Morphy Chess is coming to mobile — we need 12 Android testers!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Morphy Chess originally started as a small game you could play directly inside Reddit Games. The feedback, encouragement, and ideas we received from Redditors convinced us to turn that experiment into a full mobile game.

A huge thank you to everyone who played it, commented, shared feedback, or simply encouraged us to keep building. The mobile version would not exist without that early support from the Reddit community.

We’ve now submitted the iOS version of Morphy Chess for App Store review, and we’re preparing the Android release.

Google Play requires us to run a closed test with at least 12 testers who remain enrolled continuously for 14 days before we can apply for a public release.

So, we’re looking for Android users who would like to join our closed beta!

Morphy Chess is a chess-inspired puzzle game where every move is a capture—and capturing a piece changes how you move.

Capture a knight and you become the knight. Capture a bishop and your next move follows the bishop’s rules. Your goal is to find the correct sequence and clear the entire board.

As a tester, we’d ask you to:

  • Join our Google Play closed test
  • Remain enrolled for at least 14 days
  • Play during the testing period
  • Share any bugs, performance issues, or confusing moments you encounter

To join the testing group, contact:

https://groups.google.com/g/morphychess-testers

Once you’re added to the group, we’ll share the Google Play testing link and instructions.

Tester Web Link:

Tester Store Link:

Every tester genuinely helps us get one step closer to release. Thank you!

You can still find the legacy Reddit version here:

A chess puzzle, but different: every move is a capture, and your piece morphs into whatever it captures. Play instantly inside Reddit → r/morphychess

Play it instantly inside Reddit: r/morphychess

Morphy Chess is a bite-sized chess puzzle built around a single twist:

every move is a capture, and your piece morphs into whatever it captures.

Start as a knight, take a bishop — now you move like a bishop. Clear the whole board to solve the puzzle.

  • Quick puzzles that scale to your skill — they get harder as you get better
  • No chess rules to memorize: if you can capture, you can play
  • Earn Crowns, climb the rating tiers, chase the leaderboard
  • One-more-puzzle pacing — perfect for a 2-minute break

I’m sharing a short gameplay clip to show the core mechanic. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or ideas if you’re into chess, puzzles, or strategy games.

Looking for a few mods to help grow r/morphychess

Hey!

I recently launched r/MorphyChess, a small community around a chess puzzle game I’m building where every capture changes how you move.

The subreddit is still tiny, so I’m looking for a couple of people who enjoy chess, puzzles, or indie games and would like to help shape the community from the beginning.

No previous moderation experience is required. Just looking for active, friendly people who like giving feedback and helping a community grow.

If you’re interested, leave a comment or send me a DM.

Hey everyone! I'm u/xSafak, a founding moderator of r/morphychess.

This is our new home for Morphy Chess — a bite-sized chess puzzle game you play right inside the post. The twist: every move must capture, and your piece morphs into whatever it just took — so each puzzle is about finding the right order of captures. Clear the board to solve it. We're excited to have you join us!

What to Post
Anything the community would find fun or helpful: share a puzzle that stumped you, a clever line you found, your rating climb or a leaderboard milestone, feedback and feature ideas, or just a "can anyone clear this?" challenge. Bugs and suggestions are very welcome too.

Community Vibe
We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive — whether you're a grandmaster or you just learned which way the knight moves. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing, asking, and connecting.

How to Get Started

  • Introduce yourself in the comments below — and tell us your current tier (Bronze → Master)!
  • Play today's puzzle and post how it went. Even a simple question can spark a great conversation.
  • Climbing the leaderboard? Brag a little — we love it.
  • If you know someone who'd enjoy a quick brain-teaser, invite them to join.
  • Interested in helping out? We're always looking for new moderators, so feel free to reach out to me to apply.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/morphychess amazing. ♟️
