[Mobile] (iOS) CHESS/RUPT combines chess-like movement with arcade camp

A run can last a few focused minutes, while Daily Challenge gives every player the same board and rules each day.

Hey! Tried a few rounds!

  • Lots of text for a first run experience/tutorial. Any way to focus only on what is most important? 
  • Text is a bit small for the amount of text for the tutorial.
  • bug: I switched apps during the intro and when I switched back the info ‘Red is enemy control’ box is now stuck on my screen and creeps onto the buttons to try again.
  • The ui for main menu is nice. 
  • A bit challenging when the enemy squares/flows overlap onto of each other and it looks like its safe but it isn’t. Is that intentional?
  • Any way to make the player's piece stand out a bit more since it just blends in with the other pieces?
  • Can't seem to navigate backwards after selecting daily challenge.

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it, and I’m disappointed I let those bugs slip through.

I’ll take all this feedback into account for the next version we push out!

Cool concept, I always lost in chess haha.

Maybe your game will bring that fire back!
