I selected 23rd. Again same message. I tried to select level 24 from the level list. But it is disabled.
