A WAY-TOO-COMPLEX INCREMENTAL GAME It looks like chess, it feels like an idle game, but it plays like "How do I even optimize this?". Forget upgrades that give 5% here and 10% there, this new take on incremental games forces you to actually think about the perks you buy and adapt how you play in consequence. YOUR GOAL IS SIMPLE: Buy all 25 squares of the board! WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO …





- Unique and highly strategic mix of incremental and puzzle genres, requiring thoughtful planning and re-optimization with every upgrade.
- Well-balanced gameplay with good pacing that respects player time and provides a satisfying challenge without excessive grinding.
- Clean and intuitive UI with innovative upgrade mechanics that consistently refresh the gameplay experience.
- The mid-to-late game can become overwhelming, especially due to the need to repurchase the starter setup multiple times after prestige resets.
- Some quality-of-life features are missing or could be improved, such as persistent save/load slots, buy max buttons, and the ability to sell board squares or chess pieces.
- Minor bugs with the autoclicker on chess pieces and unclear menu wording when quitting or returning to the main menu.
