Shatar is a new free 3D single player puzzle game. It is chess inspired. You play as a chess piece on a 3D board and the goal is to reach a specific square in the board, but it won't be easy since enemies can eat you at any time. Plus there is a maximun number of moves the player can make to reach the goal and complete the level.
Each piece will move according to chess rules but, if you are not familiar with chess, you can still play this game since the game will highlight the squares you can move to. The game also highlights the enemies next move. It has a very intuitive way of playing but it is still challenging. Even though you can play this game and complete levels even if you don't know about chess, it also rewards people that do know about chess rules because the less moves you make in a level, the more stars you will earn. 3 stars is the the most stars you can get per level!
In game, you will have to switch between different chess pieces to be able to complete the level. Each piece has its own shape on its base. It is important to know this because to be able to unlock the exit (goal square), you will have to open it pressing a button on the board. but this button can only be pressed by an specific piece, one that can fit in it.
On each level, the player's starting piece is the pawn. The pawn can only move in one direction. Pawns are also unnoticed by enemies. Pawn is also the only piece that fit throught the door to reach the goal square. So you will have to finish the levels with the pawn as well.
As said before, players can switch between other chess pieces to be able to eat and pass through enemies and to unlock the exit. Chess pieces will unlock on specific levels. Won't spoil what characteristics other pieces have.
It has been a fun ride to make this game. Please support it so we can improve this game even more and also, this way, we will be able to update and add more fun and challenging levels in the future!
