About the Game

Buffs

This isn't just normal chess without a king to checkmate, you can upgrade your pieces. You get 5 slots in which you can place the buffs you come across throughout your run. Ranging from a buff that allows your rooks to ram through pieces to knights being able to move near infinitely.

Items

You can slot up to 2 items & use them any time. From bombs to potions that summon ghost pawns, use these to give yourself even more of an edge against your opponents.

Different Rooms

Throughout the game you will come across different rooms, each with their own special environments. From grass that hides the type of piece that's in it, to quicksand that swallows your pieces & even minibosses with their own armies.

Features:

  • All pieces from OG Chess & custom pieces like The Plague Doctor & Jerry.

  • Buffs to make your pieces stronger.

  • Items to catch your enemies off guard.

  • Boss battles.

  • Different boards with their own environmental danger.

  • Each piece has personality, using emotion bubbles to convey what they think of your actions.
