Chessformer

Chessformer is a mind-bending puzzle game that challenges you to use chess pieces in unique ways to solve puzzles. Your movement is restricted to the capabilities of the chess piece you\'re controlling, and your goal is to guide it to the king by utilizing its distinctive abilities.

How to Play Chessformer

Chess Piece Movements

In Chessformer, the movement patterns of traditional chess pieces are applied to a 2D grid. For example, rooks can only move in straight lines, bishops move diagonally, and so forth. The key difference is that you move your pieces sideways, meaning that as you move up, the piece also falls down the board.

Challenging Puzzles

The game starts off easy, offering a simple introduction to its mechanics, but don’t get too comfortable. As you progress, the difficulty ramps up significantly, requiring you to think critically and come up with creative strategies to advance through the increasingly complex levels.
