Rookata

Rookata is a calm daily logic puzzle. Clear a small board down to a single piece — where every move is a capture.

It borrows the way chess pieces move, but needs zero chess knowledge. If you can tap, you can play: tap a piece and its legal moves light up. The catch — every move must capture, and each piece can capture at most twice, so the order you play in is everything. No luck, no hidden information. Every solve is pure deduction, and every miss is one you could have seen coming.

A quiet 30–90 seconds a day. No timers, no clutter, no ads.
