    Description

    Immerse yourself in the unique world of Knight Move, a classic puzzle-platformer game created by Alexey Pajitnov, the renowned creator of Tetris. Released in 1990 for the Famicom Disk System, Knight Move brings together the complexities of chess with the excitement of platform games. The player controls a knight chess piece, navigating it through a dynamic board that constantly changes as the game progresses. With each landing, the board's squares shift from white to light teal, and then to dark teal, ultimately disappearing to form a hole. Successfully maneuver your knight to avoid these holes, collect hearts, and rack up points. The game also offers a simultaneous 2-player versus mode for added competition. Dive into this retro gaming treasure and put your strategic skills to the test.
