A calm, strategic puzzle game that asks you to carefully move chess pieces across a crumbling board while helping the king on his quest.

What players say
Players enjoy the fresh take on chess with puzzles that add holes, walls, and key mechanics. The game starts cute but gets hard fast, and some report bugs with achievements and star counting.
