Overall good puzzle game for anyone that knows the basic movements of chess pieces. Very interesting concept. Game runs a bit slow and crashes if you run it for longer than about 10 minutes, but that's plenty of time to complete several levels. I didn't find it very difficult aside from level 98 when I stared at my screen long enough for the 5 minute battery saver mode to kick in. A good short level game you can pop out when you have just a few minutes to play.

It's an ok game but didn't expand/evolve the gameplay enough. Puzzle sets aren't that hard or tight. UI navigation was a little bit annoying where you are redirected back to level selection instead of being immediately on the next puzzle.

I like the game but there needs to be some UI adjustments. Firstly a setting to turn off vibrate Secondly a button go to the next level instead of going back to the main menu after every level.
