This game poses little to no challenge. The stages are very boring an non-intuitive. I got this game in a bundle but i still regret doing so. I like the design and i find the low-poly models aesthetically pleasing, but the gameplay is lacking so i can't recommend it.

neat little puzzle game!
Not recommended Feb 26, 2025
I got this game for free and was still barely worth the time invested IMHO. Wouldn't pay for this, puzzles are lackluster and quite easy to go through. As someone not knowledged greatly in chess was still easy to complete. As someone who enjoys being puzzled by puzzle games, I cannot recommend
