User reviews

Good game could use some updates

A like the game but I do wish there was an option to play with the original bugs or maybe even more themes. Random online matches would also be cool.

Scorpio bug

Game is fundamentally unplayable until the bug is fixed where Scorpio disappears when it climbs on top of another bug

Not much to say but can you add one more piece? The Taurus?

The Taurus moves like the Aries - one space at a time - but it also has a special ability that it may use instead of moving. This ability allows the Taurus to move an adjacent unstacked piece (whether friendly or enemy) two spaces: up onto the Taurus itself, then down into an empty space adjacent to itself.

Excellent little game

gameplay is “chess-like”, but quite unique in its own way; takes a little while to learn how each piece moves, and it’s hard play against the computer (even on easy!) but it’s a great game, and well realised for phone screen; easy to use, too; have yet to try over network with another human but good that that feature is there

Love it

I love this game. However if I make it so my opponent has no moves left there’s no way for them to pass their turn. Can you fix this please devs?
