Or at least I didn&#8217;t have the impression the later levels were harder, there were just more things going on&#8230; which were not even always mandatory to use. That made the game a bit repetitive to me.<br>I also felt some levels were unnecessarily &#8220;complex&#8221;, with many knight pieces to move and most of them being really easy to place. I liked the smaller levels with only 2 knight pieces the most, some of them really require you to think about how you can swap them without one getting in the way of the other. Because otherwise, the only thinking you&#8217;ll ever have to do is to deduce which knight piece must be on a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knight Swap is a good game. It offers exactly what it seems to offer, a few hours break with accessible and pleasant puzzles.
