25 Positive User Reviews for Not Chess

Very much like Solo Chess

I beat all 100 levels in maybe 6 minutes max for every 10 levels. I started with Very Hard which was super easy but I really do play chess everyday for the last three years. Some thought is needed though if you play Chess.com’s solo chess or puzzles those are much harder and would recommend that if you want a challenge over this game.

Great, But Short and Easy

Loved this one. Wish there were more levels for sure, but did find the difficulty never ramped up either. Even into the last set of levels many times the board is filled up but I found solutions involving 2-3 less moves than allowed. Sometimes these didn’t even require me changing pieces. Not sure if that was by design (confuse player with lots of pieces on board and more moves that necessary) but I never hit something I felt was a large challenge on my play through. But I overall enjoyed every

Good idea, but the levels could be better

The puzzle idea is great and i think it may help people who has little knowledge regards chess familiarize how each piece moves. However, the difficulty level is not progressing as it states in game, and overall not challenging enough. Like the graphic and music, but imo some background colors are too bright, more contrast between the pieces and the background maybe easier for audience eyes.

Good concept, seems a bit too easy

Nice concept with some fun brain teasers, but a bit too easy overall, even with the hardest difficulty. If you can beat stockfish level 1, you can beat this game easily. In addition, the animations seemed far too slow (it takes 4 seconds for you to restart a puzzle??) and a few of the colors were visually distracting. Overall not bad, just wouldn’t pay money for it

Decent Game!

No ads, plenty of features, and unique game design. My only complaint is the inability to make custom levels.

Fun idea for a game

Although a bit too easy. And why does it take me out to the level select screen after each level?!?! Please just have it move on the the next level after you beat one.

Love it

I can’t get past level 87. I’ll get it eventually (I hope).

Fun, good for chess beginners

Fun game. Levels are pretty simple if you’re a decent chess player and are familiar with piece movements. Good to relax after work. Hopefully devs will make more (tougher) levels in the future.

Nice little puzzle app

I’m not a puzzle junkie but I was still able to solve all 100 levels in less than one day. I did not find that they became appreciatively harder as I progressed. One needs to be aware and of how chess pieces move.

Not really “hard”

As title said, the “very hard” levels are not as hard as some of the levels from lower difficulty.

Great idea. Wish the puzzles were harder.

Most of them, even the supposedly hardest ones, have multiple solutions and can be easily solved with less than the moves allowed. (Imagine a mate-in-5 problem where it takes you a few seconds to find a mate in four.)

Ok

I’m not particularly smart and I didn’t really find even the “very hard” levels challenging at all. Would be a fun challenge for younger kids maybe.

Boring

Too easy, even for the very hard ones

Worth the $2!!

I’m not one to write reviews but this game blew away my expectations so here we are. As a chess newbie this puzzle variant of chess is perfect to start thinking a couple moves ahead. Great idea and great execution!

Fun puzzler!!!😊

I’m really enjoying this soon-off of chess. I hope to see more levels or similarly released games in the future.

Interesting concept

Really like the look of it and it’s a fun chess alternative. The sound effects don’t seem to be workin on it and the background music goes in and out. Would be nice if there was an option to ply actual chess on it as well.

Excellent puzzle game

I really enjoy the way that this game uses chess but isn’t actually chess. The name of the game is honestly perfect. I will say I’m stuck on 98 😢

Top notch puzzle game

I love this game. I am a hobbyist chess player and seeing the rules of chess pieces applied in this way is super creative. I hope to see more puzzles in the future! :D Superb clean visual style on top of it too!

Great concept

Great concept, was excited for it after pre purchasing it. Difficulty seems irrelevant unfortunately, games are very easy and straight forward . Will keep it around to see if updates come with creative and difficult puzzles.

Not Chess is... not for chess players

Puzzles are much too simple for anybody with a modicum of chess practice.

fantastic

whimsical implementation of chess

Will We See an Endless Mode or More Levels?

The game was fun, but I beat it fairly quickly.

Love the game. Wish for level transitions.

Anyone who loves chess must love this game. I wish that after you complete a level it takes you straight to the next level without the level select screen bouncing up and down, it’s a slightly jarring experience and reduces enjoyment.

Super easy

Fun little mindless game but I solved all the puzzles in a day.

Great idea, not executed well

It’s fine, but I was constantly waiting for it to get more difficult. I literally finished the game to make sure I could accurately report that it doesn’t get hard enough to play to the end.
