INTRODUCTION

============

Knight Escape is a chess-inspired puzzle game where your goal is to help the Knight escape.


GAME INSTRUCTIONS

=================

The objective is to guide the Knight to the Exit (square marked with the letter E). Each level provides a limited number of moves. If the player fails to reach the exit within this move limit, the game ends.

To move the pieces, the player must enter the number of the target square, from 1 to 9. Careful planning is essential, as every move counts and mistakes can quickly lead to failure.

Simple in appearance but challenging in execution, the game rewards logical thinking and efficient use of moves.


CONTROLS

========

Keyboard: keys 1 to 9 and Enter (or NEWLINE).

WARNING: Do not press SPACE (spacebar) at any time, as this will interrupt the game’s execution!
