Chessn't
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is by far the best and most fun chess variant you'll ever play!
Each turn the player receives a random modifier that can affect single pieces (by dragging and dropping it on them) or the board itself. After that they make a move like normal, except with all available power ups. First to capture the enemy king wins.
If a target square can be reached by 2 or more different modified movement schemes a UI will be shown to select which movement method should be used.
Network connection uses port 7000. IP will default to localhost if not provided.
Piece modifiers:
- Shoot: instead of moving to the target square, attack the piece by shooting it
- HP: adds 1 extra hit point for the affected piece
- Pull: pulls the piece that is opposite to the movement direction by one in the movement direction
- Push: pushes the piece in the target square by 1 in the direction of the movement
- Freeze: freezes the piece forever - yes it's broken, no we didn't have time to balance ;)
- Float: this piece can jump over any number of pieces - yes it's even more broken then freeze!
- Explode: when this piece gets captured it explodes in a 3x3 radius
- Teleport: this piece can move to any empty square on the board
Board modifiers:
- Add row: adds row to selected place on the board
- Add column: adds column to selected place on the board
