Comments on Chessplode for Android

★★★★★ Achmedsyah Arya · Sep 9, 2024
I love you bring the chess to a puzzle and new systems mechanic goes unique, it's really a fun way for playing chess fun!
★★★★☆ Michel Alexandre Salim · Aug 14, 2019
Quite fun. The AI is a bit weak though and some rules are not implemented (e.g. stalemate on repeated identical positions)
★★★★★ Raksha A · May 27, 2021
This is a very nice game for all chess beginners, and I love how the pieces explode when we kill some piece. I really hope you can make more games like this because it is a really good game with the exploding pieces.
★☆☆☆☆ M “Warthela” A · Sep 30, 2024
Concept is ok. But going first EVERY turn means there is 1 solution, since the computer always gets first strike, and always hits 4+ units
★☆☆☆☆ Gavin Poland · Mar 18, 2023
I hate this game because every time I capture a piece it won't, It will go behind the piece and mine will be captured
★☆☆☆☆ Aayush Gautam · Jul 22, 2024
Doe snot work. Doe snot move forward from username screen. When I close and reopen the app, it again shows the tutorial.
★☆☆☆☆ Daryl Cooke · Sep 11, 2019
Could not until this garbage Chess game fast enough.
★★☆☆☆ Vinh Khai · May 19, 2025
Super annoying when played with ios my android got crash after the ios move

Description by Juanma Altamirano Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Chessplode is modern chess for everyone, it makes chess fun even if you're bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, one simply move... can change all game.

-- THE MODERN RULE --
Chessplode is pretty much like chess with a really BIG twist...
- CAPTURE a piece and everything in the same LINE and COLUMN will EXPLODE...
- But if a KING is in that LINE or COLUMN it will be a really *boring* chess capture (no explosions)

-- THINK DIFF... *DISTINCT* --
This rule is pretty tricky, in regular chess you need to defend your KING, but in Chessplode it can save your pieces.
Remember, you can't capture some pieces because you could get check.
Sometimes you will checkmate capturing a piece that explodes.
And other you will be afraid of having several pieces in the same line or column...(POP!)

-- FRIENDS (Who love chess) REVIEW --
They find Chessplode a great challenge and love how they need to change the old way of thinking even if they are winning... a bad move and they will run out of pieces.

-- FRIENDS (Who *meh* chess) REVIEW --
Chess + Explosions... you got my attention. Some of these friends were casual chess players and others didn't really feel the attraction for chess. Both find Chessplode a really fun game. When they were playing regular chess they were not good, now they are the kings of the hill.

-- FEATURES --
* FREE TO PLAY
* Realtime chess battles multiplayer with people around the world.
* In multiplayer you can send an emoji (to express your feelings) with every move you submit. Instant fun!
* Play Levels created for other players, you can find really madness here, but you can undo your move... everyone can make a mistake.
* Create your own custom Level and submit it to everyone can play it. Challenge the world!
* Try local multiplayer battles with friends in the same device. Head to head!
* Practice playing versus Ziri.
* A lot of different color themes, play day and night with your favourite colors.

Thank you for playing "Chessplode"! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it ;)
