My name is Zac and I'm an organizer with Fantastic Arcade in Austin, TX. We're hosting a media jam this month with the theme of "Chess but Better (Or Worse)", someone passed along "GraviChess" and we'd love it if you were interested in submitting the game. We are accepting past work and keep it as open as possible for folks to share. We'll be playing through all submissions on June 24th via twitch.tv/fantasticarcade and at a drive-in cinema in Austin, TX. Links below! Thanks for your time.
Thanks a lot for the interest ! I'm not sure right now, I already have a polished version of that project, but it's also entirely broken, and I'm afraid to look at my code from last year, it will be painful, and I just partially finished a jam today, so I'm a bit worn out.. On the other hand, it looks like the perfect occasion to dive back into it, I just noticed that even the 2 players is broken... I'll definitely consider ! Thanks a lot for reaching out to me !
Mmmh i'd say, just click on blue pieces and you will see the authorized move and try to eat all enemies. It is only inspired by chess for pieces movements, so no need to learn real chess to play it (although I would recommend to learn basics of chess, it is a wonderful game !)

Played this with a friend during the voting period, and it was by far the best game of the ones we played. Great job!
Really fun twist on chess!
Thank you, glad you enjoy !
I found a bug: it is possible to start a move before falling all the way down :).
Yeah, that's highly possible, turn management implementation is really draft right now..
How to play chess....?

I loved the game, congratulations, when I saw it would be chess, I already liked it, and mixed it with gravity, super creative
Thanks a lot ! I will definitely update it in the future, so don't hesitate to drop by in a few weeks for a more challenging experience !
