This was fun. I played for a few minutes and like how there seem to be multiple ways to play the game-

1. just get through the level and not worry about losing points

2. get through the level without losing any points but not worrying about clearing all the pieces

3. absolute perfection where you clear all the pieces without losing any points

This flexibility makes it good for serious players but also kids/casual players. Great job!

Unfortunately sometimes it's impossible not to lose any points because all of the initial squares you can move to are under attack.

You're right, I guess I should reword it to "not lose any unnecessary points." I remember a level like that with a queen in just the right spot that any legal move was attacked, but moving left/right changed your options for later moves.
