Knightrush: Chess Runner
Endless Arcade Survival Game
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Chess on a board that never stops. Jump in L-shapes, capture pieces, dodge every attacked square and survive as long as you can. No forced ads, no pay-to-win.
Chess, but the board never stops moving.
Knightrush is an endless chess runner. You are a lone knight on a board that keeps scrolling. Jump forward in L-shapes, capture enemy pieces for points, and never land on a square an enemy attacks. Fall off the bottom of the board and the run is over.
HOW IT PLAYS
• Tap a green square to jump there. One finger, one tap.
• Land on a pawn, bishop, rook, queen or king to capture it and score.
• Red squares are under attack. Land on one and you are captured.
• Capture on jump after jump to build a combo, up to x5.
• Every 25 rows is a new, harder stage. How far can you survive?
You do not need to know chess to play. If you do, you will read the board faster: every enemy attacks exactly like the real piece.
BOOSTS FOR A TIGHT SPOT
Bring 3 boosts into each run:
• Shield: red squares can't hurt you
• Freeze: the board stops scrolling
• Blast: wipes out the enemies around you
• Demote: every enemy is only a pawn
• Lightning: strikes down the most dangerous enemy
• Scout: shows a safe path ahead
FAIR BY DESIGN
• No pay-to-win. Coins buy looks and single-use boosts, never a permanent scoring edge. Everyone on the leaderboard plays the same game.
• No forced ads. Ads are optional, for a revive or bonus coins.
• Coins are earned by playing, plus a daily gift.
MAKE IT YOURS
• 6 boards: Obsidian Dungeon, Frost Citadel, Sunken Temple, Haunted Crypt, Infernal Forge and Royal Court
• 5 knights: Ivory Knight, Gold Paladin, Shadow Knight, Frost Knight and Royal Knight
COMPETE
• Game Center leaderboard for your best run
• 24 achievements, from First Blood to Grandmaster
• iCloud keeps your progress across your devices
Premium is a one-time purchase: it removes ads for good (revive and bonus coins without watching one) and unlocks the exclusive Royal Knight and Royal Court.
Short runs, quick decisions, one more try. How long can your knight survive?
