Experience
Knight Moves
The Knight Moves is an extremely addictive game for every casual gamer or puzzle solver.
It has very simple rules:
You must visit every open square of a chess board with your knight, using knight moves (L-shape).
Some squares are blocked, so you’ll have to search the path to each open square.
I worked on the iOS and android apps using cocos2d-x, as well as on the game and UI design.
