There is something unique about this game. Very minimalistic at the same time I think the game would not be as fun if the puzzles were not designed the way they are. Thanks, very interesting.

Thank you chedoku, I appreciate all the support. A lof of love has gone into making this game. Which one was your favorite puzzle?

I am sorry but Chedodu is subjectively better ;)

Cool idea. I have the feeling this would be even much better without the red squares and with a regular sized board. And that it would feel more logical and interesting to me. Or is it impossible to create challenging puzzles without the red squares?

have you seen this one: https://echochess.com/game.html?game_mode=DAILY&level_type=E...

For me, that links to the current daily. I also get the same puzzle when selecting the daily epic. Using Firefox.

Here are some screenshots:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

(btw for replay button do you mean specifically a button that allows you to Undo a certain move, or did you mean the ability to rewatch a whole game's sequence of moves after it's done?)

Rewatch

This is actually an interesting suggestion. Sometimes, things get so confusing that I wish I could remember how I ended up in that situation! :D

Hey again HN! I'm sami, the creator of echo chess. Humbled to see this game up on HN again. This is a chess variant I first developed as a beta last year and the feedback from the community has been incredibly helpful. Spent the past year iterating on it and honing it into a daily format. So many more improvements to come. Lmk if you have any questions or suggestions. Would love to hear your thoughts. -How to play: Y…

I'd love it on mobile as a native game.

What is the issue with having it as a web app?

I like the music, but consider starting it muted and only downloading 3.6MB of mp3 if someone unmutes. This might be a good idea because it's typical that web games like this usually don't play music or even sounds. It's kind of a context thing? If in a game app, music and sounds are expected... if it's a website, not so much. This would also help reduce the fairly large download that makes the game a bit chonky to l…

I don't agree, most games (even web games) play music. A "normal" website should not play music, I agree. But this is a game.

Plus I for one liked the cute sound effects and didn't even think about the music as something unusual.
