Checkmate chess
Hello friend,
Here's ♔CHECKMATE ♚, a chess simulator that twist the classic rules in creative ways!
- Vanilla Chess: of course must be the plain vanilla version, if you don't feel adventurous at all.
- Flowered Chess: every capture blooms a flower on that square, blocking it forever! Probably the hardest version, a mix between chess and minesweeper.
- Prisoner Chess; after each capture, free one of your captured pieces and return it to its starting position. Match become way longer now!
- Fog-of-War Chess: here, you can see only your pieces and their move spot, everything else is shrouded in fog. Surprising if you never try something like that.
- Energy Chess: each piece costs energy to move, and if you don't have enough energy, you must skip your turn
- Royal Bodyguard: secretly choose one of your pieces as the "true king". If it's captured, you lose.
- Pawn Revolt: When you lose your Queen or both Bishops, your pawns revolt and move like a King.
- Chimera Chess: fuse two of your pieces together. The chimera moves with both abilities, but you risk lose 2 pieces.
- Random Chess: the pieces of each color are randomly positioned in their rows, only the King stay in the back row.
Features:
- Blingual Italian & English
- A really basic but effective AI that moves the enemy
- Support 2-player local mode for each variant
- Move hints as optional visual clues
- Should definitely work on mobile, now
- A series of accessibility options and fonts
Hope you enjoy the game!
