This game was made using Godot 4.2.stable.
I tried to create the most minimalistic version of Rogue that I could think of. No items, no leveling, no HP, no blocks, no evasion... The result reminded me a lot of chess (hence the name) and gave the game an almost puzzle-like quality. Other units and enemies where planned, but I could not come up with convincing mechanics or did not have the time to execute them. Maybe I will update the game and implement more in the future.
Feel free to suggest any changes or additions to the game!
I am thankful for any feedback. Have fun and thanks a lot!

Loved it, it's a fun game to fidget with and i want to keep it as my main low-battery-cost game to play when there's no wifi etc etc. I think you found a really nice niche here by keeping it minimal, stress-free but at the same time kinda spooky when mobs show up just around the corner. Wish you could just add gamepad support, fullscreen mode and a nice little icon to pin the game to start. Other than that, i really enjoy it. Thank you and keep up!
PS to anyone playing on a laptop: i suggest to limit the framerate with an external software to keep the wattage low.
Interesting.
You need to pay close attention even if there is no enemy, as you need to notice that pixel of a ghost around the corner. That’s too tedious for me.
I totally get it! Thanks for letting me know!
You’re welcome!
Very nice!
