About the Game

Play through 54 levels while strategically placing and directing chess pieces to break open all present treasure chests on a given chess board.

Each level has a unique chess board with holes, walls, and more to navigate around.

Pieces can't be fully controlled, as they will continue in whichever direction you set them off in, so be sure to think before placing and directing them!

Throughout the game pieces will be introduced, starting at pawns, then rooks, bishops, and knights. There can be pieces of both colors too!

Can you master the quirks of the movements and interactions of pieces and tiles?
