Rogue Piece

Made for the "Viral Glitch Game Jam" for GX Games - https://gx.games/games/sbszti/rogue-piece/

Rogue Piece is a reimagining of chess — fused with the chaotic fun of a roguelike. You play as a single ever-shifting chess piece, changing form every turn. One moment you're a Bishop, the next a Knight — your survival depends on adapting quickly and thinking ahead.

Strategic precision meets fast-paced decision-making as enemy pieces swarm the board, each using classic chess rules but attacking relentlessly — not just you, but each other as well. Chaos unfolds as alliances shift and the board becomes a battleground.

You’ll need to balance every move: do you play it safe, or risk danger to gain more coins and power up?

Earn gold by defeating enemies, then spend it between levels to upgrade your Rogue Piece with new abilities, bonuses, and buffs. But beware — with each level, the board grows deadlier. More enemies, harsher modifiers, and less room for mistakes.
