Cheque-Mate is a Chess Roguelike where you play a single king facing off against waves and waves of enemy pieces all trying to capture you. As you capture them however, you're able to collect coins and buy additional pieces to help you to survive!
How long will you last?
Hints and tips:
- When you're done moving all your pieces, click the screen again to advance to the enemy turn.
- The enemies always go for your King, and will ignore other pieces if they're not in the way.
- The enemies are always trying to get as close to the king as possible, prioritising orthogonal spaces over diagonal ones.
- Enemies that can't move closer to the king will remain still, but you must still move all your pieces.
- Pawns will not be promoted when they reach the end of the board.
- If you have pieces that can't move, and the turn won't advance, click on them at least once to let the game know
This prototype was built in just two weeks, and I am planning to develop it further. If you have ideas, suggestions, or other feedback, I'm all ears and I'd love to hear them!
