Evaluation

Knight Swap launched on October 22, 2019 as a self-contained minimalist puzzle game with 100 hand-crafted levels. The store description presents it as a complete package — there is no mention of planned DLC, expansions, or post-launch content. No DLC has ever been listed for the game. The developer news feed, while shared across Minimol Games titles, contains no updates specific to Knight Swap after its release. The two "major content" posts reference other games entirely: one is a free update for Chess Knights: High Noon (January 28, 2021), and the other announces a brand-new game, Puzzle Gallery: Jigsaw Art Collection (October 24, 2025). The announcements similarly relate to other Minimol Games projects (Chessarama and an early demo). None of these posts indicate any planned or delivered post-launch content for Knight Swap itself. Knight Swap was clearly shipped as a finished product at launch, and there is no evidence the developer ever intended to extend it beyond its original 100-level offering.

About this game

Knight Swap is a minimalist puzzle game based on the old chess problem of swapping knights on a board.

The goal in each level is to move the white knights to where the black knights are placed (and vice versa) using the features of the board.

One simple goal, taken to a completely new level of complexity and originality.

100 hand-crafted levels with increasing complexity;
Original designed concept for the board, including partial and complete rotations, trigger buttons, teleportation tiles, and movable parts;
Extremely easy to learn and extremely complex to master;
Originally composed music to help you focus and relax while solving the puzzles;
A fun chess puzzle available to everyone (even to those who have never played chess).
