Great concept. Pretty enjoyable and with a server to store the high scores. I could easily see this becoming a cult classic in a community.

Great idea! RTS chess!

That was indeed out of control. Pretty scary to try and playing chess like that.

Really enjoyed the game! I loved the idea of just killing everything with my rook. Trying to be faster than the computer was also super fun. Really good job!

Huh, seems like an ordinary game of chess, I just... wait, why isn't the opponent mo-DID HE JUST MOVE TWICE??? OFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUKOFUK

That pretty much summarizes the first few moments I had with this game. Absolutely brilliant.

Finally a chess game that I can actually win. Cool twist on well-known mechanics. Real-time thing allows for some exploits but I think this could be made into a really good game if the dev(s) take care of it. Well done!

Fun chess game for casual playing.

This is heaps cool. I've never seen a real-time chess game before. Knowing chess makes you feel quite powerful because you can make lots of moves in very quick succession. It's almost like an RTS . But surely enough, I also lost my queen so quickly.

To take the game further, since you are bending the rules of traditional chess, you can't stop with only 'real-time'.

  • You could add obstacles
  • Randomly 'blocked' pieces that you either can't move or can't capture.
  • The ability to place captured pieces back to the board after a certain time.
  • Multiplayer.
