interesting puzzles with a chess theme. difficulty progresses in each of the 7 "realms," but most can be solved for 1 crown without getting creative. Getting 3 crowns usually requires playing a levelmore than once. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to getting started working on the "Surreal" levels

Fun puzzle game based on chess pieces, I have a few more to do to get 100% of the crowns but I have enjoyed it for what it was. Purchased in a humble bundle so I got this along with other games and this was a pleasant surprise in the pack but not my initial reason for buying

Solid and chill puzzle game 👌
Not recommended Jun 26, 2026
ui feels like a mobile game put on steam reverting move after losing the piece is a good feature, except for the fact you have to sit through the entire animation every time lacks substantial challenge overall, only a select few of the last levels are really "puzzles" and they're all predicated on the knight piece. Almost everything before that is simply following the most simple apparent path. if you are going to buy it, do it while it's on sale
