This is a good game. Fun to play. Using the chess idea is good and makes it hard at times. I recommend this. ### 5/5 — Великолепно! *2011-10-18* Никогда не был фанатом Шариков и Шахмат, но эта термоядерная смесь настолько увлекла, что не могу оторваться! Отличная работа, интересный геймплей, качественная графика и шикарный саундтрек. Рекомендую!

I found myself still playing an hour after opening it - something that can't be said for most casual puzzlers. Great stuff. ### 5/5 — Simple but smart *2011-09-18* I've played many similar games, but the addition of chess pieces that move as chess pieces should brings a whole new dimension to this "match four or more" game. It is simple to learn but surprisingly challenging to play. I've had a game going for hours now and I just keep going back to it! Love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hi poop *2014-07-20* Don't buy it is complete crap I want a refund give me my money back it sucked I'm now stating the obviousness in bathrooms! This is for you lonely guys out there, hello burger! I used to be a cow...........don't eat me. If you wondering I'm Just trying to use all 6000 characters and I'm bfpcvedgrgly sorry for you app ratings poo ### 1/5 — Dumb *2014-06-08* It's not chess 😩 **Developer response:** You can think about our game as a single player chess. It's not that dumb, but definitely simpler then real chess. ### 1/5 — realllyyy borriiinnnggg *2012-05-10* ^^^ just really boring ### 2/5 — Genial! Aber nicht mit iOS 5.0.1 *2011-11-17* Ich liebe dieses Spiel! Es macht so viel Spaß und wird nie langweilig!!! 😍 Super Idee, Schach so abzuwandeln!!! Nur mit iOS 5.0.1 startet es nicht! So nicht brauchbar...😒 Sonst gerne 5 Sterne!!!🎉👻 ### 2/5 — Good but freezes all the time *2011-10-25* Love it but game keeps freezing up after just 2-3 turns. be great if this was fixed but until really play the game. If this was fixed, would definitely increase my rating to 5 stars! ### 2/5 — Memory leaks *2011-10-18* Your game seems to have some serious leaks right now. So for now i cant play a full game. Would like to see it work ### 4/5 — Good- but don't understand the whole game. *2011-10-28* ! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect, but for some niggling details... *2011-10-17* There's a couple of minor UI improvements that could be made. For one, it would be nice to have an easy indicator of which direction the pawns will move before you click on them. When you're playing both sides at once, it's easy to forget which is the "red" side and which is the "blue" side of the board. A colorblind mode would be nice, as well. ### 5/5 — Great strategic match game *2023-08-07* I applaud the developer for such a clever mashup of match games and chess. It’s not frustratingly hard, but it’s not mindless either, you do have to think. But it’s relaxing too. I immediately paid the small fee to remove banner ads. I’m happy to support developers who monetize fairly. Finally, a match game that’s not childish! So glad I randomly found this when searching for a new game to play. This one will be staying on my phone. Thank you developer! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind feedback. It's always great when people discover our little game and actually understand the depth of the mechanic. ### 5/5 — Very good game with too few options *2022-10-21* This is a very good game that offers satisfying puzzle solving by loving chess pieces to line up 4 or more pieces in a row. The problem is it seems the developers don’t really want to spend time on this game. There are no options to change the look of the board or colors of pieces. And the most important thing for me is that there is no way to turn off hints. When you have 3 pieces lined up and when there is a way to make a line with a 4th pieces the hint comes up. I want to construct a longer line and this annoying hint is distracting. Maybe the devs are not interested in improving the game because the game isn’t bringing them any profit. I guess I understand. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! Hints are there for new players, and they will be hidden automatically after you connect a few lines. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best match game on the store! *2016-01-02* Please oh please update this game for iOS 9! It won't work anymore and I miss it! **Developer response:** The game is still working fine on iOS9 and iOS10, but we are finally working on the update to support iOS11 and larger devices screens. It should be available soon! ### 5/5 — круто *2013-03-08* начала играть сначала не поняла но как сыйграла второй раз все поняла и теперь зависаю :))))))))))))) ### 5/5 — Schade... *2013-02-17* ... daß es sich jetzt nicht mehr öffnen läßt, es ist ein tolles Spiel! Bitte schnell ändern!! ### 5/5 — Hipsta Chez *2013-01-26* Fascinating game, thanks!! ### 5/5 — Requires thought - addictive *2012-11-28* I love this and find it addictive. It has a really easy concept - 4 in a row but with a twist. The pieces only move like their corresponding chess piece. It takes some thought and planning to get those rows of 4! ### 5/5 — Addictive! *2012-09-20* This game has made me late to work many times! Try the blitz to make you earn more points. ### 5/5 — Hipsta-Chez *2012-08-11* This game is great! I'm not very good, but it's fun to play and try to get better! So much fun ### 5/5 — Hipsta Chez *2012-04-28* Love this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
