BOTHMCB: Heavy Metal Chess

About this app

BLOOD ON THE HEAVY METAL CHESS BOARD BOTHMCB is a chess‑inspired puzzle where you decide how many moves it takes to recreate a 3×3 objective. Study the pattern, predict your moves, and transform your board using rotations, mirrors, and careful planning. The fewer tricks you rely on, the higher your final rank. In BOTHMCB you get to: • Analyze a 3×3 objective and predict your move count • Test your memory and precision as you recreate the pattern • Rotate, mirror, or replace objectives to shape each challenge • Push for higher ranks through efficiency and smart planning • Track your stats, streaks, and personal bests • Earn coins and unlock rewards in the Infernal Vault • Play with a heavy‑metal soundtrack and offline support Risk and Reward Running out of moves doesn’t always end your run. You can accept an Infernal Pact to continue your streak at the cost of a lower final rank, or spend coins earned through play (or optional rewarded ads) to buy reserve moves. Can you reach the highest rank without making a deal with Hell?

Ver 1.2: Small iPad Fix (pieces are now visivle on 10.5 iPad Pro VERSION 1.1: You can now drag pieces instead of tapping twice - press and hold a piece, drag it across the board, and it follows your finger with a bit of swing and momentum. Drop it on a highlighted square to move it, or release anywhere else to snap it back. Classic tap-to-select-then-tap-to-move still works exactly as before, so use whichever feels better. VERSION 1.0 - THE FULL RITUAL Blood on the Heavy Metal Chess Board rises from the forge, complete. * New: How to Play - a tap-through guide walks you through every rule, from your first move to your final grade. * Your rank now shows its true colors - a grade icon burns next to your Warcraft Accuracy on the main menu. * The pre-battle screen now shows your Coins, Infernal Vault, and Penalty Points before you commit - tap the ! icon for the full breakdown. * Rerolling a goal now costs 1 Coin. No more dodging the hard ones for free. * Smoothed out ad-button feedback and other small fixes. The board is set. Bid wisely. 0.9 NEW: SEED PLAY Every card now shows its Seed on-screen - tap it to copy instantly. Bring that Seed to Seed Play from the main menu to replay the exact same card again and again, completely risk-free. It's a pure practice sandbox: nothing you do there touches your Battles Fought, Warcraft Accuracy, or Unbroken Onslaught streak. Master a brutal layout in peace - or share a Seed and dare a friend to beat it.
