It's more interesting as a concept than an actual game.

It's a very boring puzzle game based on chess mechanics with many mistakes that tries to sell itself with lewd girls and it just does everything very poorly. I'm sure the puzzles continue to get harder but the game is just awful and you can't even tab in/out from fullscreen easily. I don't need more playtime to hate this, it's just not good from the start.

Surprisingly well written and a bit of a difficult puzzler (hint use graph paper to make your life easier). I also love the art style and the play on Shy Guys from the Mario games. For the price this is a must buy for puzzle fans. The only think that I didn't particularly care for was the music. It sort of fits, but it's pretty bland and a bit grating if you are listening to it long term. Oh and the full screen mechanic kept messing with my computer when I would try and exit it. Overall it's a short and sweet with a story and characters that left me wanting more, which is always a good sign for an up and coming indie developer. Awesome job!

Simple chess based puzzle game with a RPG Maker feel. Awkward opening cinematic but the actual story in the game is not as cheesy.
Recommended May 9, 2019
great game due to it being a very good puzzle game...yes it is unforgiving but the only one that really gave me a hard time was the last one. So yeah, its all good and for the price not bad at all.
