Think like a knight. Knightly is a brain puzzle game built around the chess knight. Every puzzle uses the same L-shaped move, but each mode puts a different spin on it. No chess experience needed; just learn one move and start solving. Works offline. No wifi needed. No ads. No subscriptions. GAME MODES Tour Visit every square on the board without going back to one you've already been on. Boards start small and get big. A relaxing logic puzzle when it's easy, a serious brain teaser when it's not. Pathfinder Get your knight to a specific spot on the board. The path matters; fewer moves means more stars. Simple to learn, tricky to master. Gridlock You have several knights, each with a matching spot. Get them all where they need to go. Think strategy, think patience. EVERYDAY PUZZLES 900+ levels across all three modes. Pick it up for a few minutes or settle in for a longer session. A casual game that still makes you think. TRY IT FREE The first 50 levels are free. If you want the rest, one purchase unlocks everything. No ads. No subscriptions. No data collected.
