Endspiel - Chess Puzzle Game

[Sergiy Pasternak]

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a small passion project during evenings and weekends - a chess puzzle game called Endspiel. It’s not a full-blown chess engine or anything like that - just a simple game focused on solving chess puzzles in a clean, minimalistic UI.

I built the entire game solo in under 4 months, mostly in my spare time after work. The game is written entirely in C++. It runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, and also in the browser (via WebAssembly). I used my own cross-platform game framework, which I originally developed for a previous project. It’s partially based on SDL2 (except on Windows, where I use native APIs).

If anyone’s interested, you can play it here: https://endspiel.online/play/

Also available on App Store and Google Play

Please give it a try! Any feedback is welcome:)

That’s really impressive work — building a full cross-platform chess puzzle game solo in just a few months is no small feat! 🎯 The clean design and smooth performance are great. I’ll definitely give it a try — looks like a perfect way to sharpen tactics without the clutter.

I do not like puzzle games. I Love to play action games like Bloodborne PC.

This looks awesome! I really love the minimalist UI, and building your own cross-platform framework in C++ is seriously impressive. As someone who is also way more comfortable with logic and code, I totally get the appeal of a clean chess puzzle game. Math and science have always been my strong points, so when I had to write a creative narrative piece for a humanities elective recently, I was completely out of my element. I just couldn't find the right words or figure out the flow of the story. I ended up looking into a Studymoose essay writing service to see how professionals actually structure their writing. It gave me great inspiration and helped me craft something that actually made sense. It's so much easier when things follow a logical structure, whether it's an essay or an elegant C++ codebase. I'm definitely downloading Endspiel on my phone to try out some puzzles between my study sessions! Great work.

Great game!
