Very Interesting Game, but a little glitchy

It takes a lot more thinking and planning in this game than chess and I love it. Still getting the hang of it.

I have encountered a few bugs that make it a little annoying. 1) When you exit out of a game, the “online matches” tab on the main menu continually jumps up and down and I have to restart the app to make it stop. 2) The message text box on an online game doesn’t work. I tap on it and it does nothing instead of opening the keyboard.

I also have a couple recommendations for this app. 1) I play Hnefatafl on your other app, and in that one, there’s a “planning mode” where you can move both sides’ pieces to plan ahead, and I think that would be quite helpful in Wehrschach. 2) When you tap on a piece, it shows the squares that it can move to, but the different shade of red on the black tiles compared to the white tiles make it a bit confusing to read. It would be great if the highlight was consistently the same color and that squares that your piece can capture on would be shaded or colored differently, so that you don’t have to count the number of squares away, but instead can just tell by the highlighted color of the square.

I’m glad I discovered Wehrschach through this app. Thanks for making it!

Very interesting but some UI difficulties

As title says, very interesting game concept. It is more complicated than chess, more rules, but I think once you get used to them it should be ok.

My difficulty is with the UI. The pieces are hard to distinguish, the diagonal lines are too strong, and basically it is hard to see where my pieces are and what is going on. Also it would be better to show enemy possible moves similar to my own so I know where they can capture etc.
