Ratings and Reviews
Great Idea
This is a great idea, being able to design and play your own chess variants using a simple interface. It mostly succeeds, but there are elements of the interface that could do with some polish, and it would be nice to see some articles on designing chess variants, and explaining some of the less intuitive elements of the interface.
Excellent game, kind of a scam, all bugs.
At its base Omnichess is an excellent game, going out on a limb to attempt something almost unique, and certainly challenging to implement, and amazingly almost succeeding. Unfortunately it's also broken and probably has been for some time. I would say that it's still worth it despite its faults, just about, but expect many parts of the app to respond only sometimes, or refresh confusingly resulting in loosing your newly created content, more problematically expect systems such as submitting levels to publish, the password reset server, and the system that makes anything subscription based to happen beyond taking payment from your card to be altogether dead, probably permanently.
Huge bugs
1. I choose chess on the matchmaker and then it starts a game of a different variant. I don’t get the option to accept or decline, it’s starts automatically even though it’s a variant I don’t want to play
2. Every game I have just accepted to play, as I want to earn some coins, I end up sitting there waiting for white to make a move. If I’m white I wait 5 minutes. Why do these “humans” not make a move?
This is making the app useless to me
3. Not a bug but if you want to earn coins to unlock more “pieces” you will need to wait a lot of 5 minutes games as you only get 2 coins per game win and each piece cost hundreds to unlock.
