Hi, I hope it is ok to self-promote my chess game variant here.

The main goal of each puzzle is to protect your own king. You can succeed by either :

  • Move your King to a portal square (=an exit)
  • Checkmate your opponent
  • Kill all opponent pieces (if there is no opponent king on the board)

In those puzzles, the pieces moves like in classic chess, but there are a lot of board variations :

  • board size change (each side of the board can go from 2 to 16 squares, so any size from 2x2 to 16x16)
  • Ravine (hole) square blocks any piece, but the knight (it can jump over)
  • Wall square blocks any piece move
  • Breakable square, it breaks and become ravine any time a piece leave the square
  • Closed doors blocks any piece move, while opened doors are just similar to standard square.
  • Grab a key to automatically open doors of the same colors

Each puzzle also have different side objectives :

  • Win in less than X moves
  • Save all your pieces
  • Sacrifice all your pieces
  • Do not move the king for X moves

And, there are others gameplay mecanics that I don't want to spoil... wink

Here is a promotional serie of small videos I made for the game :
