excellent with some bugs like when I finish a pack it stuck and should move to the next or ask instead. Also solved levels should be visible with a color or mark as completed, I mean should proceed from where I stopped when I close or return back from any page/tab... creative game I really liked. level 21 insists to appear as unsolved! although I completed medium difficulty so far. Achiements needs work

quite fun, but it does not really get more difficult. I felt difficulty stayed more or less the same since the number of steps required to solve the puzzles didnt go beyond five.

There are a couple of problems keeping me from giving 5 stars. The main issue I have is that even the hardest puzzles are quite easy. Another issue I had was that the title animation played every time you went to the main menu (including after changing settings) and could not be skipped which was a bit annoying. It also only displayed the legal moves intermittently and would not always display all of the legal moves (especially with rooks), this could be an issue for newer chess players.

Hard to look at. Fun, but the colors make it where I can't play for long.
