Become the piece you step on. Tap to move as a rook, step onto a knight tile, and now you move like a knight. Slide, hop, and morph your way to the exit across 100 hand-tuned chess puzzles. HOW IT PLAYS - Tap any highlighted square to move as your current piece. - Step onto a piece-tile to morph into that piece. - Reach the glowing exit in as few moves as you can. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - 100 deterministic puzzles, every one verified solvable โ€” you can always win. - Five rising tiers, from gentle 4x4 warm-ups to roomy 8x8 boards with gaps. - Stuck? A hint shows the next move and undo takes a step back โ€” no restarts. - A warm, modern look: real chess pieces on a wooden board, calm teal table. EASY TO PICK UP, HARD TO PERFECT - Plays in portrait, one-handed, online or off. - Three-star ranks reward the tightest solution. - Quick to start, satisfying to master. A relaxing logic puzzle in the spirit of classic chess problems โ€” but every piece you become is one you stepped on. The board teaches you, one clear move at a time.
