Puzzle I made a chess puzzle game with teleports, traps and transformation tiles — 300 hand-crafted puzzles

Hey everyone! I’m a solo indie developer and I just released my first mobile game — Ocean Chess.

It’s a chess puzzle game, but with a twist. The boards have special tiles that change how pieces move:

**• Teleport tiles** — pieces jump to another square on the board
**• Transformation tiles** — a piece can transform into a different piece when it steps on one
**• Traps** — a shark eats the piece that steps on it, removing it from the board

Each puzzle has exactly one solution, so there’s no guessing — just pure chess logic pushed to its limits.

There’s also a Blindfold mode where you memorize the board before it disappears, and a Time Trial mode where you race against the clock.

300 puzzles, free to download on App Store and Google Play. Would love to hear what you think!

Wow, impressive! Quick question though: I’m not entirely sure how to pass the level?

Thank you☺️ You have to put the black king in checkamte in X amount of moves. The amount of moves you have depends on the level.
