Liar's Chess
LIAR'S CHESS
Devlog:
How to play:
You start with the standard chess pieces, but in random positions. The aim of the game is to take ALL the CPUs counters. There are no checks or checkmates...
...which is lucky, because you have NO IDEA where their king, or any other pieces, actually are.
The only way to discover what they are, is to call the CPU a LIAR😈
If you incorrectly call them a liar or get caught in a lie yourself three times, the game ends early
TRUST NO ONE

I like the idea, but I wish checkmate could have been kept. Perhaps checkmate can be something you could lie about as well? Would also love the option of playing against other people.
The devlog was good! I think it is a really good idea. The CPU still does impossible moves for any piece where it goes across the board jumping over the front row.
I intentionally made it possible for that to happen, but I think the probabilities might be a little unbalanced 😂
Ah, that makes sense. It was a bit funny when I saw it! Maybe only do it if the player is losing badly, although the game is already easy as it is.
definitely planning to update the game with some higher difficulty options at the very least, unfortunately for the jam I was just so out of time it wasn’t possible.
I’d love to collect other ideas to improve the game too, but this is a great start
pretty fun game!! very strong idea
really cool idea! Loved it!
