Hey RemiQA! I have a browser-based 3D chess variant called Aurora Chess that might be interesting to test it runs fully in the browser on itch.io so it fits your requirements. Would you be up for it? Link: https://hasa92.itch.io/aurora-chess

Hey! I've been building Aurora Chess, a 3D chess variant that expands the classic board into 4 vertical layers so that pieces can move and attack across the Z-axis as well as the traditional XY plane.

Play it here (browser, free): https://hasa92.itch.io/aurora-chess

What I'm looking for feedback on:

- First impression, does the 3D board feel intuitive or overwhelming? Where do you get confused?

- Game modes: Standard, Arcade, and Capture the Flag. Which feels most fun or most broken?

- Online multiplayer, does the matchmaking/ELO feel fair? Any connection issues?

- Controls: touch, keyboard and mouse are all supported. Any pain points?

- Visual clarity, can you tell which pieces are yours and where they can move?

Built with Three.js with a "Cosmic Glass" aesthetic. Works on desktop and mobile. No install needed, runs entirely in the browser.

Any feedback welcome, even just a "this confused me at step X." Thanks!

Fun and addictive but perhaps miss swipes that dont touch anything should be penaltized somehow so that simply spamming swipes would not be a strategy

Interesting concept, would like to see some sort of aftermath result, for example if player voted "not quilty" will the subject commit the crime or not and also what kind of punishment the "guilty" votes get

Perhaps some sort of punishment to the player if too many "not quilty" people end up committing the crimes after all

Aurora Chess is now available to play free in your browser.

It’s a 3D chess variant on an 8×8×4 board with three modes: Standard with online multiplayer and ELO, Arcade with lasers and board morphing, and Capture the Flag where checkmate isn’t the objective.

This is an early release. Some things are still being worked on: the puzzle suite is small, certain assets are placeholders, and gamepad support has known issues on some platforms. Online multiplayer is fully working and guests can play without an account.

If you try it, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback: what works, what doesn’t, what’s confusing on first play. The in-game tutorial covers the cross-layer movement rules if 3D chess is new to you.

Thanks for playing.
