Misleading

The suicide chess variant is good against the computer, but to player 1 on 1 you pay $2.99. When purchased, it doesn’t seem to do anything and this seems to me like on-device PVP not online PVP, which i find very misleading.

Response from developer

Hi SuperSquibbly, I apologise. The 1 on 1 player is indeed on the device. It never occurred to me that this could be misleading and be interpreted as online play. When I update the app in the future, I will keep this in mind and make it more clear that the 1vs1 is on the device itself.

Really fun

This is a great app! My single gripe is that it takes audio priority and the only audio it has is the clicks of chess pieces. I’d love to be able to listen to my music while playing.
