This is our second time participating in Ludum Dare game jam as a team. I worked with my good friends @Spider and @Goseid again. Spider did the level design and music, Goseid did the artwork and a lot of coding.

The game is a mashup between Chess and a classic 80's arcade game. The "ghosts" are chess pieces that move within the constraints of the actual chess game. Watch those knights, they are tricky!

Unfinished Work

The power-pills that trigger the chase mechanic have not been implemented. We ran out of time. Also, many of the chess pieces aren't supported yet. We would have liked to given you multiple lives, but that feature didn't get finished in time. We hope to continue working on it and complete those features after the jam.

Thanks for checking out Chess-Chomp, we hope you have as much fun playing it as we did making it!
