Far too easy, good concept but they really need to alter the number of moves from the normal 3-5 and make it harder and more convoluted to reach the target. The fact they haven't incorporated two colours to make it more complicated is disappointing. I completed 100 levels in less than an hour.

Great concept, well realised. Should help learn critical thinking & problem solving. Perhaps add in a mode similar to golf where you have a 'par' rating for each puzzle. (I found quite a few where I had a spare move at the end). Then try to complete a round of 9 puzzles in as low as possible, or under par or the like... :) Thanks for the entertainment so far. Also, an option to disable buzz/vibrate would be good. Thanks.

Clever concept for a puzzle game! Using the mechanics from one game everyone understands to build another seems to have paid off here. Couple of things I noticed that could be improved: - Pressing the Medium option while it is already highlighted opens the Large puzzles. - Unlocking one level at a time means you don't need to mark that a level has been completed... until you reach the last level on the page. Each time I reached it I briefly hesitated andquestioned whether I had done it already.

Interesting variation on chess with slick animations. Nice colors and sounds. All 100 levels are pretty easy so you can complete it within 2 hours. There's no score system or achievements, so you don't get a reward for completing a level in fewer than the max moves. Only real problem is that you can't turn off vibrations.

Good game, but there are a few small things that need fixing. First, speed up the menus. It takes far too long to get into the game for me to want to even open the app. Second, the next level button at the end of each level should really take you to the next level and not to level select. Maybe add a second option for level select? Lastly, add a setting to turn of the vibrate functionality. Also, label menu buttons maybe? Cool idea though!

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.

Fun time killer, though a couple things stop it being 5 stars. First is that I personally don't like the sound the pieces make, but I like the background music. There isn't a way to only turn off one or the other though. Secondly, the time between levels is a bit too long. The animation for the tick and the arrow is drawn out and takes you to a menu rather than the next level. Speeding up the animation and putting you into the next level would improve this in my opinion. Otherwise it's great!

Way too easy. Even "Very Hard" doesn't require much thought. The UI is nice and clean though. Happy to support games without ads and junk IAP. Some suggestions: 1) make the "next" arrow button go directly to the next level instead of back to the list each time. 2) add separate options for music and sound effects. 3) add some more difficulty tiers that introduce mechanics like moving pieces (with arrows to indicate their next move) or enemy pieces. The difficulty curve is too flat and short
