About game
A chess puzzle with one rule you will not find anywhere else.
Paper pieces stand on the board. You are one of them. Every move must be a capture, and taking a piece turns you into it: take a knight and you move as a knight from then on.
There are always exactly as many moves as there are pieces. You cannot get the count wrong — only the order. So "where to go" and "what to become" are the same decision here, and there is no way to separate them.
No chess knowledge needed: legal squares are highlighted, and later the highlight fades — but stall a moment and the board shows the moves itself.
Every board has exactly one solution, checked by exhaustive search before it reaches you.
60 levels of growing difficulty, endless boards after that. Plus a daily puzzle: the same board for everyone, with a day streak.
Undo is free, and "to the fork" jumps straight back to your last real choice.
Pieces and paper: Poly Haven and ambientCG (CC0). Music: CC0. Font: Comfortaa (SIL OFL).
How to play
Tap a highlighted square to take the piece standing there, or drag your piece onto it.
Taking it turns you into that piece, and from then on you move as it does. Rook, bishop and queen cannot reach past other pieces or walls; the knight jumps over them; the king moves one square.
The goal is to clear every piece off the board. There are exactly as many moves as pieces, so only the order matters.
The strip below the board shows everything you have been so far.
Stuck? "Undo" takes one move back, "To the fork" jumps straight to the last point where you had a choice, "Restart" rebuilds the board. All of it is free and unlimited.
