Daily Challenge

A new challenge every day.

Everyone gets the same board, objectives, and modifiers. Some challenges fall on the first attempt. Others take dozens of runs to crack.

Current Checkfall gameplay with modern enemy danger squares, the live HUD, and collapsing-board holes.
Territory mode scoreboard and board state with rival colors, shrinking hazards, and power-ups.

Game Modes

Same movement. Different objective.

You grow a tail with each piece you capture. Territory rewards control instead of survival. Other game modes reshape what winning looks like without changing how the pieces move.

Puzzle Mode

Enemies are frozen in time.

Transform into every piece you take. Clear the board in the turn limit. Oh, and there are portals.
