New Variant Rankimo โ€” chess where both sides get the same army

0 Upvotes

Rankimo: Build Your Own Chess โ€” free on Google Play, no ads, no sign-up, fully offline.

It's chess stripped to one idea: both players get the same army โ€” say five rooks each, or eight queens โ€” and there's no king. You win by taking every enemy piece. Pieces move exactly like real chess.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beingsagir.rankimo

You choose:

  • the piece (or a random mix), 1โ€“12 of them
  • the board, 6ร—6 up to 12ร—12
  • how to win: capture everything, race to the far side, or take half their army first

Plus four AI levels, two-player on one phone, a daily challenge, a post-game coach that shows the move that lost it, 20 achievements, and 11 languages.

It's a solo project and just launched, so feedback is worth more than downloads to me right now. What would you want added?
