## Description

Completely rebuilt from the ground up. Challenge the AI, play with a friend, and master chess on a sphere.

Chess reimagined on a sphere. Two armies clash on a geodesic world of 132 hexagonal and pentagonal cells — familiar pieces, completely new strategy.

Every piece you know from chess is here — kings, queens, rooks, bishops, knights, and pawns — but the curved surface changes everything. There are no edges, no corners, and no safe back rank. Attacks come from every direction.

PLAY LOCALLY
Challenge the built-in AI, or pass-and-play with a friend on the same device. Pick your color before every game.

LEARN
An interactive 10-step tutorial teaches every piece type hands-on. Tap a piece to see where it can move. An in-game rules reference is always available.

FEATURES
- 132-cell geodesic sphere with translucent surface
- Pinch to zoom, swipe to rotate, two-finger twist
- Animated piece movements with auto-rotating globe
- Cinematic intro sequence
- Sound effects for moves, captures, and check
- Full iPad support
- No ads. No pay-to-win. Just chess on a sphere.
