Knight's tour - game variation on a classic puzzle

Hello everyone!

I am new here but I want introduce to you my game chess puzzle for android devices.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fynteam.knight

Don't judge me too harshly, but I'am interested in your opinion.

Some screenshots:

Are the squares with little spikes harmful? Do the enemy pieces move after you move, or are they stationary unless you enter the lines they attack? Are these squares breaking if you land on them a certain number of times?  A video clip would go a long way towards giving people an opinion if it looks good or not.  The graphics seem polished.  I'll try it out since it is free.

Thanks for your reply.

The game is free.

The goal of the game is collect all the coins from the field.

1. The knight loses coins if steps on little spikes. One spike - one coin. The knight loses hearts if steps on big spikes. One spike - one heart.

2. Enemy pieces stationary unless you enter the lines they attack.

3. Green cell breaks if you step on it twice. Stone cell doesn't break.

The game has 100 levels and 45 bonus levels.

This game is, for the most part well produced, and it is challenging! Here is a more in depth review.

• The spikes are quite unforgiving as sometimes it is forced to use the same squares more than once and you might lose 5-6 coins to spikes.. it makes it hard to get a very high score on any level after the tutorial (unless you use powerups, which presumably cost money after a while).
• I worry a little bit about the difficulty curve as I am an adult expert and the target audience is obviously children.  I would lower the amount of coins lost by re-using a square, maybe to 2 in the beginning and gradually introduce spikey-er blocks.  The last few levels in the tutorial I was not able to get 3-star ratings on, after I had mastered the game's mechanics, and that seems like a problem.
• Sometimes I am trying to select a square and I end up scrolling the entire level instead.  This could be a useful feature for very big levels but I wish there were a way to explicitly turn the scrolling on because it's quite distracting when unexpected.  I am playing on a Samsung Galaxy S3, maybe the oldest phone this game will possibly run on but it does run well.
• I'm curious about the decision to make the spikes that take your hearts away almost visually identical to the smaller ones that only take away coins.  The distinction is important enough that I'd consider using another color maybe?  Or make it something obviously different like a beartrap.  Once I died because I forgot that single spike blocks don't just take away 1 coin; they will kill you.
• The full screen ads with audio are obnoxious but that's just mobile gaming these days.
• There's a fun sound and/or animation for almost everything, but the enemy pieces just blink away when you land on them.  Was there a reason their deaths are not animated, or just lack of resources near the end?
• I see that there are additional forms you can buy, but they cost a ton and I was not willing to do any IAP so I did not experience them.  I bet the Unicorn is neat.

It may seem like I am picking out only critical things, but this seems like a good game.  I think with the difficulty adjusted it might be quite popular among younger players.

Tthanks for your in-depth review.

1. You can upgrade the knight with shields that will save you coins. After tutorial it will be enough coins to do that.
2. I will think about difficulty curve. Anyway you can return to levels where you couldn't get 3 stars later, after knight upgrade, and complete them on 3 stars.
3. Thanks for this comment. I'll try to test and fix game on phones like yours.
4. I will think about this. May be in next update.
5. Ads are a small reward to developers. Anyway you can just turnoff wifi on your phone or support developer and remove ads by IAP.
6. It's not too easy animate enemy pieces. That's why i just play beat sound. May be in next update I will do this,
7. Yes. There is Zebra knight and Unicorn knight. They have unique abilities. You don't have to do IAP to buy them. You will have enough coins after about 40 level if you don't use bonuses too often. Just try to open more achievments that give you more coins and bonus levels.

I make a small video gameplay of Knight's Tour puzzle game:
