Chonky chess how could I freaking not. AMAZING <3

I see what you did there.

Funny result from the theme

A few UI inclusions would help with replayability; such as calling out check, or indicating what squares the scaled chess piece occupies, and where the pieces can move to in their enlarged state

I certainly didn't expect to see a chess game but here we are XD

This is a hilarious idea! I do wish we could see a preview of where pieces were able to move, as it's not always clear. There were also times when I was in check and didn't realize, and I was confused for a while why I couldn't make other moves.

Fun idea, not sure how white won in my play through but, I had white in check.

Funny concept, I wish I had a CPU to play against! Needed some basic chess stuff like check and checkmate indicators.

Developer

It should already indicate when a checkmate happens! Check indicators are a good idea though

Really cool concept!

Solid chess with a nice twist ! I would like some better clarity when scaling a piece sideway it can be sometimes tough to read !

Submitted

Nice game! It's not particularly fun to play, but it's a cool concept.

Nice chess-like game!

Chesstaurant?

Great idea and genious executed. It looks amazing and the big pieces are still kind of realistic which is good. Not as unique as other games but chess games are always consistent

The name already gives all of the description needed.

I think this is mostly for people who regular the anarchy chess subreddit (like me). The change in piece sizes makes for a very interesting and welcome new layer of complexity, but apart from that it plays like chess and mostly looks like chess.
