Square Valley vs One Million Checkmates

A charming tile-laying puzzle game. Make the best valley you can out of the tiles and placements you're given. Puzzles with no randomness can become a bit boring over time. And when it is too random, it can feel unfair. Square Valley sits nicely in the middle where you are challenged for each level, but it still feels fair in the end. Satisfying. Every level is comprised of a fixed set of tiles that come together to form a challenge each step of the way. You're continually cycling through your deck of tiles – always a fresh look. You're also limited to only certain spots on the board where you can place the tiles all in order to reach the highest score you can. A windmill wants the surrounding wheat fields, forests have winding rivers through them, and churches stand firm within the city walls packed with houses. Not to worry, you won't get stuck. There's generous room to succeed at every level. Leaderboards are there too, for those who want to keep challenging themselves. Feel free to push forward, or go back to previous levels and beat your old self. When you complete that last turn, you'll find yourself with a unique little village to be proud of. Features: + Pay once – no ads, no in-app purchases, no account required + 150+ tiles · 45 levels · 3 chapters + A new challenge every day, for everyone + Set your own rules to play with tiles drawn at random + Competitive leaderboards + Works offline

One Million Checkmates is exactly what it says on the tin: a million checkmate puzzles, with varying levels of difficulty. There are enough that you will probably never run out. If you finish one puzzle per minute nonstop, you would be busy for the next two years. At that point, please email me and I will release the sequel, 10 million checkmates. This app is 100% functional both online and offline. Whether you're on a plane or on the moon, your training never stops. This app also has adaptive difficulty for recommending the next puzzles for you. The puzzles should feel challenging but not impossible. And hints are always there. These puzzles are drawn from real games, which means some will surprise you. This should help you to understand piece geometries in order to recognize checkmate opportunities whenever they come up, not just to pattern match. Many times a checkmate will have multiple valid lines. Some other puzzle apps artificially limit you to certain lines for simplicity. This app doesn't do that. Any line that is as good as the best line is included. No ads. No in-app purchases. Download once, train forever. Light mode and dark mode supported.
