A downloadable game for Windows

In my apparent continuous refusal at playing Chess the normal way comes this twist: You have to move two adjacent pieces at the same time!

What results is a much faster paced game of Chess, and the usual strategies won't work.

The game is fully controlled by the mouse.

This is my submission for the GMTK GameJam 2021, my original hope was to have some crude AI, but I ran out of time.

Love it! Just missing an ai. Even random moves. Or a tutorial with limited pieces. Great concept, well executed.

Thanks :)
Before working on the game, I decided that a computer player would be something I'd do if I had the time. Unfortunately I'm occupied for the remainder of the Jam time, but maybe for a post Jam, depending on how i feel.
