A playful, strategy-driven twist on chess where a single pawn's rebellion escalates into a brief, whimsical war.

What players say
Players enjoy a clever chess-themed puzzle game where you guide black pieces against white, with attacks matching traditional chess movement. The 60 puzzles plus a final boss take about 4-5 hours, with a well-paced difficulty curve that ramps up. Some wish for a quick restart key during harder levels.
