Excellent concept, well executed. Difficulty ramps up pretty quickly, but there is the option of grinding for items for the more challenging levels. Could do with screen rotation (the opposite landscape orientation) but otherwise an excellent game that will improve your chess skills as you play. There is however a pretty terrible bug on replaying levels where the pieces seem to be replaced with random pieces with white (the player) starting at the top of the board. After the first move the computer doesn't do anything. This only started happening recently, and as such I can not play previous levels.

Amazing concept and neat execution. Author is highly responsive to suggestions and questions. Loading screens are a bit slow (at the moment of writing this review at least). Excellent bargain for the price. In-app purchases seem standard: you can buy coins that you don't actually need (I'm not sure yet what happens if all lives are lost, though). It's a nice way to provide further support. Perhaps one day in the future an update will bring random/endless modes and multiplayer - looking forward to those possibilities. If You like awesomely designed puzzles with neat graphics, look no further. It's involvingly fun, challenging, and all the good strategy from chess applies with loads of perks. I mean, why hasn't anyone thought of this great idea before?

Decent battles with random attacking pawns. Get them trapped and it's yours every time. For experienced players it is a bit on the easy side. And the forced pay-to-play if you run out of restarts does give a sour taste. (Should change that if players buy the full game) Overall decent for a one through.

The game is fun, interesting, and definitely keeps you watching your enemies pieces like a hawk to make sure they don't steal your pieces. The graphics are kept simple because they must, but they work well for what they are. I like the idea of buying powerups like is there, and i like that you often must come back to get everything. I LOVE that you can start over with the other color, and move second... But there's a downside to this. When the enemy pieces can hit yours on the first turn and you suddenly have one single piece to their six, its ridiculous. And when its one piece to their INFINITELY spawning pieces, such as one rather annoying level on the black side campaign, always spawning rooks, knights, and queens, it gets ridiculous to the point of having to put a pawn in the water to keep from losing, and it doesn't even start you with a pawn. And it expected me to survive normally for thirty rounds? Anyways, my other complaint came after finishing the black campaign and going back to the white. The game glitches out, then when reopened, it put me on the final level, meaning I could only do freeplay, not the story levels with set positions and pieces so I could get better, like i had hoped. Also, infinite spawning levels later in the game devolved to finding a point where me and the computer made the same move and undid it next turn, making an infinite loop of nothing being done to run out the timer. Also, again on infinite spawning levels, taking one of their pieces then immediately getting killed by a piece that spawned that same turn felt like cheating. If I can't put a piece out and move it that turn to capture an enemy, why can the computer do it?.aside from these... Four complaints? I seriously enjoyed the game.

I was considering learning programming to make almost exactly this! I don't need to, it's done now! 😄. Great job, love this game. Thanks.
