Black Pieces Move First

TOP, NICE GAME

The game introduces a new way of using chess pieces, solving puzzles to help the black pieces win the war against the white pieces. You can move freely across the board, and each piece has an attack that corresponds to its traditional chess movement. I enjoyed the story behind the puzzles, which makes the game fun both for discovering the ending and for solving each level.

Very interesting chess-themed puzzle game with good art and music (and a funny story)! Some puzzles are quite easy, while others are quite challenging. It took me +4 hours to solve all 60 puzzles + the final boss puzzle. Recommended.

🖤 “Revenge is best served in black.” ♟️ Black Pieces Move First is a clever and atmospheric twist on classic chess. You play as a single rebellious black pawn — and that’s all it takes to flip the game on its head. Instead of playing full chess matches, you solve puzzles where every move counts. It’s about positioning, planning, and breaking free from the expected. The game blends logic puzzles, light action, and a story of rebellion in a way that feels both unique and meaningful. ✅ What I loved: • Smart puzzle design with chess-inspired rules • A fresh concept that respects the original while subverting it • Beautifully minimalist visuals with a strong tone • Each level feels like a mini-battle of wits If you’re into puzzle games, chess variants, or just something different, this is a hidden gem worth playing.

[h2]Very fun![/h2] [hr][/hr] - Beautiful and cohesive graphics. - Very fun and easy-to-pick-up gameplay. - And the highlight: the [b]music is soooo good![/b] As for improvements, I’d suggest a quick restart key, since it's often necessary to reset the board, and having to go through the menu every time can get in the way.

The game concept is truly fascinating - a clever blend of puzzle and adventure with chess mechanics. The graphics, music, and puzzles are exceptionally well-crafted, and I'm definitely committed to playing through to the end!
