About
What Lodemate does
Lodemate is a chess puzzle game for iPhone and iPad where magnets move the pieces.
Iron pieces get pulled. Wooden ones don't. After every move, each magnet drags the nearest iron piece on its line right up beside it, so one quiet move can set off a chain reaction that ends in mate. Hold a piece over a square and the board shows what the magnets will do before you let go.
- 64 puzzles in 13 worlds, each with exactly one first move that works
- Something new in every world: coils, lodestones, repulsors, shields, levers, poles, mine carts and more
- Deep Lode: drop a piece down a shaft and bring it back up changed
- A new puzzle every day, a streak to keep, and a Home Screen widget
- Whole games against the engine or a friend on the same device
