Chess Ace is a puzzle game involving chess pieces. Its concept of replacing a pawn with different pieces for different movement is interesting, but short-lived. Puzzles have one solution, leaving no room for variation or experimentation. I believe the experience would improve if I can make and share puzzles or if there were multiple solutions and a star rating to reward minimal movement. I'll note there's a time limit mode, but it's also short-lived. To me, its high point is its minimalism. 2/5.

I like the game very much, however some of the moves are not accurate. When brought up as a hint the pawn showed one move for me and the hint moved two. The concept is brilliant for learning chess moves and a real thinker. Keep working on it. Ill check back with it in a few months to play. Button play also can be hacked. Graphics are simple but fine for the quick play. Edited

Great idea but it feels a bit spoon-fed considering the cards/pieces for the solution are defined. Might be harder if there were dummy cards included or if a point system was used instead. i.e. All move-types are available, pawn-moves cost one point, moves as as a king: 3, knight: 3, bishop: 4, rook:5, queen: 6 (testing needed to get the ideal values) Solve using as few points as possible; optimal solution earns you 3 stars. Also, slightly too many ads. Edited

Hi Mike, Thank you very much for the feedback. The rules sound interesting and the dummy cards would definitely increase the difficulty.

I like the concept. But this game is for chess beginners/kids. I'm sure it can teach beginners to use different combinations to meet their goals. I personally played till lvl 35 and i can confidently say that the game has potential. It can be improved for tough game play too. Maybe the developers can add in an 'Expert' mode for experienced chess players with 8x8 board, and more than 5 move combination. Game deserves a 4 star, easy. But im gonna give it a 3 bacause of too many advertisements.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and ideas! I think you should try the ranked play as it offers more and more challenging time trials with leaderboard.

insultingly easy, ads get annoying. i played 40 levels and 30 were almost the same level, but it is an interesting concept with potential so i hope to find thoughtful development down the road. maybe more than 3 move answers?

Hi Kevin! Thank you for sharing your feedback. At higher levels there are usually more thank 3 cards and I think you should definitely try out the ranked play with time constraint if the standard levels are too easy :)
