## What is Paws & Pawns?

Rabbits hop like knights. Foxes slide like bishops. Hedgehogs roll like rooks.
Every animal on the island moves like a chess piece, and every one of them wants to get home.

Pocket Isles is a cozy chess puzzle game set on tiny toy islands. Plan a few moves ahead, watch each animal click into its home, and enjoy the waves, the gulls and the soft music while you think. You don't need to know chess: each new animal shows you exactly how it moves.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 72 hand-made logic puzzles across 6 island worlds: Meadow, Harbour, Orchard, Fjord, Lagoon and Canal
• 7 animals, each with its own chess-style move: rabbit, fox, hedgehog, cat, owl, frog and duckling
• New twists as you travel: slippery ice, frogs that leap, ducklings that only waddle forward
• Beat each island's par to earn up to 3 stars
• Undo a move or restart an island whenever you like
• Stuck? Tap for a hint that shows the next move
• Morning, afternoon and evening light on every island
• Game Center leaderboards
• Relaxing music and gentle sound, with separate on/off switches
• Plays offline, so it works on a plane, a train or anywhere without Wi-Fi
• iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape

NO ADS. EVER.
No banners, no videos and no pop-ups between islands. Pocket Isles is a calm puzzle game made to be enjoyed.
