Thanks edanm, really glad you're enjoying echo chess! Very good point, will iterate on that. Would it help if the obstacle squares had some pattern/texture in them or something like an 'x' inside instead of simply being a different color?

Yes, I believe that would help. Or perhaps make them appear "raised" or something like that - like a raised block that can't be traversed.

Yeah I tried experimenting with that a bit at the beginning. For some reason it kept looking too '3D-ish' compared to the rest of the flat material design. Do you have any visual examples you've seen of something closer to what you have in mind? Would be super helpful, thanks.

Sorry, I don't. Maybe just a rough texture would be good though.
