I don't rate many things ,

Does not work

Update: fantastic game, some of the animations could be sped up. The key graphic for instance when you get one.

Some of the items which could be fixed are things like the i information blocks disappearing when you’ve restarted the same level 6 times in a row, and little things like that. Overall though great game. My original review is as follows:

When I launch this app it tries to sell some subscription but it has an odd white error box taking up half the screen. Then when I close out of the subscription area and try to look at the game it complains about my internet connection. Meanwhile I’m posting this from my internet connection. :) I’m happy to change the rating if this gets resolved.

Developer Response ,

Hi!

Please try again, we had some short maintenance on the server, but it's now done. We hope you enjoy the game.

Another gem by the Play Magnus team!!

Simply brilliant. If you’re intimidated by knights this app gives you an extraordinary opportunity to become a knight maestro :) The game does get more difficult as you get further and further, but throughout the starting location you will be assisted, serving as a nice practice location. Give it a try!! Just a slight warning, this app is rather addicting 😅😅

Lifetime game pass doesn’t work

I paid for lifetime gamepass which advertises that if purchased you can continue playing when you don’t have any hearts and skip the annoying wait, but that doesn’t seem to work. It keeps promoting you to buy it again as if you e never bought it and if you click restore purchases it just locks the game with a spinning wheel.

I’m intrigued by the game as I could be a lot better with knight movement and board vision and this a gamified way of learning these concepts but this gamepass thing really puts me off.
