Chessbumping
A chaotic, knockout-style version of chess in which you BUMP other pieces to PUSH them out of the board!
- Small-scale; small grids, low number of units, easy to approach and learn.
- Collision-based hijinx; setup and exploit chain reactions to take the advantage.
Playable with a mouse, touchscreen, keyboard, or gamepad.
Local multiplayer ("hot seat") is available as well as playing against bots of different levels.
There is a How To Play section available in the main menu.

Game works well, the bouncing effect really makes it over the top lol.
I do like the move preview showing the result of the move. Makes it easier to understand.
The AI is kinda weak but I'm probably just too strong lol. Do a minmax with alphabeta pruning and you should be good though.
The over-the-topness became intented at some point during development :)
Thanks for the feedback!
This really needs promotions. The endgame is so meatless without it.
Thank you for your feedback!
How do you even reach endgames lol.
Original but the strategy is so different from classic chess that I was lost. Actually, even the advanced bot is lost. He often gets the lead but then he sabotages itself and give me the victory.
Also satisfying sound.
And maybe one bug: in the split level, against advanced bot, play the pawn in front of your king. The bot will exploit a nice combos for him that expose your king (I didn't think, too much used to move that pawn...). But then, you can't move your king at the top left diagonal square while you should be able to... Play something else and next turn you can.
Thank you for taking the time to play it! And thanks for the bug report, we'll look into that.
Yeah, strategically it makes up a very different game than chess. The bots are indeed not ideal yet, hoping to revisit them in the future.
This is lots of fun, I wonder where it's going to go next!

We'll see :) Thanks for the kind words!
