RookStar

The game takes place on a board with 16x16(or 8x8) square spaces. Some spaces have walls between them. There are 5 rooks of different colors. On the board there is a target space(containing a rotating star) with a specific color. The aim of the game is to move the matching rook with the same color as the target to the target square in as few moves as possible.

Rooks can move horizontally or vertically, stopping only when hitting another rook or a wall. Often you have to position rooks to help the matching rook reach the target square.

In the image you want to move the black rook to the black star. To be able to do that you have to first move the blue rook into a "helper" position.

Moving and selecting rooks

Rooks are moved by swiping your finger in the direction you want the selected rook to move. This can be done anywhere over the board area. You select a rook by clicking it. The currently selected rook is shown with a rotating circle around it.
