COOL
Lovely little puzzle game bit short, but doesn't overstay its welcome. Worked ok on Steam Deck.
nice game
Good game, i've played all of roberts other games for free so figured this was worth it to give back.
This is such a hidden gem for puzzle platformers. You control chess pieces but on a 2D side scrolling platformer style as you solve the puzzles to take out the opposing king. It doesn't move so the trick is really just to find a way to get to the king. It's short and sweet. Some puzzles can be figured out in no time, others will take you a few minutes. There's only 48 levels so it can be beat in about 1.5-2 hours. The only thing that would make this any better is if they had a Steam workshop/level editor that allowed us to play even more levels. It's awesome for what it does. If it looks interesting to you, you will like this.
Simple, fun puzzles
A ver, no sé si de verdad este juego vale lo que cuesta: es básicamente puzles con los movimientos de las piezas del ajedrez, solo que con gravedad. Nada más. Simple, accesible y para toda la familia.
tiny lil puzzle platformer where the gimmick is that a different game has been turned into a puzzle platformer. no tutorial, but the first few levels are very simple so you'll be able to figure out how to play as long as you know what chess is (even if you don't it should make sense soon enough aside from pawns) the way the pieces interact with gravity and walls is as unique as in chess: rooks can leap great distances but can't climb, bishops can reach high places easily but can't traverse tunnels, kings can crawl through tight spaces but can't cross any gap, knights can teleport into places not even queens can reach but get stuck in square rooms, and pawns can only go up until they reach the top of the screen. later levels introduce gimmicks such buttons and doors or locks and keys (including one level where you have to avoid the keys, of course) but the most fun levels for me are where you have just a lot of pieces in a pit and you have to build a tower to get them out. figuring out which pieces should go on the bottom or just how to build the tower at all is quite satisfying. yes, it's very very short but the sheer novelty alone makes it worth playing. it's chess but good.
Good puzzle game but only 2 hours of fun so maybe not worth the price
Um jogo bem bolado de puzzle. Usa as peças do Xadrez e seus movimentos, mas com uma lógica própria, você não precisa ser bom em Xadrez. Gostaria que tivesse mais níveis, são 48, dá para resolver em umas 2 horas. Vale muito a pena num descontinho. Pelo menos a gente esquece, um ano e meio depois resolvi tudo de novo.
