Knight Move

Knight Move is a puzzle-strategy game created by Alexey Pajitnov, famed creator of Tetris. Players guide a chess knight across a board using its distinctive L-shaped movement to collect hearts.

The knight can land on the same square up to three times, after which the square disappears. These gaps end the game if landed on, but collecting a heart repairs them and awards points for each repaired hole before the heart moves elsewhere. The knight automatically continues moving toward the indicated destination, accelerating as play progresses.

Type B Mode

Type B increases the challenge by requiring multiple hearts to be collected before gaps are repaired. Each heart also has a move-based timer, disappearing and reappearing in a new location when its limit is reached.
