The Last Pawn

Play:

Full screen Touch: Swipe up, down, left, or right to move the pawn in that direction. Tap to pass a turn. Confirmed working for all five actions via real touch testing. · Keyboard: WASD or arrow keys to move, spacebar to pass a turn.

About:

Survive as long as possible as the last black pawn while the white army advances one square from every direction each turn. Swipe or use WASD to move, tap or press space to pass a turn, and capture an enemy when your on-screen meter fills. Touch and keyboard run through the same react-swipeable input handlers, confirmed by playing five consecutive turns entirely by touch. The in-game 'How To Play' screen has a real readability bug (light text on a low-contrast background) on both mobile and desktop -- worth reading the controls here instead.
