## What is Borrowed Moves?

Borrow a guard's move. Grab the loot. Make your escape.

Borrowed Moves is a pocket-sized chess heist. Read the guards, steal a move and find your route to the exit before the gate shuts. You don't need to know how to play chess: short lessons introduce the pieces and their tricks.

• Four chapters of compact vault puzzles.
• A Daily vault to tackle, plus Survival Daily for a longer challenge.
• Long Heist: work your way through five floors.
• Endless Heist: descend floor after floor and see how far you can go.
• PLAN lets you inspect a move where the mode allows it.
• Pixel art, original music and offline play.
• Optional Game Center leaderboards and 23 achievements.

Finish Chapter One to unlock Long Heist, then complete Long Heist to unlock Endless. Survival Daily opens after that day's regular Daily, with an offered practice path as well.

The game and music are bundled with the app. Daily vaults cover a limited calendar of dates; app updates extend that calendar. Game Center needs an internet connection, and Daily scores must arrive during their UTC date. Rankings are casual and counted tries are per device.

Progress stays on this device. Version 1.0 does not include cloud saves or cross-device progress sync. Removing the app or its storage can erase local progress.

Designed for iPhone and iPad. No login is required to play.
