quite amazing

Very original ! I don't really like Chess game, but this game is well done and interesting. Congratulations for the mini-games.

There should be some kind of walkthrough. I got fed up, when I could not get passed the woodworm game. No hints I saw were of any help. Trial and Error does not work for some of us. Would have been nice to continue the adventure as I was enjoying it, being a chess player, but it was impossible for me to get passed the woodworm game.

I rarely comment on games in general but I thought it appropriate in this case since the game was released without much fanfare. I was pleasantly surprised by Zugzwang and recommend it to fans of chess, though people who hate chess might want to give it a miss as learning the game is a big part of this game. Also it suffers from some kludgy puzzle design but overall it's a solid, fun adventure that's even more impressive when you recognize it was made within a month.

Zugwang is one of my top ten favourite AGs games of all time and a sadly oft-overlooked masterpiece. It combines elements of the adventure game with chess simulations. Superb for children, or anyone, who wants to learn chess, Zugwang teaches the basics of the game (and some of the more complex elements too) gradually and brilliantly. If you already play chess, you'll enjoy it. If you don't, it's a great learning experience as well as a very inventive and entertaining adventure game.

Zugwang is one of the most lovingly crafted and ingeniously concieved adventure games I have ever played. Try it, you won't regret it.
