Comments on Checkmate or Die for Android

★★★★★ Through 50 puzzles I've only seen 3 or 4 variations of puzzle. It's painfully repetitive, needs more variety in the puzzle type.
★★★★★ Crashes a couple of seconds after booting the game on my Galaxy S21+. The first boot worked just fine, I could play the game as long as I didn't go back to the menu. The moment I got back to the menu the game crashes and when I try to get back to the game and boot it again, it crashes a couple of seconds after the boot. But overall a good concept (maybe not the jump mechanic, let me concentrate on the checkmate), will give 5 stars once this is fixed.
★★★★★ Ok, its gotten better! The crashes are no-where to be seen however there are some lag spikes ane the timing windows are still tight. Regardless puzzle variety has improved largely!
★★☆☆☆ Good but not great It was good till 3 move mates but once you get to 4 move mates it becomes so difficult and by the time you find the first like 2-3 moves the moment you play the 4th move YOU DIE!!! And even the pieces move so slowly that the moment the animation of the prev move ends, and you play the 4th move you are DEAD. And why does the jump doesn't do anything. And at least manooso itna to Karo ki when you reach to mate in 4 slow down the 🧟‍♂️ a little. Please 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
★★☆☆☆ The pieces are really hard to tell apart, "black" is an orangy red, and "white" is a redish-orange. The piece shapes are awkward also, and you don't get time to really look at them to identify the position before dying (eventually you get a bit used to it) boards and piece customization appears to need to be unlocked by playing, but I want to claw my eyeballs out after playing 4 rounds... good concept though I guess,
